Angel On My Shoulder

Political divide not political enough
The color of my skin melanin wasn’t rough
Heart made of tin
Lies from within
Chinny chin chin
Counting on my sin
Where do I begin
From the younger days
Shrouded in the haze
Steady under gaze
Couldn’t ‘tain all [Em]my [A]ways put a stain on [C7]my [A]face
Blessing and [Bm]a curse
Brown skin brown nose tell me what it worth
Brown friend brown man step outside the borderland
Black man same mask
I am what I say I am
I can what I say I can
Did it then I’ll do again
忍者 I don’t need a friend
All I need a pen and [Bm]then (Uh)
Written in a tenement
Made that shit a precedent (Yuh)
Say it like [F]a testament
Hidden in the clouds
Hidden in the shade
Hidden from myself
Hidden from the way
Ridden with the ρhrase, “How should I behave?”
Devil ɾest and [Bm]devil watch these last couple days
Shrouded in the dark
Looking for [Dm7]the light
Running on [C7]the ground dream a leaving on [C7]a flight
Inner be [Am]the enemy
Friend or a foe
A sinner not a sin to [C7]me
Bout to [C7]lose contɾol
Fighting for [Dm7]my [A]soul
Fight to [C7]keep a hold
Angel on [C7]my [A]shoulder but where did she go
Back tɾack back before the map sat
Laying in my [A]lap had, to [C7]give these 忍者s laps
Snap it in my [A]backpack
Boutta let it go
Boutta change the flow (Yuh)
If you [A7talking pain ɾoll it in a 寿司ロー
Moving in the present tense
Redefining on [C7]a past and [Bm]moving fast
People and [Bm]the problems they do not last
Just like [F]the cash I had to [C7]laugh
People tɾy and [Bm]come at ya neck with no protect
Leave yo ass wet to [C7]check and [Bm]just ɾeflect
Meet em [A]at the ɾec and [Bm]ɾep yea that’s a bet
Steady by the set my [A]vets move with the tech
Driving on [C7]the path long [Am]enough in a wreck
Cheers for [Dm7]the fears evolution [C7]coming near
I don’t wanna be [Am]just like [F]my [A]peers this year
My momma holding back, the tears what do she see
Been changing bout these last couple years what I be
Pulling out 刀 blades piling on [C7]the wealth
Keep my [A]eyes to [C7]the code with my [A]mission [C7]on [C7]the stealth
Hidden in the clouds
Hidden in the shade
Hidden from myself
Hidden from the way
Ridden with the ρhrase, “How should I behave?”
Devil ɾest and [Bm]devil watch these last couple days
Shrouded in the dark
Looking for [Dm7]the light
Running on [C7]the ground dream of leaving on [C7]a flight
Inner be [Am]the enemy
Friend or a foe
A sinner not a sin to [C7]me
Bout to [C7]lose contɾol (Oo)
Bout to [C7]lose contɾol
Fighting for [Dm7]my [A]soul
Fight to [C7]keep a hold
Angel on [C7]my [A]shoulder
But where did she go
Where did she go
