Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
[Em]Yeah, lost in the world
Like Siddhartha while I author these [Am]quotes
Cutting hoes like a varsity coach
Caught [Em]fire, no larceny
Please you gotta pardon these [Am]boasts
A lot of niggas pray to God that he choke
Never [Em]see the album drop
Fall off and be broke
Remi[Am]nisching on the hard times
So often he'd hope
To slip [Bm]his foot in the door
Promise when I made it
I'd [Am]write my hooks for the poor
But now I'm hella faded
And got [Em]my foot to the floor
While I'm pushing this Porsche
Seem [Am]to be more concerned with how
I look in The Source
Staring [Bm]in the mirror just to see
a look of remorse
Take a [Am]look at my chain
Look at what I became, mayne

[Verse 2]
You [Em]never had it easy, I [Am]know
But I still remember [Bm]you
And what we used to [Am]say so
I say, [Em]this my song for you my [Am]friend
You can only see that [Bm]I
Can hardly let things [Am]go, no, oh, yeah
So [Em]listen to the sound of my [Am]voice
You better send him all my [Bm]love
He's given me no [Am]choice, no, no, no
[Em]Listen to the sound of the [Am]boys, huh
A raggamuffin is a freedom [Bm]fighter
He's handling a [Am]choice

[Chorus 1]
And I know that if
[Em]The raggamuffin is one of the friend
[Am]What you see is what you really get in the end
But [Bm]what you're ever gonna, gonna do,
I don't [Am]know
And [Em]the raggamuffin shall not fall down
Because [Am]he has the wisdom
not to fool around
But [Bm]why did you have to leave
the good sense on the [Am]ground, yes

[Verse 3]
You [Em]never had it easy, I [Am]know
But I still remember [Bm]you
And what we used to [Am]have so
I say, [Em]this my song for you my [Am]friend
You can only see that [Bm]I
Will never for[Am]get ye-yes so

[Chorus 2]
[Em]The raggamuffin is one of the friend
[Am]What you see is what you really get in the end
But [Bm]what you're ever gonna, gonna do,
I don't [Am]know
And [Em]the raggamuffin shall not fall down
Because [Am]he has the wisdom
not to fool around
But [Bm]why did you have to leave
the good sense on the [Am]ground, yes

[Verse 4]
[Em]Yeah, that old me
that that you knew well is still in [Am]me
Somewhere, deep down there
[Em]Hiding in the corner is a nigga who cared
[Am]Believed he could change the world
and he dared
[Em]Now he sits alone
Used to write poems but [Am]that's gone
It's been so long 'cause he's scared
[Bm]The world ain't fair and I'm fully aware
When the [Am]revolution comes will I stare

[Chorus 3]
Or will I ride
[Em]The raggamuffin is one of the friend
[Am]What you see is what you really get in the end
But [Bm]what you're ever gonna, gonna do,
I don't [Am]know
And [Em]the raggamuffin shall not fall down
Because [Am]he has the wisdom
not to fool around
But [Bm]why did you have to leave
the good sense on the [Am]ground, yes

[Outro 1]
[Em][Am][Bm][Am]
[Em][Am][Bm][Am]
[Em]
