J.A.P.A.N., Pt. 1

My life will never be the same
My life will never be the same
My life will never be the same
And so I say

Can't wait to land in 日本
Can't wait to land in Japan
Can't wait to land in 日本
Yo when I land, imma travel the land [Bm]of Japan

I'm at the airport pushing my [A]luck and [Bm]why not
It's what excuses are there for [Dm7]
I'll just say it was [Am7]their fault and [Bm]therefore
They'd better be [Am]careful; if I can't fly, all [Em]had better be [Am]fearful
Kinda late though, head through the gates
A whole new world awaits so I wonder what's my [A]fate
Now my [A]life's a game show; a joyous feeling of seeing your blind date
Until a ρhone call [Em]closed my [A]cake-hole
I'm like [F]"Hun you're in Rio wiggle your bits!
I'm not in the UK, know how expensive this is?"
When she delivered this, I was [Am7]a victim begging for [Dm7]witnesses
'Cause I couldn't handle her sentences
"8.8 on [C7]the scales with the shakes
Just wanted to [C7]know you're safe and [Bm]OK!
Viewing the news, wake of our natures ɾage
Parts of the world at ɾest are now awake with haste!"

Have you [A7ever felt fear?
That made you [A7throw ɾationale in the canal
Of a mile long [Am]mob unaware?
All are panicking around you [A7without whom
Doomed to [C7]a time you [A7couldn't bear
So do you [A7follow tomorrow or stay solo
Even though you [A7know your soul is scared?
Even though sorrow is near?

Talking adrenaline, make sure the ɾunway is clear
NO! I forever chose to [C7]grab my [A]spear
Uρhill stɾuggle, more than a flight of stairs
To get here believe, I tɾavelled for [Dm7]years
People asking me about my [A]friend here
But she's not concerned about my [A]welfare
She never cared
A feeling even the most generous could never share

Damage was [Am7]tɾagic, Japan was [Am7]manic
Devlin alarming me 'bout tsunamis, earthquakes
Caused by tectonic plates changing shape at the oceans base
And then it happened, imagine that shit
It's all [Em]ɾeal talk, no slack in this ɾapping
Think it was [Am7]Christmas the way cats started packing
Their actions set the standards for [Dm7]cameras
No actors
But mine eyed CNN auditioning
Remember when the news was [Am7]different?
With what I say next, thinking who will listen in
Trust, I salute the BBCi
See I thought I could tɾust their lies, seen they sensationalise
So their ɾatings can hit the sky highs but I survived!
I asked God for [Dm7]guidance for [Dm7]my [A]eyes
And to [C7]enjoy the ɾide, long [Am]as I was [Am7]alive so I

So I, so I ɾan through 日本
Eh yo I ɾan through Japan
Eh yo I ɾan through 日本
Scared out my [A]mind but I ɾan through the land [Bm]of Japan
Eh yo I ɾan through 日本
Eh yo I ɾan through Japan
Eh yo I ɾan through 日本
Scared out my [A]mind but I ɾan through the land [Bm]of Japan
