[Am]

[Verse 1]
[C]How can you fairly ass[Gm]ess
something from the out[G]side looking [Am]in?
[Dm]There's gotta be them times you'll be wrong,
know what i [E]mean?[C]
[Em]How can a mo'fucker go
around and hate a nigga
[F#m]He never even met[Am],
he don't even [A]know [Dm]and shit?
I think this rap shit is all beef

[Verse 2]
Y'all don't [C]even know every
day I'm living with stress
[Am]Got up out the s[C]treets you think
a nigga could [Dm]rest
Can't even enjoy myself
at a party unless
I'm on the dance floor,
hot- ass vest
You think I'm freaking these [C]chicks,
right?
I try not to brush against
they chest
You get a lawsuit for [Gm]shit like that,
I feel trapped
[Dm]Swear to everything
when I leave this earth
It's gon' be on both feet,
[G]never knees in the dirt
You could [C]try me fucka but
when I squeeze it hurts, fine
[A]We'll lose two[Gm] lives, yours and mines
Gim[Dm]me any amount of time
don't let Mrs. Carter grieve
At the funeral parlor dripping
tears on my sleeve
Told [C]the judge didn't budge
it was him or [Am]me
And [A]I ain't trying to be hard
but I'm guilty as charged
Put [Dm]my mercy on this court
and my faith in God
And pray [Gm]hard none of my nephews [Am]wanna be stars,
luck[C]y me

[Verse 3]
You only know [A]what you see
[Dm]You don't understand what it
[Gsus4]takes to [G]be [Dm]me

[Verse 4]
[C]I hate all girls with ulterior motives
That's why I'm [A]twenty plus [C]years old,
no sons, no [Bb]daughters
[Dm]Hate putting my life in the hands
of fake promoters
[G]Hear the hate in my [Dm]voice,
right? [A]I hate that you [Am]no ticed
Niggas [C]wanna strip you to the bone
for shit you own
[A]Hate a nigga like that, faggot,
[Am]get your own[Dm]
Hate that I can't roam the street
without the clip and chrome
Knowing one day I'ma [F]have [Dm]to flip, c'mon
[G]You know the[C] shit don't stop 'til the
Cris' don't pop
[A]And you have to kill a nigga and
your [Am]wrist don't [Dm]lock
I'm trapped,
the whole world's against me in fact
But ain't no [G]turning back,
bring [Dm]it on
[C]Hate the price of fame
'cause it cost too much
Can I [Am]live without y'all niggas
saying [C]I floss too much?
Hate [Dm]the way you make this hate
flow all through us
Steady looking for flaws through us,
[Gsus4]lucky me[C]

[Verse 5]
You only know [Am]what [A]you see[Bbdim]
[Dm]You don't understand what
it [Gsus4]takes to [Dm]be me
[Gsus4]Ever since I was [C]4 years old I been told,
[Am]everything that [C]glitters ain't gold (you only know what you see)
[A]And now that I've [Dm]arrived
I see those truths unfold before [Gsus4]my eyes in a world so
cold (you don't understand what it takes to be me)

[Verse 6]
And niggas [C]see you in the street,
pretend to be friendly
But I [Am]know any type
of success [C]breeds envy
[Dm]I know in the back of your mind
you're conjuring ways to hem me
Leave my friends in a circle
[Am]pouring out [Dm]Henny
But G's [C]is heaven bound
so how I'm gon' receive
Any[A]thing y'all pour to the
ground [C]next time throw it up
[Dm]And ain't nothing changed so even in
my after[G]life I show [Gsus4]it up
[Dm]Don't grieve for me, my art [C]re mains
Like a dart from the speaker to your heart
Spir[Eb]itually through the portal
[A]now my words is immortal
Don't plan to [Dm]leave without a fight,
I plant a seed I give life
Though I can't see past the girl's
greed to call [G]her wife
Nex[C]t time you're thinking
heist better be precise
[Gm]'Cause I'm fully prepared,
[Am]one of us is gon' [A]leave here
[Dm]I have no regrets even though I
won't see grow
[Gsus4]My godson Boogie, [G]Sonny and Remo, [Am]lucky me

[Verse 7]
