Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]I put my heart and soul in this game,
I'm feelin' drained
Unappreciated, unalle[Bm]viated
[C]Tired of comin' up short,
fuck abbreviated
Want my whole name spelled out,
my own pain spilled out
[Am]No pain, no gain, I blow brains,
[C]Cob[F#dim]ain
Throw flames, Liu Kang, [B]the coach ain't help out,
[Em]so I call my own shots
I'm David Blaine, I'm breakin' out of my own [B]box,
you stay the same
[Em]But homie if you change,
may you change for the better
Back when Martin King had
a thing [G]for [C]Coretta
Wonder if she seen all the dreams
he was dreamin'
Did she have a clue of all
the schemes he was [Am]schemin'
Still loved him just enough to put
up with the cheatin'
[F#dim]Months go by and only
[B]see him for a weekend
[Em]I say a prayer, hope my girl ain't leavin'
We all got angels, [G]we all got [Em]demons
[Am]As you fall through the club
[C]Bad bitches down to do all the above
[Am]Money comes fast so bein'
hungry don't last
'Til [F#dim]you look in the mirror and
you [B]saw who you was
[Em]Cole World,
it couldn't be more clearer
[C]The time is now,
couldn't be more her- er
[Am]My reign gonna last like 3- 4 eras
Say [F#m]hello to the real,
I can [B]be your [Em]hero

[Verse 2]
Hey, I'ma put us all on the [Em]map
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
I [Bm]know they gon' [C]feel it like
they tank on E
I promise baby,
[B]you can bet the bank on [C]me
'Cause can't nobody [Am]tell me what
I ain't gonna be no more
You [F#dim]thinking I'ma fall,
don't [B]be so [Em]sure
I wish somebody made guidelines
On how to [B]get up off the sidelines

[Verse 3]
Up [Em]in first class,
laugh even though it's not funny
See a white man wonder how
the fuck I got [G]money
[C]While he sit in coach,
hate to see me walk past 'em
Young, black, pants sag,
headphones blastin'
[Am]Know what he askin',
"how did he [C]manage?"
[F#dim]"With all the cards against him, he
[B]used them to his advantage!"
[Em]Slang we be speakin' probably
soundin' like Spanish
Then I fuck they head[F#m]s up when
a [G]nigga show [Em]manners
[Am]Some New York niggas thought it was
funny callin' us [C]'Bama
Laughin' at the grammar 'cause
they didn't understand us
[Am]Must've thought we slow,
but little do they know
I came up in here to take [F#dim]ad vantage
of that [B]shit y'all take for granted
[Em]Opportunity that I would kill for
[C]Lookin' at rappers like "what the
fuck you got a deal [Am]for"
When I was ass out with my
funds low
[F#m]It's nice to know I had the whole
[B]world at my front [Em]door

[Verse 4]
Hey, I'ma put us all on the [Em]map
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
I [Bm]know they gon' [C]feel it like
they tank on E
I promise baby,
you can bet the bank on me
'Cause can't nobody [Am]tell me what
I ain't gonna be no more
You [F#dim]thinking I'ma fall,
don't [B]be so [Em]sure
I wish somebody made guidelines
On how to [C]get up off the [B]sidelines

[Verse 5]
I [Em]made it to the rack,
even though they tried to box me out
I got the key to the game,
they tried to lock me [C]out
But what they don't understand
is this is all plan
It's a bigger picture and you can't
[Am]photoshop me out
Some nigga ask me why
Jay never shout me out
[F#dim]Like I'm supposed to give a fu[B]ck
Don't you know that I be out in [Em]France
Where the fans throw they hands
like Pacquiao
Not 'cause [F#m]my looks,
'cause [G]my hooks could knock [Em]Rocky out
[Am]And my lines is designed
from the heart
Young [C]Simba been a lion from the start
Dumb nigga's,
y'all [Am]been lyin from the start
My life's like a movie, [F#dim]truly
And these niggas is [B]dyin' for the part
[Em]But, you'll never play me like
LeBron vs. Jordan
[C]Twenty years, wonder who they
gon' say was more important
[Am]Both changed the game,
came through and made a lane
Who's to [F#m]say that who's gr[F#dim]eater, all we kn[B]ow,
they ain't [Em]the same

[Verse 6]
Hey, I'ma put us all on the [Em]map
Gone and I ain't lookin' back
I [G]know they gon' [C]feel it like
they tank on E
I promise baby,
you can bet the bank on me
'Cause [B]can't nobody [Am]tell me what
I ain't gonna be no more
You [F#dim]thinking I'ma fall,
don't [B]be so [Em]sure
I wish somebody [F#m]made guidelines
On how to [G]get up off the [Em]sidelines
