[Verse 1]
[C5]I'm[G5][Bb5][C5]
[Bb5][G5][F][Bb5][C][C5][Bb5]
[A5][F][C5]
[A5][G5][C][C5]
[G5][A5]
[G5][C5][G5]
from the land of them straight razor [Db]face beard niggas
[C5]With hammers on their waist,
yeah, [B]waste rare niggas
And I [Bb]race scared niggas,
them [C5]snake head niggas
That [A5]take care of niggas who don't
[Bb]break bread with us
Niggas [G5]make dead [A5]niggas
and [G5]hate black niggas
Brown [F]niggas high yellow
niggas and them red niggas
No [F#]telling when the bullet coming,
[F#5]be prepared [G5]niggas
Cause when it do it [F#5]coming land,
[G5]sea and air niggas
That's everywhere niggas,
[Db]Am I the motherfucking legendary?
[C5]Yeah niggas, make it very [B]clear niggas
Been [Bb]looking at y'all in my rear[C5]view
Mirror niggas want to [A5]be a millionaire,
[Bb]I'm already there niggas
[G5]I'm the definiere nigga,
a bear taking more than my share
Lookee here, yeah,
I know it ain't fair nigga
Neither is a bar even with a
hair trigger
[F]Haystack, [G]try and find a [G5]needle
up in there nigga
Leave you up in there nigga,
[Db]show me the puppet
That [C]don't need a puppeteer nigga,
[B]shed another tear nigga
[Bb5]I'm in the field [Bb]with a[A5] shield
and a spear nigga
I'm in your [Bb]girl with her
heels in the air nigga
[G5]I am such a fair [F]nigga,
you in a battle telling
Me you not ready like you figured
I'ma bear with you
I don't care nigga,
you now listening to the [F#]sounds
Of the money making jam
[G5]trillionaires nigga
Gentlemen of an ex[Db]traordinary league
You [C5]never see me [C]blowing on
[B]no ordinary weed
What I'm [Bb]smoking ain't a product
of no [C]ordinary seed
Your boy is heavy [A5]treed, I'm [C]feeling merry
[A5]As a Tyler P[G5]erry scene,
that mon[G]etary gang [F]green
We tried to launder the cash
and never came clean
So now I'm in the story with
all the cats be[A5]fore me
[F]And smoke purgatory for doing
the same [G5]thing
And them niggas ain't change,
them [Db]niggas can't change
[C5]Their moms shake their [C]heads
saying it's such a dang [A5]shame
The [Bb]train to the buck,
did an[C]other dang plan
My stage and my [A5]government
[C]ain't the same [A5]name
I'm a [G5]rock star,
love it that my [F]wallet chain hang
I'm a [A5]modern day saint,
I'm a modern day [F]kane
My definition I can finally explain
Cold smooth like [F#]that dude Sean
[A5]Connery was [G5]playing
I just got to be the man,
I'm the [Db]father figure and
When I [C5]spit it's something
[C]like a psycho[B]logy exam
If you [Bb]stand where I stood,
you could [C]probably understand
How that [A5]mic feeling like
a million [Bb]dollars in my hand
It's the [G5]si lence of the lamb,
go and cop another gram
[F#]And twist with [F]your zanny, work your [G5]set,
work [A5]it down
What's [F]your net working [G5]plan?
You better look [F]alive
Cuz [F#]them niggas out[G5]side looking
desperate again nigga
And the blunts and liquor
[Db]killing our lungs and liver
[C]The asthmatic drug [B]addict I function with it
[Bb]I put a rapper in a hole[C]
where the dust will sit
[A5]For spitting played out [Bb]patterns
that once was hitting
[Gm]I got news for you all[G5],
let me show you how to ball
See the [F#]le gendary f[F]all? I
ain't [G]heard of that
[G5]Y'all niggas [F#]is off the
[G5]wall like Aresnio Hall
[Gb]I'ma put you right back
where the dirt is at
450 Fahren[Db]heit on the [C]thermostat
Somebody starving like a
[Cb]white girl runnin' that
[Bb]But she not a earner yet,
[C]she couldn't put in no work,
[A5]Not earning that[Bb],
the black microphone [Gm]murder vet
[G5]I'm in a class of my own,[F]
[Gb]If I got beef [F]with you, you the
last one to know
I arrive on time, I'm never fashionable
You late, I'm already international- [A5]able
I done [G5]toured to Berlin, [Db]banged in Beijing
You [C]never seen nothing can't
[Cb]say the same thing
Tell some[Bb]body Black Thought,
yeah you [C]know the name ring
So give [A5]him the game ring for bringing
what them [Bb]niggas can't [G5]bring
My hustle is long, my muscle [F]is strong
My man put the paper in the
duffel I'm gone
Y'all still a light year from
the level I'm [F]on
Just a pawn stepping right
into the [G5]head of the storm
You been warned,
I will blow y'all niggas [C]and disintegrate
I'm a [Bb]rebel, renegade [A5]must stay paid
