[Verse 2]
If [A5]the lines can be read between
Maybe you can tell me then
what it all [Bb]means
Cause [Am]he who paints the big picture
runs [A5]the whole scene

[Verse 3]
Locked down, [A5]I gotta get [Bb]it out
[A5]Impending doom, a cloud above my head
Why me? My faith has been de[Bb]vout
[A5]Blasphem[Bb]ous? A[A5]m I better off
dead?

[Verse 5]
[A5]
A burning thought inside my mind
Has me full of pity for all of human [Bb]kind
As [A5]we move [Am]forth,
we fall further [A5]behind
[Am]Fear of [A5]death, will my

[Verse 6]
life [Am]go on[Bb]?
[A5]Controlled fate? On the corn[Am]er
[A5]rolling dice
Punishment, but I've done nothing wrong

the price

Dread [A5]the day that brings
[Bb]the truth
[A5]Punishment for what I've
[Am]done[Bb]
Sentence me for [C]all [B]my [A5]sins[Bb][A5]
Bound in fear for what

[Am]Though not much it seems a [A5]lot[Bb]
Life is death and [C]no [B]one [A5]wins
[Bb][A5][Bb][A5][Bb][A5]

[Verse 9]
[A5]Bustin' my as[Bb]s, another [A5]day another [Bb]dol lar,
as I [Am]kneel down [Bb]and I
Con[Am]fess to the father that I'm [A5]suf
fering [Bb]a burning que[A5]stion of
the [Bb]truth, whether or [A5]not to pull the
[Bb]trigger or to [A5]jump right

[Verse 11]
[F]In [C#]reali[D5]ty,[Am]
[Bb]we all m[A5]ust face the f[Bb]act that the majorit[A5]y
of the [Bb]people are out [Am]there smoking crack,
getting doped up,
[Bb]shooting that shit [A5]into their [Bb]veins,
the [A5]question must be a[Bb]sked if
we [A5]have any [Am]brains [A5]left,
or [Bb]right or wrong [A5]in t[Bb]his son, a
[A5]question we all [Bb]ask and must a[A5]n swer before lo[Am]ng,
'cause no one
is safe [Bb]in this world, w[A5]hat's the de[Bb]al,
the [A5]sentence is death [Bb]and to
[A5]what court do I ap[D5]peal?[Bb][Am]
