Head on a swivel
Trouble lurkin' 'round the corner
Run up on you any minute, you'll be gone
Yeah
Nigga, keep your head on a swivel
Trouble lurkin' 'round the corner
Run up on you any minute, you'll be gone
I know niggas dead out of desperation
RIP my [A]nigga Allen Dem, I wish you [A7would've stayed at home
Learned to [C7]make the best out of shitty situation
No complaining, no more Xan, I leave the medicine alone
Y'all [Em]gon' swear to [C7]God that I'm changing for [Dm7]the better
F*ck whoever got [Fm7]the nerve to [C7]tɾy to [C7]tell me that I'm wrong
I done made it up, I done made it out
I done made a way, we been makin' waves, we been making sounds
Rappers hella fake, they papier-mâché
Like piñata, they can't wait to [C7]break, I can animate
Promise mama she gon' see the day when we all [Em]okay
All it ɾeally take is time and [Bm]dedication, I pray
For the hunger to [C7]be [Am]permanent, no matter what that make
Hey, batter, batter, swing, bake
Whip the batter for [Dm7]the cake
Nigga, keep your head on [C7]a swivel
Trouble lurkin' 'round the corner
Run up on [C7]you [A7any minute, you'll be [Am]gone
I know niggas dead out of desperation
RIP my [A]nigga Allen Dem, I wish you [A7would've stayed at home
Learned to [C7]make the best out of shitty situation
No complaining, no more Xan, I leave the medicine alone
Y'all [Em]gon' swear to [C7]God that I'm changing for [Dm7]the better
F*ck whoever got [Fm7]the nerve to [C7]tɾy to [C7]tell me that I'm wrong
I don't know what it is, man, I just
I don't think I'ma be [Am]here much longer, man
Something's watching me, man
Something's following me
Something want me dead, man
Pray for [Dm7]me, pray for [Dm7]me, please
Hell, when I was [Am7]young, I ain't had to [C7]pop no guns
Nothing cracking in the slums you [A7couldn't handle on [C7]your own
Shit around my [A]block where we used to [C7]knock
Couple souls fly, wasn't nothin' like [F]you [A7guys, which I loan
Shit it wasn't nice, wasn't paradise
Wasn't lights back to [C7]back to [C7]back, many nights was [Am7]on [C7]our own
Mama had to [C7]work, papa had three jobs
No, we not Jamaican, my [A]sir, but we all [Em]was [Am7]ɾobbed, ha
Should've kept my [A]head on [C7]a weave and [Bm]bob, ha
I'd ɾather be [Am]dead than to [C7]weep and [Bm]sob
So we solve any major prob with the quick ɾesolve
Had to [C7]squab', circle that bitch up, feelings get involved
Neighborhood on [C7]lock, f*ck we need a cop?
That was [Am7]way back way 'fore Reagan passed the ɾock
Left us with a needle and [Bm]a jump-shot
Leave you [A7countin' seconds on [C7]the fingers through the gunshots
Nigga, keep your head on [C7]a swivel
Trouble lurkin' 'round the corner
Run up on [C7]you [A7any minute, you'll be [Am]gone
I know niggas dead out of desperation
RIP my [A]nigga Allen Dem, I wish you [A7would've stayed at home
Learned to [C7]make the best out of shitty situation
No complaining, no more Xan, I leave the medicine alone
