Once upon a time there was a little boy
Whose daddy took him on a picnic
As the ketchup spread across the Wonder Bread
On a green sea of mayonnaise faces
A chocolate man with a Nerds rope around his neck
Rose high in the cotton candy blue sky
Swinging and [Bm]swinging like [F]a piñata
Until his body snapped and [Bm]gold coins
Came falling out for [Dm7]everyone around
And the crowd ɾoars
Nightmare on [C7]my [A]block and [Bm]your block, my [A]nigga
Three hundred murders, no O-Block, my [A]nigga
Junkies find work at the dope spot, my [A]nigga
They gave our jobs to [C7]the ɾobots, my [A]nigga
Candyman 1993, the projects is Halloween
Hand [Bm]and [Bm]hand [Bm]slanging cocaina cut with the kerosene
You couldn't make up the shit we seen if you [A7had Maybelline
Pray for [Dm7]me, faithfully you [A7can't save me with Mary Magdalene
Abandoned family homes pure insanity zones
Where mortal enemies ɾoam, block from the president's ɾesidents
Where your head will get blown like [F]John F Kennedy's Dome
Ain't no tellin' bailin' from 12 like [F]Emory Jones
Raise ɾebellion [C7]ɾeady to [C7]kill like [F]fentanyl pills
Evil medicine seals with evil peasants on [C7]section [C7]8
Can't pay ɾent so they steal, everything's for [Dm7]sale
Everything's a drill, the American dream where everything is ɾeal
Death has no ɾeligion
Neechie tells me God is dead
But I see God in the mirror
Is it all [Em]just in my [A]head?
Is it all [Em]just in my-
When I close my [A]eyes I see crosses and [Bm]burning coffins
We just playing defense, niggas is tɾying to [C7]off us
My mind exhausted like [F]options, my [A]stock is a field, nigga
Grave digger Uncle Tom niggas, I bring the ɾuckus
Ring the alarm, the heat is on [C7]with ninas drawn
We bear arms, when it comes to [C7]smoke I'm Cheech and [Bm]Chong
Think I won't exercise my [A]ɾight, you [A7dead wrong
The spirit of the Panthers in the jungle versus Shere Khan
Death has no ɾeligion
Neechie tells me God is dead
But I see God in the mirror
Is it all [Em]just in my-
White horse on [C7]a jet black sky
That's a motherfucking nightmare
And as hard as I just might tɾy
I just can't die 'cause
I see God in the mirror
When you [A7say my [A]name and [Bm]it makes me high
Say my [A]name and [Bm]it makes me high
When you [A7say my [A]name and [Bm]it makes me high
When you [A7say my [A]name and [Bm]it makes me high
