[Intro 1]
[Em][Am]
[B][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
Currently [Em]working
an odd job, no [Am]cash
Just to be broke and to
[B]own money right back
I'll be the vic[Am]tim of growing
up in low [Em]class
When you say nickel and dime,
ain't even considered
your last
Pick up that piece, it feel like I'm walking
on [Am]glass
Try to be patient,
but ain't no [Bm]waiting this
[B]time I a dream in the [Am]mirror, I held a million
in [Em]the bag
But still ain't been no different, too difficult
to relax
So much heavy just to get in the studio
[Am]Now I ain't got a [Em]ride,
but I ain't stressin' by gas
Slow sex, lil' [Am]fast, no [Em]rest, feel bad
All I can do is count the moments
that I'm happy and I'm glad
Is it just me?
Cause I'm dependin'
on my income tax
[Am]Every year I plan a sale,
but they don't [B]happen like that
They say more money, more problem[Am]s,
that is a scientific fact
So I just [Em]try to make my music
a motivational grass
That's why I demand life
don't [Am]pass me by
Hit the play [B]button at
the same time record
[Am]Just so I can [Em]say that life heard me
If I should leave this planet here early
I know I said what I wanna [Am]feel
I really felt good on my [B]own,
I ain't need nobody else
[Am]And it's still the beginning,
but in the [Em]end I just did it for my family
Mama raised me alone,
so I ride my own [Am]lane
Forced to do it by myself,
so I [B]learned the whole game
Had a choice to sell [Am]weed,
either crack cocaine
[Em]Option not for a nine to five
drive -thru day
Flippin' burgers and writin' back in the trance
while recit[Am]in' from a page
I ain't [Em]learn algebra but
read good from an
[Am]A
Teachers told me I'm bright,
see the [Em]light like a ray
I guess my sign showed white
from the block right away
Well, a dream for a dream to come [Am]true,
I would say
Real[Em]istically,
[B]I knew the odds weren't straight
[Am]People say that nigga here [Em]at
B's kinda strange
He don't smoke a drink,
don't belong to a gang
That's why I grind every [Am]day,
plus I work hard
Sleep [Em]badly, [B]wake up and work hard
[Am]So that the fu[Em]ture me would
never have to stress for it
I press the play button,
all y 'all can record it
That's life don't [Am]pass me for it
Hit the play [B]button at the same
time [Em]record [Am]it
Just [Em]so I can say that life heard me
If I should leave this planet here early
I know I said what I really [Am]felt
I really felt did it on [B]my own
I ain't need nobody else
[Am]And it's still the beginning
But in the [Em]end, I just did it for my panic,
it's all me
And all I ever will [Am]be, none artificial
[Em]Down to this [B]turkey bone chain,
every single tissue
[Am]That's all I know how to remain,
it's the [Em]whole picture
Not even made to be framed, trying
out the megapixel
And you will see that I just
[Am]do it for my fam
The love for the [B]love and the music I am
[Am]No clone,
just [Em]a beat with the metronome
Cardio mic, noise cancelling headphones
In the booth to make me
[Am]feel like I'm home
I'd probably go in[B]sane
if I'm outside it too long
[Am]And when I'm not,
I'm with my [Em]son and my wife
Sitting back, drinking coffee, watching
Harry
Potter fight
Some people pray for [Am]a deal,
I got the [Em]blessing of [B]life
To pray for fame, what it look like
[Am]But still things you want at t[Em]imes,
hard to ignore
No pause or rewind, play and record
Demand life, don't [Am]pass me forward
Hit the play [B]button at the same time,
record
[Am]Just so I can say that life [Em]heard me
If I shoulda just planned it here earlier
I know I said what I wanna [Am]feel
I really felt, did it on my [Em]own
I ain't need nobody else
[Am]And it's still the begin[Em]ning
But in the end, I just did it for my family
This all me
you
