CAPO 7
[Hook A]
Call my Adoctor, call my Dlawyer
Call my Abrother, call my Bm7priest
There's Apaperwork to Dfill out
Cause a Gdead man walks the Gstreets
Cause my sAister has a Dbest friend
That I've Aknown since I was Bm7three
And nAow I'm gon' get sDtrangled
Cause we tGangled in the Gsheets
[Hook B]
My homies like "Adead man, Ddead man walking"A  Bm7  
My homies like "Ayou a dead man, Ddead man walkiGng"G  
[Verse 1]
ABeautiful Dfamily friend is AsheBm7  
AAlmost a Ddecade older than GmeG  
And I've been gAone for quite a Dwhile oveArseas, Bm7yeah...
And Ashe's been living Dup in AlbGanyG  
Then I had Atwo shows I played Dup state
She came to sAhow love and see Bm7my face
Then we got dArinks and we chilled likDe "hey"
G-
And then from there it was, you know it was like.
[Hook A]
Call my Adoctor, call my Dlawyer
Call my Abrother, call my Bm7priest
There's Apaperwork to Dfill out
Cause a Gdead man walks the Gstreets
Cause my sAister has a Dbest friend
That I've Aknown since I was Bm7three
And nAow I'm gon' get sDtrangled
Cause we tGangled in the Gsheets
[Hook B]
My homies like "Adead man, Ddead man walking"A  Bm7  
My homies like "Ayou a dead man, Ddead man walkiGng"G  
My homies like "Adead man, Ddead man walking"A  Bm7

[Verse 2]
Now she's like "ADamn!
How did we Dlet this happen, dAamn!
How did we Bm7end up in this bed Athen?"
I said "rDelax" and laughed like
G"This would be a pretty Gdope song."
She's like "Ano, I swear to DGod I'll kill you
ANo, I really Bm7will just take your life
ANo, don't even Dthink about it
But tGhat would be a pretty Gdope song."
So I came Ahome and I called mDy friends
Then we got smaAcked and I wrote tBm7his jam
I know for a fAact that I'm gonna Dbe dead
G-
It's over, My life is dead ass over.
[Hook A]
Call my Adoctor, call my Dlawyer
Call my Abrother, call my Bm7priest
There's Apaperwork to Dfill out
Cause a Gdead man walks the Gstreets
Cause my sAister has a Dbest friend
That I've Aknown since I was Bm7three
And nAow I'm gon' get sDtrangled
Cause we tGangled in the Gsheets
[Hook B]
My homies like "Adead man, Ddead man walking"A  Bm7
