Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
So, you tell me that everything
just isn't going well

[Verse 1]
Well, first off
[C#m]My only problem is death
[Cm]Fuck Heaven,
I ain't showin' no religion respect
[G#m]Brain damage, therapy's
the only thing I regret
Talking to [Em]me is like a fucking body
missin' a neck
[C#m]But, I'm surprised
I ain't pop off my top [Cm]off
Life is a bitch and my cock's soft,
the Glock's [G#m]cocked
My hands tremble, my finger slipped,
the wall's [Em]red
Her life is fucked, she's sad now,

[Chorus 1]
her son is dead
[C#m]I told her I'm her worst nightmare[Cm]
This is hell, you don't ever gotta fight [G#m]fair
My spirit floats around in the night [Em]air
Or in your day dreams,
that's how death [C#m]seems
I told her I'm her worst night[Cm]mare
This is hell, you don't ever gotta fight [G#m]fair
My spirit floats around in the night [Em]air
Or in your day dreams,

[Verse 2]
that's how death seems
[C#m]
When I was younger, I would smile a lot
I'm gettin' [Cm]older, gettin' bolder, but a wiser top
Now I'm drunk [G#m]drivin',
lap's full of Budweiser tops
Life is a [Em]movie and you're just a prop
They begged me to stop,
but [C#m]I listen like deaf drums
Love? I don't get none,
that's [Cm]why I'm so hostile to the kids
that get [G#m]some
My father called me to tell me he loved me
I'd [Em]have a better chance
of gettin' Taylor Swift to fuck me
An[C#m]noying and I'm ugly,
most niggas wanna punch me
I'm sur[Cm]prised the fucking doctor
even touched me
Feel like [G#m]Humpty, you hoping that I'll fall?
Fuck y'all
I'm [Em]Ace, I'm parentless, odd, kinda arrogant
[C#m]Ignorant as fuck,
offend people for the hell of it
Be[Cm]cause I am the devil, fucker,
get on my level
[G#m]Doughnuts and keys and kick-flips,
Supremes and [Em]markers
My life is Ms. Mon-unique Parker,
[Gm]but a lil' d[Am]arker
I'll [F#m]see you in a co[Gm]uple,
[Am]O. F[F#m][Gm]
[Am][F#m]
[Gm][Am][F#m]

[Chorus 2]
[C#m]I told her I'm her worst nightmare[Cm]
This is hell, you don't ever gotta fight [G#m]fair
My spirit floats around in the night [Em]air
Or in your day dreams,
that's how death [C#m]seems
I told her I'm her worst night[Cm]mare
This is hell, you don't ever gotta fight [G#m]fair
My spirit floats around in the night [Em]air
Or in your day dreams,

[Interlude 1]
that's how death seems
Tyler, here's some water, man
You, you seem a little tense

[Verse 3]
How's, uh, how's Thebe?
[C#m]All because a nigga
just don't give a fuck
[Cm]Parents wanna blame me
all because their kid is fucking up
But [G#m]fuck that, you're a shitty parent,
face it, suck it up
That's [Em]what you should've did
before that nigga bust, [C#m]huh
Feel like I missed my lil' brother growin' up
[Cm]Feel like my lil' brother
missed his brother growin' up
But [G#m]this is Golf Wang,
like he missed his family growin' up
I [Em]got a lil' taller
since the last time you seen me, [C#m]bruh
Now I'm emo, so fuck it, I'm pourin' [Cm]up
But I never had a drink
(Sydney, Tyler's throwin' up!)
My [G#m]nigga Jasper said
if I drink and get drunk enough
I [Em]won't feel the feelings
I be feelin' when I'm sobered [C#m]up
But that's a fucking lie,
why would he say that?
I'm [Cm]as emotionally straight as Travis when he...
(Tyler, calm [G#m]down)
Don't look at me, I'm 6'5", about to fucking cry
A[Em]bout another guy,
but this is Golf Wang, do or [C#m]die
I finally had a family
Domo's in an[Cm]other state,
and where the fuck is Riley?
Now you niggas [G#m]wanna be nice
because the labels wanna sign me
But be[Em]fore the co-signing
and you fuckers couldn't find me?
[C#m]Fuck that! I hope you die in a fiery death
One ear I [Cm]got kids screaming,
"O.F. is the best"
The other [G#m]ear I got Tron Cat,
asking where the bullets and the [Em]bombs at
So I can kill these levels of stress, [C#m]shit
They say that I'm shock value
[Cm]How about you hop off cock
and turn volume [G#m]down?
I haven't got around to tellin' my mom [Em]shit
(Why?)
'Cause I don't know how to (Whoa)
All I [C#m]want is her support,
but no, it's the fights at home
When mom[Cm]my cusses out cousin,
some knifes get shown
Now she's [G#m]really fuckin' pissed,
so the knives get thrown
And hit her [Em]in her fucking neck,
now her throat's all gone
Looking [Gm]like a fucking monster
from the [Am]Twilight [F#m]Zone
Then they [Gm]wonder why I stay at Travis' [Am]pad
with a [F#m]backpack
[Gm]For the whole week,
full of [Am]plastic-wrapped [F#m]black tees
[Gm]And deoroant like his [Am]house is my [F#m]home
I could live with the same hat
And the same flat-screen
TV watchin' Flapjack
And the same bacon and waffles
on a nice Saturday
Where I skate
with the same fucking friends at
[C#m]Didn't give a fuck about fame or a name, oh
"Message from The GZA,
oh, another one from Plain Pat"
Email full of emails, I never write back
Ain't kill myself yet,

[Chorus 3]
and I already want my life back
[C#m]I told her I'm her worst nightmare[Cm]
This is hell, you don't ever gotta fight [G#m]fair
My spirit floats around in the night [Em]air
Or in your day dreams,

[Verse 4]
that's how death seems
[C#m]One shot, two shots, one gun, two cops
I'm [Cm]goin' in flu shots,
couldn't kill me with two top [G#m]rockers
You're on the side of faggots
and cock blockers
I'm [Em]on the side of bad-ass kids
and the top notches
[Gm]I'm Barney, dino[Am]saur Harle[F#m]y of a human[Gm]
'Cause I'm 'shrooming with the [Am]bangers
and the [F#m]carneys
You [Gm]niggas can't harm me
'cause [Am]y'all know that
We [F#m]at the fuckin' Dir[Gm]ty like it's laundry
(Tyler, [Am]calm down)

[Outro 1]
Nigga, get off me
[C#m](Calm down, man)
Fuck off me, man, [Cm]fuck
(What's, what's gotten into you?)
I don't, [G#m]I don't know,
it's, it's like I'm a different person at times
[Em]Sometimes I'm fucking mad,
sometimes I'm not
(Yeah, you)
It's like [C#m]I got a fucking voice in my head
Tellin' [Cm]me to do all this fucked up shit, man
(Yeah, [G#m]what's, what's what's this?)
I don't fucking know, man
(What's this [Em]person named then, Tyler, huh?)
He tells me to do this shit,
that I don't wanna fucking do
(What's his name?)
Tron Cat
