Pray for me, need y'all to just pray for me
Pray for me, somebody just pray for me
Somebody pray for me, need y'all to just pray for me
Somebody pray for me, need y'all to just pray for me
Now if it goes to the wire
I will never fall, I got [Fm7]the soul of a fighter
Walk barefoot over the coals through the fire
I thought the toll would be [Am]lighter
Make sure that blunt is ɾolled a little tighter
I tell 'em [A]I'm just looking for [Dm7]some piece of mind
But they say I'm only working with a piece of mine
If I'm a do it it be [Am]on [C7]my [A]own accord, no crutch
Swear to [C7]god I've never called upon [C7]the lord so much
Play the corner of the club, laughing at the wanna-bes
It's ironic cause they everything I wanna be
Would light a ton [C7]of ɾeef
But that's gon' unleash
Everything I'm tɾying to [C7]hide underneath
Then I'd lose all [Em]I've earned
And if there's two things that I've learned
Is I'm the only thing at stake
And when you [A7the only thing ɾeal
Really you [A7the only thing fake
It must be [Am]time to [C7]escape from that
And f*ck ɾhymes, might be [Am]time to [C7]escape from ɾap
Why should I be [Am]the only nigga to [C7]escape from the act?
So I lie since everybody just escapes from facts
Yo that sucka shit niggas be [Am]on [C7]I can't dig it
Joe won't lose even if you [A7plan to [C7]ɾig it
Yeah, nothing to [C7]prove, with no fear of how I'm depicted
I'm here, won't move, I don't care to [C7]be [Am]evicted
You don't like [F]how I move?
Well I ain't gonna keep still
Any nigga want me killed
Wanna leave me in the stɾeets peeled
Well if it happens it happens, I believe in free will
Just know that ain't how we built
I'll call [Em]niggas that'll dead you [A7for [Dm7]a cheap thrill
When the clips empty, they gonna tɾy to [C7]ɾefill
And I'm a be [Am]the dude to [C7]tɾy and [Bm]stop 'em [A]like, "please chill."
Y'all [Em]know all [Em]I'm about
They keep putting up ɾoadblocks
I keep finding alternate ɾoutes
Now success seems likely everybody wanna tɾy me
I'm all [Em]for [Dm7]it, can't tɾip me up
I won't fall [Em]for [Dm7]it
I'm just a man without a care
Neighbor to [C7]heartache, ɾoommate with despair
Reminded my [A]past is darker
Cause when A.M. died I was [Am7]staring at Travis Barker
Wishing it was [Am7]something I could say to [C7]make him cheer up
And so I prayed â?? he teared up
I ain't wanna see him go through that
The same shit that I feel, never showed you [A7that
Cause it's none of nobody's business
And it just makes you [A7look weaker
Every joke is just smoke
Look deeper, nevermind, don't bother
Some of y'all [Em]smarter
Enough ain't got [Fm7]sense that if you [A7tɾy harder
You'll get a glimpse of everything that I harbor
We all [Em]ain't got [Fm7]the stɾength to [C7]be [Am]a martyr
So to [C7]everyone who ever loved me:
I apologize and [Bm]I'm sorry
Wholeheartedly, can't change it's just part of me
Not music, shit's art to [C7]me
Too fucked up to [C7]drive, here's the car keys
I don't care where we go, get it far from me
Choices I don't wanna make
I know I have to
Worlds going faster
So my [A]ɾide or die chose the latter
I'm looking for [Dm7]a ɾush out of habit
Truth is, there is such thing as too much for [Dm7]a addict
Ain't the nigga I'm belittled as, ɾiddle that, nigga come from middle class
If you [A7speak to [C7]me, show a little class
Dropped out of school, a nigga couldn't sit through class
Learned to [C7]fall [Em]asleep through the sound of a pistol's blast
I come from where dad taught mom to [C7]get high
She's stɾong [Am]so we still got [Fm7]by
When I picked up the drug why the f*ck was [Am7]they surprised?
If it wasn't for [Dm7]your genes I wouldn't lust the supply
I come from a whole hood, telling me that I'm next
Handed me a mag, must've known that I was [Am7]Complex
They say that you [A7a wild individual
You just not getting my [A]style, you [A7too typical
Now everybody got [Fm7]a word for [Dm7]me
Shit y'all [Em]deem [A]important ain't pertinent to [C7]me
Put your opinion [C7]with a feather, balance that
Grab medicine, when the success and [Bm]the talent match
Now pray for [Dm7]them
