Bedtime Story Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Amar, Amar, c'mon
(Yeah Dad, what?)
Hope you did your homework
already
(I did that already,
c'mon Dad)
Nah, it's time to go to
(C'mon listen)
What happened?
(I was [Em]at sc[C]hool today I said AZ[Em]'s my daddy,
they [C]said, "Jay- Z? [Em]Nas?")
What, what?
(Tell me the [C]story again?)
Okay, okay
Aight, this is how it went down,
[Em]here we go

[Verse 2]
We talk[Bb]in' a few years before
you even ap[Dm]peared
I was in[C]to my little gear
Yeah, weed [D]and my beer
Hustlin' out of [Dm]fear,
fear of [C]bein' a square
Like them cowards with no gear
They just [D#]breathin' [Bb]the air
Son, [C]clear, but didn't [Dm]realize
[Gm]life ain't [C]fair
With one drive- by,
it could end your life right there
[D]Though I'm a fly guy, from then,
tied my [Gm]Nikes, like [C]chea
Fuck the world we can fight right here,
I don't scare
From [Bb]beer, [Dm]no more n[C]ightmares here,
not a tear
I was straighter than the white
man's hair
Met Nas[D]ir, had that [C]hype that year
Like a kite, threw me a mic
I took flight right there, chea
[D]Rap wise I was nic[C]e I swear
Went fool with the jewels, even iced my ears
[D]New school, I was coo[Dm]l,
wore [C]righteous wears
[Bb]But from the door [Dm]they didn't like that [C]there,
I ain't care
As long as I left the china white right there
And understood that you could change
a life through prayer
But it's all [D]good,
police even po[C]litely stared
It was unreal,
but still now it feels slightly weird
I was [D]spared, gave love,
[C]taught my peers
Though it was rough, never gave up,
fought my fears
Now it's [D]like "what?"
I'm G'ed up, [C]awesome glare
[D]Entertai[C]ner from the streets
with a sportsman's flair

[Verse 3]
There, that's good enough [Em]for you?
(Dad, Dad,
[C]what's "G'ed up?")
Listen man, don't worry about that now,
just go to sleep
[Em](Okay, okay)
I'll tell you that later [Am]on bu[C]t you
know what?
(What, what what?)
I got one more quick story to
tell you
[Em](Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Maybe you could take [C]this story,
and tell your friends at school this one:
Here we [Em]go! [C]Out

[Verse 4]
the gate,
he [Bb]who hate [C]himself ain't straight
He [D]a snake,
he the type who send himself upstate
[D]Catch a case for a plate
He [C]ain't have to take, he coulda
Played it safe, said his [D]grace and [C]ate
But it's fate,
when a [D]person makes [Dm]certain mistakes
[C]What a waste, how the world
