[Intro 1]
[D][Em]
[G]
Yo, we [Em]obviously

[Verse 1]
[Em]
need to [G]tone it down a bit
[Em]Running round town spending time[G]
like it's [Em]counter[G]feit
Everybody [Em]catching hay fever like sinuses
[G]Step in my arena [Em]let me show
y'all who the highness is
You might say I could be
doing something [G]positive
[D]Humble head down low[Em] and
broke like prom[G]ises
Soaking [Em]and broken in a joke like comics is
[G]Not [Em]enough paper to be paying
folks compliment[G]s
But [Em]when that paper got low
so did my tolerance
[D]And it ain't no truth [G]in a dare
[Em]without the [G]consequence
[Em]Listen if it not for these
hood inventions
I'd [G]just be an[Em]other kid from
the block with no intentions
[G]On the [Em]dock [G]of that [Bm]bay
serving a [G]life sentence
Even [D]if I'm [G]going to hell I'm
gonna make an entrance
Yeah let em know I'm [Em]getting
cheese like omelets [G]is
[Em]But I'm the toast of the
town like [Bm]Thomas'

[Verse 2]
We're all on a journey
[D]Down [Bm]the h[D]all of[A] memorie[D]s
[A]Don[D]'t wor[G]ry bout wha[Em]t
you ain't got
[G]Leave with a little [Em]bit of dignity
Never [Bm]loved what I had
Always [D]felt [Bm]like [D]I deserved more
But when I
[G]Make it to the other [Em]side
Make it to the other side
[G]That's when we'll settle
[Em]up the score

[Verse 3]
[Em][G]
Yo, we did this in re[Em]membrance [G]of
[D]Faces [G]from the past we no
[Em]longer have an image of
[G]Carrying cold blo[Em]od hearts that
never been for love
[G]Brothers keep going [Em]for theirs
but never get enough
World travelers that [G]seen
it all and did [D]enough
Only [G]to return to [Em]learn the [G]world
wasn't big enough
Damn, how long [Em]has it been?
I guess the jig is up
[G]Now all I know is I'm[Em] about
to wake this nigga up
Yeah that hind[G]sight,
[D]20 20, now
nig[G]gas dead on the money
Trying to take something [D]from me it's
a [G]wrap like a [Em]mummy
Undun I am becoming and when
[G]he's tired of [Em]running
Through the layers of the onion
He'll probably shed a tear cause
they'll [G]be no [Em]more fast times
[G]Just his weak mind scrolled
out like [Em]a bad[G] sign
He never had [Em]enough and got
confused when they asked why
Life is only a moment in time
and it passed by
[Bm]We're

[Verse 4]
all on a journey
[D]Down [Bm]the h[D]all of[A] memories[D][A]
[D]Don't [G]worry bout [Em]what you ain't got
[G]Leave with a little [Em]bit of dignity
Never [Bm]loved what I had
Always [D]felt [Bm]like [A]I des[D]erved more
But when I
[G]Make it to the other [Em]side
Make it to the other side
[G]That's when we'll settle
[Em]up the score

[Verse 5]
I'm [G]sitting on [D]top of [G]the world
ready to jump [D]off
Thinking of [Bm]various [G]ways to
breaking the law
Thinking that enough is [Em]enough
but still I want more
[G]Thinking of how I'm playing [Em]with
fire that burned my young boy
By any [G]means necessary,
don't give a damn
So every night I'm on [Bm]a
[Em]flight that [G]never lands
Be an asshole when [Em]the shit hits the fan
[G]Or bet your [Em]life on a bluff
and a bad hand
Can't win, can't lose
Get 'em gassed, leave 'em leaking fuel
[D]Eit[Em]her way the market moves
[G]Cash rules king[Em]s, queens,
prince and princess
[G]Every night I'm [Em]crossing a line
that ain't the finish
Every thought is dark as a
glass of [G]fucking [Em]Guinness
Too [D]far [Em]gone to [D]come back
[Em]to my se[D]nses[Em]
[D]Now [Em]I'm on the [G]edge [Em]of my
bed making love to my meds
Every [G]moment's like a
[Em]pistol to my head
When I'm getting mine

[Verse 6]
We're [Bm]all on a journey
[D]Down the [A]hall of memor[D]ies
[A]Don[D]'t wor[G]ry bout wha[Em]t
you ain't got
[G]Leave with a little [Em]bit of dignity
[Bm]Never loved what I had
Always [D]felt [A]like I deserved [D]more
[A]But whe[D]n I
[G]Make it to the other [Em]side
Make it to the other side
[G]That's when we'll settle [Em]up the score
