Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]24 7,
I'm in trouble for nothing
To the [Em]laws on the topic,
of they daily discussion
Blood [Bm]pumping and rushing,
I gotta struggle to survive
I be [C]rapping but I can do

[Verse 2]
with a nine to five
[Bm]Long as it be legal, I be willin' to try
All I need [Am]is a pair of wings,
I be willing to fly
Trying to get a piece of the [C]pie
and ain't I taking I work for it
I be doing right,

[Verse 3]
but I'm being punished on earth for it
[G]What else can I do,
to make it on this scene?
Seem [Em]like whatever I do,
will get me up in prison
Never [Bm]see me on the corner,
never caught me with crack
Got a [C]dream of leaving the ghetto
and ain't coming back

[Verse 4]
Homicide [Bm]detectives trying
to threaten me with some time
Only [A]thing I ever murdered,
was col[Am]lege ruled lines
It's a pat[C]ent punishment,
in America's design
Arrested and incarcerated for other peoples crimes,
it's so [G]amazing

[Verse 5]
[Em]Oh, sometime, one time,
[Bm]ster[C]eotype me[Bm]
Jewelry, jewelry and [Am]gold teeth
[C]They swear, swear,
I've got to be running [G]drugs
But I am just [Em]a, just a [Bm]man

[Verse 6]
Trying to stay [C]Satan [Bm]free
Through hell is where they're
tak[Am]ing me
I swore, [C]so amazing, to be a thug
A true, true hero under [D]God's sight,
from [G]above

[Verse 7]
Everyday, everyday I see my
people in poverty
And when I [Em]say my people,
I mean everybody I see
And no dis[Bm]crimination,
on Caucasian or Asian
Or [C]Mexican, Samoan,

[Verse 8]
lesbians or the gay men
[Bm]Everybody got a day to die
and they won't miss it
Better [Am]be ready for company
when death come visit
Man, I [C]wish Adam and Eve,
wouldn't been in the garden
Now, the devil swinging at me, got me
weaving and bobbing

[Verse 9]
Hom[G]ies are being murdered
by lieutenants to sergeants
[Em]Like weez, we uprooted just
as soon we harvest
Search[Bm]ing for sunshines, suffocated
by darkness
Look[C]ing for Gods,
in the God's heavenly fortress

[Verse 10]
They [Bm]tell me when I make it, there'll
be no more pain
Ain't gotta [Am]be nervous,
about somebody knowing your name
Every[C]body is your family,
it's love around you
Even on earth, God is your upper
when people down you so [G]amazing

[Verse 11]
Am I [Em]cursed,
while on this [Bm]earth
'Cause I can't find, bet[C]ter [Bm]days
But still, I give the [Am]Lord praise
Even [C]though, though,
these pirates request my [G]blood

[Verse 12]
But I am just [Em]a, just a man, tryin' to[Bm],
tryin' to stay [C]Satan free
[Bm]Through hell is where they're
tak[Am]ing me
I swore, [C]it's so amazing, to be a thug
[G]A true, t[C]rue hero under G[D]od's sight,
from above

[Verse 13]
The weight [G]of,
weight of my stress is like a fifty ton boulder
Mak[Em]ing my head heavy,
can't be lifted by my shoulders
No [Bm]wonder why my head down,
I be thinking too hard
And be [C]smoking like a tail
pipe and drinking too hard

[Verse 14]
I de[Bm]cided to give it up
and give it to God
Instead of [Am]living in the world,
I'ma live in the Lord
Gave up [C]cussing this time while
I'm spitting my bars
With a vision of me in prison
that vision is fraud

[Verse 15]
Investig[G]ators cookin', cookin' the case,
cookin' too hard
I know they know,
I didn't [Em]do it 'cause they looking for Claude
[Bm]Nobody hollin' at me,
got me feeling like an outlaw
Had a [C]case against a brother
but I broke it apart

[Verse 16]
No weapon [Bm]formed against me shall prosper,
if it's written
Even [Am]though machetes
be cutting and guns be spitting
I got a [C]Satan proof vest on, stopping
the devil head on
With Jesus I'ma stop him but that's
some'ing you can bet on, [G]amazing

[Verse 17]
Oh, [Em]sometime, one, one time,
[Bm]ster[C]eotype me[Bm]
The jewelry and [Am]gold teeth
Swear, [C]swear,
I've got to be running [G]drugs

[Verse 18]
But I [Em]am just a, just a man,
[Bm]trying to stay Satan[C] free
[Bm]Through hell is where they're
tak[Am]ing me
I swore, [C]it's so amazing, to be [G]a t[C]hug
A true, true hero under [D]God's sight,
