Not Your Time To Go Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Let[F]
[C]me take you back a little,
I'll tell you [G]my story, alright?
Let's [Am]go! [F]It's you[C]r boy![G]
My [Am]life could sound like a sad song,
so let [F]me take you back a little,
short story long
I was [C]born in a crazy country,
but beautiful in[Am]deed
The [G]Middle East, Miami,
special air that I breathe
[Am]War zone, yes, hard [F]zone, yes
Beirut, Lebanon, well known, no
The [C]spirit of the soldier, riches of a land
But [G]too little to grab on,
with so many hands
So they [Am]fight,
and for a decade they
fought again
[F]I'm watching, I'm a kid and god damn,
I can't understand
[C]I see the heroes dying,
I see the soldiers cry[G]ing
I pray for better days, but God was ly[Am]ing
So, that's my reality,
[G]I guess I'm [F]eleven years old
And no future to assess
Plus the [C]fact that I'm a property
of a war zone country
I've [G]seen it all,
they made a warrior out of me
[Am]Go! Wake up kid, it's
not your time to go
Just [F]not your time to go
It's not your time to go
[C]No! Wake up kid, it's now the time
to show the whole [G]world
What you came for
Go! It's your payback
[Am]Wake up kid, it's not your time to go
Just [F]not your time to go
It's not your time to go
[C]No! Wake up kid, it's now the
time to show the
Don't [G]worry about your pain, folk,
oh, it's your payback
Payback, [Am]payback, payback, payback
Still so young, living like no tomorrow
Like [F]on a respirator,
breathing on time you borrow
Seek[C]ing for a little piece,
a glimpse of your sunshine
[G]Gather the family and have
some quality time
And then [Am]January 1st, [F]1991, war is over
Daddy had enough, let's move [C]over
Quickly we pack up,
couple of dollars [F]to back up
[G]Grab my little sister, kiss goodbye,
it's a wrap up
[Am]My new life, for me a new begi[F]nning
I knew from there on
there's no fight I won't be winning
And [C]of course I'll be your ultimate,
hustler I was trained for
[G]Mentally be stronger,
be the best and get paid for
[Am]The word is, this kid is scared [G]of nothing
No [F]matter what you show me
I've seen worse
The point [C]is, I wanna be a leader now
I was [G]never scared to die
Fuck you, the world is mine
[Am]Wake up kid, it's not your time to go
Just [F]not your time to go
It's not your time to go
It's not [C]your time to
Wake up kid, it's now the time
to show the whole [G]world
what you came for
Go, it's your payback
[Am]Wake up kid, it's now your time to go
It's [F]now your time to go
It's now your time to go
Wake [C]up kid, it's now the time
to show the whole [G]world
what you came for
Go, it's your payback
[Am]Okay
See I never look back,
I'm just happy I made it
Life [F]owed me a favor,
I'm just happy she paid it
Came from the [C]bottom of bottom,
straight to the top of the top
Now I'm en[G]joying every minute of it,
like if it was my last
[Am]Don't ever look back,
I'm just happy I made it
Life [F]owed me a favor,
I'm just happy she paid it
Came from [C]the bottom of bottom,
straight to the top of the top
Let me [G]sleep if I'm dreaming,
so they can't take me back
[Am]Wake up, kid, it's not your time to go
It's [F]not your time to go,
it's not your time to go
[C]Wake up, kid, it's now the time
to show the whole [G]world
What you came for, go,
and you'll pay for it
[Am]Wake up, kid, it's not your time to go
It's [F]not your time to go,
it's not your time to go
[C]Wake up kid, it's now the time
to show the whole [G]world
what you came for
Go get your payback
[Am][F]
