[Em] [E]
[Em]
I'm [B] about to put on my sickle I need to take a turn
See I be trying to tell them but it's hard to make them [E] learn
The white man run the ball is [Em] too David Stern
Kindergarten teacher had me twisted [F#] Had me up in that slow class
They know that I was gifted [E] I bet they mad they missed it
Cause the youngin bout to blow up The nigga won't be down
When they see a nigga grow up [Am] Feet up in the air
Now I got your daughter toe up Have [A] her smoke until she's stupid
And drinkin until she throw up [B] Now who's to blame
The game chose me I didn't choose the [E] game I can only take away your perception of it
I [Am] can't remove the pain It's hard to accept the money
And then [Em] refuse the fame Now I feel [G] like Etta Jane
Take it out [B] my blues and bang Go get a brain nigga lose the [Em] chain
Cause that's that goofy ass shit That be making most of [Am] you losers lame
A lot of dudes the same I know that [Em] I'm different
Even [G] in the middle of it I be feeling [B] distant When everything's changing on you it's hard to
be [Em] consistent And I'm working by myself no assistant
[Am] Kids these days it's like a movement in the making
[G] So if you think I'm playing your amusement is mistaken
[B] Nigga worth the chain they think the music is amazing
If [Em] we just be chilling with our people grooving in the basement
I'm [Am] a fly guy Fill the turbine fuel soon as the nigga [Em] fly by
Chillin when I step into science cap [F#] a sci-fi Working on my touch like [Em] I'm on somebody
I need my own box like Muay Thai Feet on the router I'm in a room up on my
Macbook [F#] I was in the streets while you was hitting
a black book [Em] Watch my [Dm] front girl I tell you how your back
look [E] The mission is to change more lives than
crack took I'm [Em] back on the block I know it's wrong
But we all go [F#] through it Fighting my subliminal telling me dawg don't
[B] do it Told myself I needed my space and law don't
[E] do it It was love like Jessica Hewitt until I
[Em] blew it [B]
[E] [B]
[Bm] [N] [Em] Then I blew it too
God I'm only [F#] trying to do what you would do So I be split up for like [E] two and two
I know I've been an underage drinker and a truant too
But when you coming up in the city shit can [Am] influence you
I don't blame it But they shoot it before they [A] aim it
Hear a rapper tell a lie and entertain it [B] That shit is for the birds like bread crumbs
A bakery [E] deliver how the bread comes Drunk off murder sipping them [Am] bread crumbs
Black sky mother lamenting over her [Em] dead son You ask why the bullet wound from
where your nigga [B] Blair run For hours for the law even decide to show
they [G] face Now they closing up the casket like they
about to close the [Am] case But fuck it that's the reason we get highs
for [Em] escape But when you running from your problems
man it's hard to win a [B] race See they tell you the way you plan your
part you in your [Em] place But I'm permanent I'm too hard to erase
Listen [Am] to the restless

[Em]
[B] To whom it may [F] concern You're a negro [D] spiritual
Your touch is magic [D#m] Got me feeling mystical
Appeal to my spirit cause you got me in the physical
[Bm] We could be holy scripture the metaphor is so biblical
Their eyes are [Em] watching God Yeah I see you youngin
[A] Got a thing or two to learn about loving Too many of [G] these kids is just out here fucking
Let a fly [F#m] grown woman teach you something Welcome to school here's a life lesson
[D#] Love her like an instrument cause she's a [B] blessing When you call on God remember she's his saxophone
Her heart beats his favorite ringtone [A#] Did you know black love was political
Hip hop was libation [F#] ritual Flashbacks of us holding hands
through the middle passage You still stuck in class [Em] trying to pass this
Let's be under the panther act and raise some [D#] cubs Think about carrying on [D#m] the legacy of us
[Bm] Chi-town I'm from the city that never sleeps
Never [B] thought your skyline could make me weak to the knees
It's the essence of your presence I can hardly [E] speak
Got a poet at a loss for words Treated in [G] the audience front seated
I'm junk off the moonshine of your [F] design Got me retreating to collect [E] myself
Cross my legs I'm just trying to protect myself The greatest weapon [E] is your heart
The last man I loved was a shot in the dark [A] We get so uncomfortable with the silence
Distracted [E] by the screams then resort to violence Hear the whistle of the soul [F#m] as it bleeds
[G#] Hear the hunger of a man as he feeds Know [A] a plant can't grow without water and the seeds
When it gets quiet remember it's me
[Em] Listen to the whispers
