[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
AmPeace, no material possessions shall cloud my judgement
AmAs I reach, in an ethereal diDmrection to provide my sEmubstance
AmLove is not found but resides insides me, I manifest this
AmI will respect myself and weaDmr serenity as my necklaEmce
AmI will replace what I take and have tranquility as my breakfast
AmShed a new light on a new patDmhEm  
AmI will gain rhythm and lose wrath, attain wisdom and refuse graft
AmAnd build upon what I built oDmn and wisely regulate tEmime I do have
Am'Cause what is defeat? But just the evidence of my haste
AmLack of preparedness, in my wDmaste, so I waitEm  
AmSurround myself with nutrition, wholesomeness and true livin'
AmUse natural codes of conduct Dmto remove schism when tEmhe rules missin'
AmI will pursue felicity, find value in simplicity
AmAltruism and empathy will be Dmthe first thing extendeEmd to my enemy
AmClarity will be the trademark of my friendships
AmJust invest in my business anDmd appreciative of the rEmarity of my existence
[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
Am'Cause I got chillin' by the million, tAmranquillo by the kilo
AmNigga, nigga, what, and I got kDmilos by the spEmeedboat
AmAnd I ain't talkin' 'bout them drugs
AmI'm talkin' 'bout that love
DmFor myself and all my niggas
EmAll my bitches and all my thugs, what's up?
Am'Cause I got chillin' by the million, tAmranquillo by the kilo
AmNigga, nigga, what, and I got kDmilos by the spEmeedboat
AmAnd I ain't talkin' 'bout that work
AmI'm talkin' 'bout that worth
DmOf myself and all my niggas
EmEvery diamond came out the dirt, nigga
[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
AmI got bitches on bitches, all my dreams and my visions
AmI remember me fishin' out of caDmnals in the trEmenches
AmNow a nigga be flossy, Rolls Royce lookin' glossy
AmQuick to put down a demo to get Dmthese haters Emup off me
AmI like to smoke to myself, I just try to improve
AmLet my son hold my strap while DmI swim laps in Emthe pool
AmTold my daughter the rules which we all must abide
AmYour daddy was far from perfectDm, things we diEmd to survive
AmI just wanted to fly, they always lookin' down on us
AmSchool district full of killersDm, I mean these Emniggas ferocious
AmOnly violence and drugs, there was nothin' for us
AmAll I had was this music, I couDmldn't afford tEmo do much
[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
Am'Cause I got chillin' by the million, tAmranquillo by the kilo
AmNigga, nigga, what, and I got kDmilos by the spEmeedboat

EmEvery diamond came out the dirt, nigga
[Verse 3: Big K.R.I.T.]
AmYoung nigga say, ball
Am'Cause he ain't really livin' life 'less he's down to roll the dice
AmPut it all on the line for a couple dollars
AmAnd a bad bitch that only think Dmabout him if Emhe, call
AmIs it really worth the time and the effort?
AmChasin' wood grain and the leather
AmPuttin' pressure on the pedal, I don't want the devil
AmHopin' he, fallDm  Em  
AmFeed him to his nonsense, mothafuck a contract
AmYou don't need a handout, they gon' bring the bands out
AmChoppas make 'em stand down, goDmod LordEm  
AmBut you don't wanna be another nigga
AmChasin' figures that never really add up
AmWhite folk pass your face
AmDyin' in the grass 'cause they Dmwouldn't call Emthe, law
Am'Cause you're hooded, black and they think you're sellin' crack
AmMaybe so, you don't give a fuck in a rut, nigga
Am'Til those in the street got you stuck, nigga, what, nigga?
AmBuck, buck, niggaDm  Em  
AmBuried your partner just the other day knowin' he was too young
AmHad a tool, tryna roll on the folk
AmLet it go on the folk but he wasn't down to shoot one
AmThough the time dead and gone, Dmis YOLO what wEme on?
AmI heard different, it's never tDmoo late to lisEmten and be reborn
AmYoung nigga, young nigga, young nigga, go be reborn
AmPeace and understandin' is what Dmyou should be Emon

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

Peace, no material possessions shall cloud my judgement

Am Dm Em

As I reach, in an ethereal direction to provide my substance

Love is not found but resides insides me, I manifest this

Am Dm Em

I will respect myself and wear serenity as my necklace

I will replace what I take and have tranquility as my breakfast

Am Dm Em

Shed a new light on a new path

I will gain rhythm and lose wrath, attain wisdom and refuse graft

Am Dm Em

And build upon what I built on and wisely regulate time I do have

'Cause what is defeat? But just the evidence of my haste

Am Dm Em

Lack of preparedness, in my waste, so I wait

Surround myself with nutrition, wholesomeness and true livin'

Am Dm Em

Use natural codes of conduct to remove schism when the rules missin'

I will pursue felicity, find value in simplicity

Am Dm Em

Altruism and empathy will be the first thing extended to my enemy

Clarity will be the trademark of my friendships

Am Dm Em

Just invest in my business and appreciative of the rarity of my existence

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]

Am Am

'Cause I got chillin' by the million, tranquillo by the kilo

Am Dm Em

Nigga, nigga, what, and I got kilos by the speedboat

And I ain't talkin' 'bout them drugs

I'm talkin' 'bout that love

For myself and all my niggas

All my bitches and all my thugs, what's up?

Am Am

'Cause I got chillin' by the million, tranquillo by the kilo

Am Dm Em

Nigga, nigga, what, and I got kilos by the speedboat

And I ain't talkin' 'bout that work

I'm talkin' 'bout that worth

Of myself and all my niggas

Every diamond came out the dirt, nigga

[Verse 2: Rick Ross]

I got bitches on bitches, all my dreams and my visions

Am Dm Em

I remember me fishin' out of canals in the trenches

Now a nigga be flossy, Rolls Royce lookin' glossy

Am Dm Em

Quick to put down a demo to get these haters up off me

I like to smoke to myself, I just try to improve

Am Dm Em

Let my son hold my strap while I swim laps in the pool

Told my daughter the rules which we all must abide

Am Dm Em

Your daddy was far from perfect, things we did to survive

I just wanted to fly, they always lookin' down on us

Am Dm Em

School district full of killers, I mean these niggas ferocious

Only violence and drugs, there was nothin' for us

Is it really worth the time and the effort?

Chasin' wood grain and the leather

Puttin' pressure on the pedal, I don't want the devil

Am Dm Em

Hopin' he, fall

Feed him to his nonsense, mothafuck a contract

You don't need a handout, they gon' bring the bands out

Am Dm Em

Choppas make 'em stand down, good Lord

But you don't wanna be another nigga

Chasin' figures that never really add up

White folk pass your face

Am Dm Em

Dyin' in the grass 'cause they wouldn't call the, law

'Cause you're hooded, black and they think you're sellin' crack

Maybe so, you don't give a fuck in a rut, nigga

Am Dm Em

Buck, buck, nigga

Buried your partner just the other day knowin' he was too young

Had a tool, tryna roll on the folk

Let it go on the folk but he wasn't down to shoot one

Am Dm Em

Though the time dead and gone, is YOLO what we on?

Am Dm Em

I heard different, it's never too late to listen and be reborn

Young nigga, young nigga, young nigga, go be reborn

Am Dm Em

Peace and understandin' is what you should be on
