Am7Satan wanna put me in a bow-tie
Dm7Praying that the holy water don't go dry, yeah yeah
Am7As I look around me

Am7But an enemigo never drown me
In front of a Dm7dirty double-mirror they found me

Peace to Am7fashion police, I wear my heart
Dm7On my sleeve let the runway start

They wanna Am7say there's a war outside and a bomb in the street
And a Dm7gun in the hood and a mob of police
And a Am7rock on the corner and a line full of fiends
And a Dm7bottle full of lean and a model on a scheme, yup
Am7These days of frustration Dm7keep y'all on ducking rotation
Am7I duck these gold faces, Dm7post up fee-fi-fo-fum basis

GBlow steam in the face of the beast
FThe sky can fall down, the wind can cry now
EThe strong in me, I still smile

[Verse 3]
I went to Am7war last night
With an D/F#automatic weapon, don't nobody call a medic
I'm a do it 'til I get it right
I went to Am7war last night
I've been D/F#dealing with depression ever since an adolescent
Duckin' every other blessin', I can never see the message
I can Am7never take the lead, I can never bob and weave
From a negative and letting them annihilate me
And the D/F#sound is moving in a meteor speed
Finna run into a building and lay my body in the street
Keep my Am7money in the ceiling let my mama know I'm free
Give my story to the children and a lesson they can read
And the D/F#glory to the feeling of the only unseen
Seen enough, make a motherfucker scream, "I love myAm7self!"
[Spoken]
I lost my head, I must'D/F#ve misread what the good book said
Oh woAm7es keep me, it's a jungle inside
Give D/F#myself again 'til the well runs dry
[Outro]
Am7 G D/F# F
