Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am][G][C]
[F]Oh,[Am] oh,
[G]mmm[C][F]
How am I [Am]free when you
hold me [G]so tight?
How can I beam [C]when
you blockin' [F]my light?
I cannot [Am]be what you want me
What you [G]want me,
what you want [C]me to be[F]
How can I [Am]see

[Verse 2]
when you cover my [G]eyes?
And can I just [C]sleep when
I'm so fuck[F]in' tired?
So tell me right [Am]now
what you want me
What you [G]want me, what
you want [C]me to be
[F](What you want me to be)
Yeah, ooh [Am]What you wanna do is

[Verse 3]
[G]
tell me off, no
[C]What you wanna do [F]is fuck me up, ooh
[Am]What you're not gon'
do is [G]top me off
So ex[C]cuse me for an hour
[F]while I love myself
[G]You [Am]told me
[G]You'd protect my
heart, you'd [C]be my goalie
[F]Thinkin' 'bout that bullshit
that you [Am]sold me
And I [G]know that I ain't perfect
But you [C]so mean, [F]we were homies
You [Am]trip me up just to [G]watch me fall
Smoke another a [C]ci garette,
[F]wash the last one down
So [Am]down, down,
'til I'm [G]flat on my face
You're the [C]reason why I get [F]so high

[Verse 4]
How am I [Am]free when you
hold me [G]so tight?
How can I [C]beam when you
blockin' [F]my light?
I cannot [Am]be what you want me
What you [G]want me,
what you want me [C]to be[F]
How can [Am]I see when you

[Verse 5]
cover my eye[G]s?
And can I just [C]sleep when
I'm so fuck[F]in' tired?
So tell me right [Am]now
what you want me
What you [G]want me, what
you want [C]me to be[F]

[Verse 6]
[G]Got a cus[Am]tom diamond ring and, no,
he don't got [G]a wife
Got a [C]large amount of things,
[F]I can't total the price
I [Am]told her I don't need
her, she can [G]leave out my life
You [C]only get one try, but [F]if
it's lit, we go twice
[Am]I pull up in a har[G]d top,
it's a drop- [C]top
Told you [F]we'd be multimillionaires,
why [Am]lie?
She know I do not [G]care for no
pressin' my [C]mind
The factory [F]Skeleton on my
wrist say prime- [Am]time
How couldn't you just [G]let me
be me?
You startin' to be [C]measly
I [F]couldn't even find
out 'cause you leavin' me
[Am]You can tell I'm pure, you
can feel my [G]energy
Really rich, we [C]ain't livin' free
Gotta [F]keep it solid and we all agree

[Verse 7]
How am I [Am]free when you
hold [G]me so tight?
How can I [C]beam when you
blockin' [F]my light?
I cannot [Am]be what you want me
What you [G]want me,
what you want [C]me to be[F]
How can [Am]I see when you cover

[Verse 8]
my [G]eyes?
And can I just [C]sleep when
I'm so fuck[F]in' tired?
So tell me right [Am]now
what you want me
What you [G]want me, what you want
me to be
[C][F][G][Am][G]

[Verse 9]
[C]Oh, [F]ah-[Am] ah- [G]ah
[C][F]
