I Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]This[Dm] is a[Am] world premiere[Dm]
This is a world [Am]premiere
I done been through a whole lot
[Dm]Trial, tribulation, but I know God
Sa[Am]tan wanna put me in a bow tie
[Dm]Pray that the holy water
don't go dry, yeah, yeah
[Am]As I look around me
[Dm]So many motherfuckers wanna down me
But an ene[Am]migo never drown me
In front of a dirt[Dm]y double-mirror
they found me

[Chorus 1]
And I love my[Am]self
(The world is a ghetto
[Dm]with big guns and picket signs)
I love my[Am]self
(But it can do what it want,
[Dm]whenever it want, I don't mind)
I love my[Am]self
(He said I gotta get up,
[Dm]life is more than suicide
I love [Am]my, self
(One day at a [Dm]time, sun gon' shine)

[Verse 1]
Everybody lookin' [Am]at you crazy (Crazy)
What you gon' [Dm]do? (What you gon' do?)
Lift up your [Am]head and keep moving
(Keep moving)
Or [Dm]let the paranoia haunt you? (Haunt you)
Peace to fashion [Am]police, I wear my heart
On [Dm]my sleeve, let the runway start
You know the [Am]miserable do love company
What do [Dm]you want from me and my scars?
Everybody lack [F]confidence,
everybody lack confidence
[C]How many times
my potential was anonymous?
[F]How many times
the city making me promises?
[Em]So I promise this

[Chorus 2]
I love my[Am]self
(The world is a ghetto
[Dm]with big guns and picket signs)
I love my[Am]self
(But it can do what it want
[Dm]whenever it want, I don't mind)
I love my[Am]self
(He said I gotta get up,
[Dm]life is more than suicide)
I love [Am]my, self
(One day at a [Dm]time, sun gon' shine)

[Verse 2]
They wanna say it's a [Am]war outside
and a bomb in the street
[Dm]And a gun in the hood, and a mob of police
And a [Am]rock on the corner,
and a line for the fiend
[Dm]And a bottle full of lean,
and a model on the scene, [Am]yup
These days of frus[Dm]tration
keep y'all on tuck and rota[Am]tion
I duck these cold [Dm]faces,
post up "fi-fie-fo-fum" ba[F]sis
Dreams of reality's peace (Ayy, [C]ayy)
Blow steam in the face of the beast
The [F]sky could fall down,
the wind could cry now
The [Em]strong in me, I still smile

[Chorus 3]
I love my[Am]self
(The world is a ghetto
[Dm]with big guns and picket signs)
I love my[Am]self
(But it can do what it want
[Dm]whenever it want, I don't mind)
I love my[Am]self
(He said I gotta get up,
[Dm]life is more than suicide)
I love [Am]my, self
(One day at a [Dm]time, sun gon' shine)

[Bridge 1]
[Am]Walk my bare [Dm]feet (Walk my bare feet)
[Am]Down, down, valley deep
[Dm](Down, down valley deep)
[Am]Fi-fie-fo- [Dm]fum (Fi-fie-fo-fum)
[Am]My heart undone (M[Dm]y heart undone)

[Bridge 2]
[Am]The world is a ghetto
[G]with big guns and picket signs
(I love my[D]self)
But it can do what it want,
[F]whenever it want, I [Dm]don't mind
[Em](I love myse[Am]lf)
He said I gotta get up,
[G]life is more than suicide (I love [D]my, self)
One day at a [F]time, sun [Dm]gon' shine (Hold up)

[Verse 3]
I went to [Am]war last n[G]ight
With an [D]automatic weapon,
don't nobody call a medic
[F]I'ma do it 'til I get it [Dm]right
I went to [Am]war last n[G]ight
I've been [D]dealing with depression
ever since an adolescent
[F]Duckin' every other blessin',
[Dm]I can never se[Em]e the message
I could [Am]never take the lead,
I could never bob and weave
[G]From a negative and
letting them annihilate me
And it's [D]evident I'm moving at a meteor speed
[F]Finna run into a building,
[Dm]lay my body in the street
Keep my [Am]money in the ceiling,
let my mama know I'm free
[G]Give my story to the children
and a lesson they can read
And the [D]glory to the feeling
of the holy unseen
[F]Seen enough, make a mother[Dm]fucker scream,

[Outro 1]
"I love my[Am]self"
I [G]lost my head
I [D]must've misread what the [F]good book [Dm]said
[Em]Oh, [Am]woes keep me, it's a j[G]ungle inside
Give [D]myself again 'til the [F]well runs [Dm]dry, [Em]I
[Am][G][D][F]
[Repeat and fade]
