Intro:  Dm   Am   Bb   F   C/Ex4
Now, Dmthis is my job, I will Amnot quit it
PulBbled me out the depths when FI thought that I was C/Efinished
YeaDmh I questioned if I could Amgo the distance
ThaBbt's just the workF, regardless of who's listeniC/Eng, listening
LiDmsten, see I was meanAmt to be a warrior
FigBbht something amongst me, Fleave here victorC/Eious
ClDmassroom of kids, or a Amvenue performing
If I'd Bbdone it for the moneFy I'd have been C/Ea fucking lawyer
ConcreDmte, vagabond, van tAmelling stories
HumblBbed by the road, I'm Frealizing I'm noC/Et important
See Dmlife's a beautiful strAmuggle, I record it
Hope Bbit helps you maneuveriFng through yourC/Es and
ThaDmt's why we stay in tAmhe lab at night
I've Bbbeen staring into thiFs pad for over haC/Elf my life
A true Dmartist won't be sAmatisfied
So BbI guess that's the sFacrifice
C/EAnd I say
[Hook]
MakDme the money, don't let Amthe money make you
ChBbange the game, don't Flet the game cC/Ehange you
I'Dmll forever reAmmain faithful
AlBbl my people stFay true, C/EI say
DmMake the money, donAm't let the money make you
ChBbange the game, dFon't let the C/Egame change you
I'Dmll forever remAmain faithful
All Bbmy people stFay trueC/E  
[Verse 2]
Forget about the fame, fortune and the mansion
Sitting and tripping watching myself on a plasma
Yeah, I start slipping when I'm thinking about that stuff
Ego won't swole until karma catches that up, that up
I'm my grandma's number one grandson
I lost myself to remember who that was
We start thinking about some kicks, necklace
What I really need is a job off CraigsList
Take away the dot com, name, love
Fans, Twitter followers, and the buzz
See, you keep the issues but you take away the drugs
And I had to find out who I really was
Who I really wasn't
So sick of who I was becoming
Yeah, tired of running
Time to look at the man in the mirror until I can learn to love him
[Hook]
[Bridge x2]
Of course I want dubs and a candy painted 'lac
Watch the videos and get the girls in the back
But if that's what I believe in, and the reason that I rap
Uncle Sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track
[Hook]
Forget about the fame
I said forget about the fame
I'll forever remain faithful
Stay true, stay true, stay true
Play the progression through the Bridge and the Outro.
