[Intro 1]
[C]
[F][C][Ab][Gm]
Sometimes I [F]feel like

[Verse 1]
I've drifted,
I feel differ[C]ent I feel gifted
I've been [Ab]high so long,
don't need [Gm]to smoke to get lifted
I've been un[Em]der pressure
looking for nikki
Whenever she is [C]around,
[Ab]you know I come quickly
[Fm]Vivid memories of Chicago,
[F]south side where [C]I go
From Reggies to The [Ab]House of Blues,
progress is [Gm]the model
Man the first show that I [Em]ever
done sold out was in chicago
[C]Yea[Ab]h, yeah,
[Fm]living like [F]I've been ready to die
Maybe [C]not, I don't know why
my [Ab]mind is changing
Rearran[Gm]ging this dangerous melody,
[Em]uh[C]
Yeah, and I [Ab]know that ain't nobody
finna ever be [Fm]ahead of me
All that competition right
there is [F]dead to me
[C]Yeah, [Ab]uh, yeah,
[Gm]I've been turn[Em]ing the pages
Feeling the [C]vibe, shit is outrageous
Boy, I've been [Ab]feeling courageous
This shit right [Fm]here,
I've been at it for ages
Feels like I'm [F]running through mazes,
[C]everybody has they pha[Ab]ses[Gm]
Yeah, [Em]vibe with this,
bad bitch in the whip and I [C]ride to this
And I'm feeling it [G]uh,
[Ab]hope when I'm forty I'm still in it
One of the [Fm]few that be killing it uh
Yeah, [F]young motherfucker
that be giving what he living
On the [C]road to success you
know that I'm driven
[Ab]But they didn't wanna publish it, but
right [Gm]now I'm on some other shit
I'm in a different [Em]world,
I'm with a different girl
I'm with the same team,
but it's [C]a different scheme
Remember [Ab]back when I couldn't
even pay the bills
And I'll [Fm]never forget how that
feels back when I would
[F]Buy it,

[Verse 2]
break it, roll it, light [C]it, smoke it,
inhale it I'm [Ab]gone[Gm]
[Em]Buy it, break it, roll it, light it, s[C]moke it,
inhale it I'm [Ab]gone
[Fm]

[Verse 3]
Okay, doing what I [F]gotta do,
[C]flying at this altitude
[Ab]I look out of the window like goddamn,[Gm]
that's what I really do
[Em]Don't know why I fear the planes,
sometimes [C]I was to sustain
[Ab]If I look back on it I would
do it [Fm]all over again
Nikki, nikki, [F]where you [Fm]been? [C]I
can't wait to breathe you in
[Ab]Been on this plane way too long,
I [Gm]can't wait to see you again
[Em]Oh my God this turbulence has go[C]t
me sippin' on this liquor
[Ab]Crazy racist white bitch looking [Fm]at us
like "who are these niggas?"
First [F]class, on they ass,
[C]all complain that's when I dash
[Ab]Just landed in Europe and this
[Gm]model bitch is tryna smash
[Em]Now I'm riding on the train,
[C]all this shit inside my brain
[Ab]Just left a hotel in Belgium,
[Fm]damn them waffles was insane
Smoking [F]blunts in Amsterdam,
[C]oh my God this is my jam
May-[Ab]December by by Mos Def [Gm]in my headphones,
that's the man
[C]I know,

[Verse 4]
[Em]I kn[C]ow that I got it if I,[Ab]
do [Fm]what I gotta do to get [F]by
And they [C]wonder why I never get [Ab]high
And they [Gm]wonder why I never get high
[C]I k[Em]now, I[C] know that I got it if I,[Ab]

And they [C]wonder why I never get high
An[Ab]d they won[Gm]der why I never get high
Okay, [F]fuck af

[Verse 5]
[Fm]filiation,
I'm that [C]dude that did it on his own
The [Ab]thoughts inside my mind,
be fuckin' [Gm]with me when I'm all alone
I [Em]really like this girl she bad as [C]fuck,
why must I run away?
It [Ab]feel like self assassination,
[Fm]I can't put this gun away
God damn, what's [F]the plan,
[C]not complacent where I am
[Ab]Reminiscing when I hit the [Gm]road
back in that mini van
[Em]Broke as fuck, not a dollar,
[C]whipping that Chevy impala
[Ab]Praying that we make it out this [Fm]city,
Lord willin', insha'allah
Up to [F]date the couple years,
[C]now my idols are my peers
[Ab]I was on the road to nowhere
[Gm]till I decided to veer
[Em]Put my everything into this [C]shit,
you know, I know you know this
[Ab]Used to give a fuck what people [Fm]thought,
hoping that they would notice
Stop giving a [F]fuck cause music
[C]gotta be the only motive
[Ab]Mind racing on and off the track,
I'm [Gm]going [F]locomotive
I can't be[C]lieve you don't like
