Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Dm][Dm]
If you [Am]love somethin', let it go
If it comes back to you, it's yours
If it [Dm]doesn't, it never was
Hold me down, baby

[Chorus 1]
Either let me [Am]fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
If I don't [Dm]fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Either let me [Am]fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
If I don't [Dm]fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day

[Verse 1]
Hold [Am]me down, niggas wanna know me now
Didn't want to play with me,
wanted to show me how
No [Dm]meow, 'cause it's all about the bark
Let the dog loose, baby, it's about to spark
Light [Am]up the night, like the 4th of July
Niggas know, when I let go, niggas die
'Cause [Dm]why? And you don't know
you slow like Baltimore
If you ain't trying to go, you blow
I soak [Am]up all the pain and accept it in silence
When I let go it's violence, 'cause the wildest
[Dm]Leaves the dog barking up the tree for the cat
In the fog but y'all niggas see is the bat
[Am]Flapping away but I'm blind like Stevie
Niggas don't hear me, still trying to see me
[Dm]Stop being greedy, you heard what I said
Let me go, let me flow on my bed

[Chorus 2]
Either let me [Am]fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
If I don't [Dm]fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Either let me [Am]fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
If I don't [Dm]fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day

[Verse 2]
I sold my [Am]soul to the devil,
and the price was cheap
And yo, it's cold on this level,
'cause it's twice as deep
But you don't [Dm]hear me,
ignorance is bliss and so on
Sometimes it's better to be thought dumb
Shall I go on?
[Am]Yo, on the real, what the deal? It's a mystery
How is it I can live and make history?
If you don't [Dm]see it,
then it wasn't meant for you to see
If you wasn't born wit' it,
then it wasn't meant for you to be
But you [Am]can't blame me
for not wantin' to be hound
Lock down in a cell wit' a soul gettin' dwelled
This is [Dm]hell, go get the devil
and get me the key
But can't be worst than the curse
that was given to me
It's what I [Am]live for,
you take away that and I'm gone
There's a difference between doin' wrong
and being wrong
And that [Dm]ain't right
Let's keep it fair baby
Put me in the air,
and I'll take it there baby (yes)

[Chorus 3]
Either let me [Am]fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
If I don't [Dm]fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Either let me [Am]fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
If I don't [Dm]fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day

[Verse 3]
I'ma flow re[Am]gardless because I'm an artist
until I'm trapped
I'ma continue to hit the hardest
whether I scrap or rap
[Dm]Give me dap, but you ain't my friend
I see it in your eyes, you contemplate my end
You waitin' for [Am]that bend in the road,
where you were told
That you would go, when you were old
And if you died young, it was cold
[Dm]Sold, not for nearly what it was worth
Think back 26 years, be like, "What if his birth
Was a miscarriage [Am]and I never existed?"
Have I given something that if taken away,
you'd have missed it?
Didn't know, yet [Dm]I persisted,
it was the call of the wild
I merely say what's in my heart
and you call it a style
Don't put it [Am]in a cage, don't mistreat it
You say you hunger for knowledge?
Here it is, eat it
Another song com[Dm]pleted
is another thought captured
Let me do my thing,
I got it locked with this rap shit

[Chorus 4]
Either let me [Am]fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
If I don't [Dm]fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Either let me [Am]fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
If I don't [Dm]fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day

[Chorus 5]
Either let me [Am]fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
If I don't [Dm]fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on
But I'll be gone any day
Either let me [Am]fly, or give me death
Let my soul rest, take my breath
If I don't [Dm]fly I'ma die anyway, I'ma live on

[Chorus 6]
But I'll be gone any day
[Am]Or give me death, uh uh uh,
or take my breath
[Dm]I'ma die anyway,
But I'll be gone any day
[Am]Or give me death, uh uh uh,
or take my breath
[Dm]I'ma die anyway,

[Outro 1]
But I'll be gone any day
[Am]For my niggas
Uh, ah, for my niggas
[Dm]Uh, ah, for my niggas
Uh, ah, for my niggas
[Repeat and fade]
