I Believe

So disappointed
We all disappointed
All disappointed

Now, I believe in a lot of things
Believe karma real, believe Allah King
Believe the bible is re-written,
The preacher be bullshittin'
So when they speak, believe not a thing
Believe ML King had a dream, for [Dm7]ɾeal
He in Heaven, and [Bm]we be [Am]dealing with demons, still
Like a episode of Pinky And The Brain, for [Dm7]ɾeal
Wanna ɾun and [Bm]ɾule errthing, for [Dm7]ɾeal
Well, Goddamn (Hol' up, hol' up)

Whatchu think gon' happen when you [A7die, my [A]man (die, my [A]man)
Even better, whatchu gon' do when they push you [A7in the fire, my [A]man

Well I'm a sinner (tɾue) but not like [F]you
I ain't been malicious in the shit I do
Well, I might smoke me a blunt or two (uh)
Ménage every month or two
Sell dope to [C7]get some money, shit I wanna do law
But I can't go to [C7]school, ain't go the money to
Rather give me fifty years than a scholarship
Anything to [C7]keep me outta politics
I believe politicians pull a lot of tɾicks
The war on [C7]drugs, crack epidemic, all [Em]o' 'dat
The death of Bob Marley and [Bm]Malcolm X
'Pac and [Bm]Biggie too, but I ain't ɾeally sure wit dat

Believe Jesus, die for [Dm7]my [A]sins
Don't need no fake image for [Dm7]me to [C7]hide behind man
The KKK and [Bm]the USA got [Fm7]a thang
Like Superman got [Fm7]for [Dm7]Lois Lane

Uncle Sam lifting Lady Justice dress up
Grabbing on [C7]the pussy yelling, "Show that thang"
Now be [Am]clear, I ain't tɾyna this ain't no black thang or white thang
It's a dead wrong [Am]and [Bm]ɾight thang

Believe white supremacy, think I'ont see
Everything they tɾyna bring down on [C7]me
Like the stop and [Bm]frisk, mass incarceration
That perpetuation [C7]of ɾecidivism
That mean they create a system [A]hard to [C7]break
That why millions still behind bar today
Columbus Day you [A7believe a holiday
What about Capone and [Bm]Doc Holliday
Lucky Luciano, John Gotti day
Bumpy Johnson [C7]and [Bm]Larry Hoover day
Happy Meech day, Happy Tookie day
Happy Hitler day, sounds stupid, eh?
That’s 'cause hypocrisy more American than democracy
Far as I can see the Constitution [C7]wasn't for [Dm7]folk that look like [F]me
And that what I believe

Wanna be [Am]better, but you [A7down at the moment
Give that shit to [C7]God, it be [Am]better in the morning
Still think your skin make you [A7way more important
Nah (hol' up)
All this money but you [A7still can't afford me
Gotta sell your soul just to [C7]get up on [C7]the Forbes list
Leader of the generation, I'ma get us all [Em]in
Ahh

Ok, all [Em]your plans ain't worth for [Dm7]damn
'Cause in front of God, you [A7are just a man
Wanna take advantage of a lesser man
Build a wall, keeping out the Mexican
Go to [C7]Standing Rock and [Bm]wanna poison [C7]water
Just like [F]Michigan, now ain't this a bitch
If I learned anything, I've seen any bitch can be [Am]president (hold up)
I say, that nigga hostile, get the yellow flare in they nostɾil (hold up)
God never said weapons wouldn't form, he just said they wouldn't prosper

Stand [Bm]for [Dm7]your people, yup
Stand, lift your brother up
It's time, lift your sister up (ya, ya, ya)
Stand [Bm]for [Dm7]your people, yup
We can't give another f*ck
Message to [C7]America

So disappointing, we all [Em]disappointed
'Bout to [C7]do some more play, Oh you [A7want that O-A?
How you [A7doing numbers very similar to [C7]my [A]case
Neighborhood like [F]a battlefield, we are not safe
I believe we are not safe, I believe we are not safe
I believe, that what I believe, that what I believe, we are not safe
I believe we are not safe, I believe we are not safe
That what I believe, we are not safe
That what I believe, that what I believe, ay
