[Intro 1]
[Am]
[G][Am][G][Asus4][Am]
[Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 1]
How much [Am]longer do I have to suffer?
'Cause I can recall [Dm]being told that it would get greater
[Em]later but it keeps on [G]gettin' [Am]rougher
Dealin' with devilish dudes
on a day- to- day basis
But if a nigga don't deal with 'em, how ever the
fuck am I to make some cranking faces?

[Verse 2]
I gotta do what I gotta do to [Am]maintain
[Dm]I'm gettin' sued,
about to do some time
Plus my whole fam[Em]ily left
me cause I'm in[Am]sane
Pain, Mary Jane ain't even
relaxin' [Dm]the strain

[Verse 3]
Sometime I [Dm]think about blowin'
out my motherfuckin' [Em]brain
After the rain [Am]it ain't no sun,
at least not where I come from
Every [G]day be gloomy and [Dm]grey
Still I try to hold my head up but
I'm so fed up

[Verse 4]
[Em]Everything I'm in love with is a [Am]weight
Guess I'm back on my own again
Gotta get used to bein' at home alone
Nigga, no water, no light, no phone
I'm sittin' all day dreamin'
about bein' gone

[Verse 5]
Young nigga keep [Am]your eyes on da prize
If you focus on your goals you just
might reach 'em before you die
Take your pressures and your pains
and just let go and let God
Maybe he can kick it wit' you
when the time get hard

[Verse 6]
You know, [G]I wouldn't t[Am]ell you
nothin' that would hurt ya
Just tryin' to give some game so
you won't run into a murder
So take your [G]pressures [Am]and your pains
and just let go and let God
[Asus4]Maybe he can kic[Am]k it wit' ya when
the [Asus4]times get[Am] hard

[Verse 7]
[Am]Everyday is a constant grind,
a nigga don't [G]never be gettin' no [Dm]rest
24 7 about
my fede and if it's ne
[Em]cessary [G]a block get swept
Z- [Am]RO is a neat freak,
and there's to many moutherfuckin' dirty rats in this game
I'm all about my furtone, I wouldn't
give a fuck about da fame
But everyone keep on
yellin' out my name

[Verse 8]
I'm [Am]a drug addict, just tryin' to hold on to my sanity,
losin' my [Dm]grip
Smokin' on dose wit' da weed and da Codeine,
[Em]so fucked up I can't understand sh[Am]it
All I know is I got my motherfuckin'
pistol to pro[Dm]tect me
'Cause on a constant basis
fools be tryin' [Em]to wet me
Even still I [Am]turn to

[Verse 9]
da Bible and I'm hopin' in
da righteous [G]path [Em]could dir[Dm]ect me
Before strays fuck around and do [Em]more than graze,
and dis[Am]sect me
I'm livin' this thug life and I
can't make it no clearer
Unlike these feminine fellas,
dat practice mean muggin' in the mirror

[Verse 10]
You ain't no [Am]gangsta, nigga, you a bitch,
but [G]Z- RO be out on da [Dm]block
Lookin' for Luda lil' jewelries, livin wit'
lavish [Em]habits 'til I get it can't [Am]stop
I'ma be on my own, my friend,
tryin' to deal wit' life
So I'ma handle my business
to be a big man
Motherfuck crackin' up, I gotta keep
my mind straight to get paid
Bitch, I gotta get a grip

[Verse 11]
Young nigga keep [Am]your eyes on da prize
If you focus on your goals you just
might reach 'em before you die
Take your [G]pressures and your [Am]pains
and just let go and let God
Maybe he can kick it wit' you
when the time get hard

[Verse 12]
You know, [G]I wouldn't t[Am]ell you
nothin' that would hurt ya
Just tryin' to give some game so
you won't run into a murder
So take your [G]pressures [Am]and your pains
and just let go and let God
[Asus4]Maybe he can kic[Am]k it wit' ya
[Asus4]when the time get [Am]hard

[Verse 13]
[Am]Lately [Dm]I've been thinkin'
[Am]While I'm smokin' and I'm drinkin'
[Asus4]Why do I [Am]go through ev[G]eryt[Am]hing
a [Dm]person can go [Am]through?
And lately [Dm]I've been hurtin'
'Cause I'm [Am]smothered
by [A]my [Am]bur dens

[Verse 14]
There ain't [Am]nothing I can [Dm]do except
let go and let you [Em]do what you d[Am]o
Let me touch da hem [Em]of y[Dm]our garmet
'Cause I [Em]promise, my [Am]life is a target
And I don't know which way to go
Unless I'm on my way to the weed
house or the liquor store

[Verse 15]
Young nigga keep [Am]your eyes on da prize
If you focus on your goals you just
might reach 'em before you die
Take your [G]pressures and your [Am]pains
and just let go and let God
Maybe he can kick it wit' you
when the time get hard

[Verse 16]
You know, [G]I wouldn't t[Am]ell you
nothin' that would hurt ya
Just [G]tryin' to [Am]give some game so
you won't run into a murder
So take your [G]pressures and your [Am]pains
and just let go and let God
[Asus4]Maybe he can kic[Am]k it wit' ya when the
time get [Asus4]hard
