[Gb] I'm for sure of what I know, my folks [Eb] got murdered by the po [Fm]-po.
They tiptoe to [Db] unload, exposed to cover [Ab] up in co [Ebm]-co.
Tell me so, don't doubt me, cause up in my town there ain't no cushion.
[Ab] Planted in bushes, the pose of crooked.
You'll see me creeping up out of the bushes.
[Gb] Look at the pain imposed, we lost Big Los.
I was gone [Eb] a while, but that [Fm] hit home.

And now, rain [Gb] is gone, but remains are all but memories.
Recollections and reflections, [Fm] I can recall all of my set H's.
On our gauges strapped with grape [Ebm] off Sam and Smith.
And Weston's nothing too expensive, [Ab] cause we didn't have scratch, but we had each other's back.
Now I'm like, [Fm] damn man, what happened [Bb] to that?
I missed the [Ebm] time when we would ride top top [Db] outside before Los [G] Down.

So get it right, it's Blackbird.
Could've never been no [Fm] coward.

Now nothing's [Ebm] the same, when I go back, [Ab] erase the gang.

Living up in the strange, [F] and I remain to be that same OG.
[Ebm] You'll always see up in these [Fm] streets, with heat beneath the [Ab] seat.
OG's on the creep, no peace, Markie [Gb] can't breathe.
Remember the slender, clever, never tender.
No pretender, [Ab] no surrender, nor the number.
Calling it [C] Blackbird, let's go [F] backwards.
Reminiscing, click with stigma, few with G's.
So you were riding the hill, [Db] you shy around bitches, not fucking [Gb] PNC.

[Gb] But then when I did it, you felt like we split it.
Cause [Fm] I was lost in that [Db] life, and rarely would [Gb] kick it.
My bad, I was wrong, in that fast-paced one [Fm]-track line.
But if needed, I would ride at a drop of [Ebm] a dot.
When that sucker pulled his strap, I [Gb] snatched the strap out [G] his hand.
You [Ab] shook like a pit and put hands on [Gb] my man.
[Ebm] Now that I'm thinking, [Gb] it's good that [Ab] you did it.
