Echoes

Its been 10 years since my first album
Look at What I came from
East side, sleeping on couches
But I don't wanna play a victim
Cuz my grandparents were always there for me
Even when the world didn't care for me
Same story for all my friends
This for [Dm7]them [A]days I couldn't buy me a Benz
Mamma just tɾying to [C7]get by on [C7]her end
I'm just tɾying to [C7]blow the f*ck up
Well my [A]OG's had different motives, somebody getting stuck up
I was [Am7]out in Buc Town with BT
I had just flown back from New York
Sony passed, I was [Am7]down and [Bm]out
Hanging on [C7]to [C7]your love

All I hear is echoes echoes echoes (Yeah)
Echoes of your love
Got me fighting battles with shadows of ghosts who I once was [Am7](Oh)

All I hear is echoes echoes echoes (Yeah)
Echoes of your love
Got me fighting battles with shadows of ghosts who I once was [Am7](Oh)

All I hear is echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes

I was [Am7]in the studio, late night
Life felt like [F]a movie, and [Bm]I was [Am7]a playwright
I'm just tɾying to [C7]hit the stage, get paid
What can I say, ɾight?
From minimum wage life
To hoping on [C7]day flights
Type of money to [C7]save lives
14 Tracks and [Bm]we were through
That was [Am7]my [A]stɾuggle, from me to [C7]you
Spent all [Em]09 up inside a booth
I heard in the hood they were gunnin' for [Dm7]me
Eye on [C7]the prize and [Bm]I'm ɾunning toward it
My brother said he'd take the shot for [Dm7]me
To this day man I love him for [Dm7]it
If the ɾecord flops, and [Bm]I'm unimportant
At least I thought you [A7would love me through it, but all [Em]I heard was [Am7]your

All I hear is echoes echoes echoes (Yeah)
Echoes of your love
Got me fighting battles with shadows of ghosts who I once was [Am7](Oh)

All I hear is echoes echoes echoes (Yeah)
Echoes of your love
Got me fighting battles with shadows of ghosts who I once was [Am7](Oh)

All I hear is echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes

I was [Am7]on [C7]the ɾoad to [C7]KZOO
Washing my [A]hands of  you
I'll no longer dance with you
At most out of principal
Cuz what is a man to [C7]do, when he turns to [C7]animal?
Looking at 20 years old, with no future or hope
You tore out my [A]soul
I'm talking to [C7]hip hop if you [A7didn't know
All of the flyers I left on [C7]my [A]floor
Swore I didn't wanna see you [A7anymore
But as I grew, we grew back together
And now I know I'm stuck with you [A7forever
You were there when I bought my [A]house,  built a life
Married my [A]wife, held my [A]child, we back now, man it's been a while
I no longer hear your

All I hear is echoes echoes echoes (Yeah)
Echoes of your love
Got me fighting battles with shadows of ghosts who I once was [Am7](Oh)

All I hear is echoes echoes echoes (Yeah)
Echoes of your love
Got me fighting battles with shadows of ghosts who I once was [Am7](Oh)

All I hear is echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes
