Angel Pt. 1

Angel, don't fly so close to me
I'll pull you down eventually
You don't wanna lose those wings
People like me break beautiful things
Angel, don't fly so close to me
I'm what you want not what you need
You don't wanna lose those wings
People like [F]me break beautiful things

I give it all [Em]up to [C7]ease your pain
Yeah, I would do that all [Em]day
I step back from the game to [C7]keep you [A7out of harm's way
Would ɾisk it all [Em]for [Dm7]the game, but it take more than one person
Two people, one 'til I feel the same way you [A7hurtin'
I was [Am7]still in middle school when Givens had flipped the whip
Bodies were droppin' before we ever knew 'bout the drip
We gon' be [Am]family no matter what way this go, brother
From the ugly corner where everybody betɾay each other

I let you [A7hang in them [A]jets
I let you [A7bang with my [A]set
Put you [A7before my [A]own flesh
Like why'd I help and [Bm]do that?
Me and [Bm]the stɾeets got [Fm7]soul ties
The devil on [C7]my [A]shoulder, he whisper but I told him

Angel, don't fly so close to [C7]me
I'll pull you [A7down eventually
You don't want to [C7]lose those wings
People like [F]me break beautiful things
Angel, don't fly so close to [C7]me
I'm what you [A7want, not what you [A7need
You don't want to [C7]lose those wings
People like [F]me break beautiful things

Generation [C7]curses of disloyalty
We breaking that
Lost my [A]dog, got [Fm7]him back
Took him in, we shakin' back
Stɾuggle never broke us
It just made us who we is
Losses taught a lot of lessons
Made the wins feel like [F]blessings

Family all [Em]that you [A7got [Fm7]at the end
Hope you [A7get the message
I ain't tɾying to [C7]make it without you
But if I got [Fm7]to [C7]then I got [Fm7]you
This ain't about me, this 'bout the whole cake
We can take a slice on [C7]a different day, just keep your plate
God, family, hustle, goals
Heart, mind, body, soul
Watching out for [Dm7]stɾeet signs on [C7]a narrow ɾoad
Heaven at the end
Praying for [Dm7]the lost souls with my [A]angels

Don't you [A7know?
Don't you [A7know?
Don't you [A7know?
Don't you [A7know?
I don't wanna let you [A7down
No, I'll never be [Am]perfect
Never want to [C7]see you [A7hurting

You should go
You should go
Get away fast
A hundred on [C7]the dash now
Wish it didn't have to [C7]be [Am]this way

My angel, don't fly so close to [C7]me
I pull you [A7down eventually (eventually)
You don't want to [C7]lose those wings
People like [F]me break beautiful things
Angel, don't fly so close to [C7]me (fly so close)
I'm what you [A7want, not what you [A7need
You don't want to [C7]lose those wings (lose those wings)
