Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Quick [D]question
You ever felt like the [F]realest nigga [Dm]alive?
[D]Felt too pretty or powerful[F] to die?
Tell the truth,
You ever felt ugly [C]enough [F]to cry?
Have you ever begged for mercy?
Have you ever wished you died?
Tell the [Bm]truth
Have you ever taken [C]pride in the crime?
[Bm]Been too hungry to break down [C]or hide?
Felt low down dirty? Or super
duper high?
Or contemplated murder,
robbery, or suicide?
[D]Tell the truth
Taken medicine for trouble
[F]in your min[Dm]d?[F]
[D]Or taken down a number? For
taking [F]up [D]a scheme?[F]
[D]I made [F]her wild,
beautiful [F#]take [F]her 'til she skeet?
Take her to the penthouse or take
her to the skreet?
Tell the [Bm]Truth
So the waterman he take it [C]to the beat
And I [Bm]take it to the 'mic
So we takin' [C]what we like
[Bm]Take [C]it to your neck
We gon' take it to the bank
Triple X, Killa K
Black we take it to your face
[D]Like, G "Bank bank"

[Verse 2]
[D]Gang[F]sta, [D]bir[F]th[D]
sign is [F]danger
It's like [Dm]thug [F]is the drug
[F#m]That make 'em fall i[F]n love
When love don't love [D]nobody[Bm]
Bank, bank
[C]Gangsta, [Bm]star sign is dang[C]er
It's like thug is the drug
Ready rock, steady pump
Man they leanin' and
they fiendin'
Cause they can't get [D]enough

[Verse 3]
The Dee- Jay play this [D]song
[F]in the dance
And every [D]buggy on the block
got the [Dm]tune [F]on blast
The TV is like the radio with visuals too
So shiny, so gutter, mean moody and cool
Tell the [Bm]truth
They might be doing things
that [C]you wanna' do
[Bm]You fantasize as they be livin[C]g it through
The big home with the beautiful view
You have a swim in the pool, and get fresh
And take a spin in the coupe
[D]Tell the truth
You probably want to feel
the world [F]in your palm
[D]While hold a gun in your hand
And make 'em know you [F]a star
Tell the truth
And there's those who
probably already are
They well known in they zone
Or they town or they block
Tell the [Bm]truth
Then there's the rest
who are [B]usu[C]ally not
And [Bm]the heavy dose of thug
feel like all [C]that they got

[Interlude 1]
So they ready to rock, R- r- rock
[C][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Gang[F]sta, [D]birth sign is dan[F]ger
It's like thug is the drug
That [F#m]make 'em f[F]all in love
When love don't love [C]nobody
Bank, bank
[Bm]Gangsta, star sign is [C]danger
It's like thug is the drug
Ready rock, steady pump
Man they leanin' and
they fiendin'
Cause they can't [D]get enough
