[Intro]

| F#m| G| F#m|G  
[Verse 1]
I got anF#mgels running 'way, I got deGmons hunting me
I know F#m'Pac was 25, GI know Jesus 33
I tell F#mDeath to keep a distance, I think Ghe obsessed with me
I say "GF#mod, that's the one," I know she would die for me
They want a bF#marcode on my wristG  
To aF#muction off the kids that don't fit their description of a utGopia (black)
Like a problem won't exist if F#mI just don't exist
If I grew up wGithout a single pot to piss in
Pardon me for venting
F#mCongress got the nerve to call itself relGigious
Rich just getting richer, Bmwe just tryna live our F#mlife
[Chorus]
Momma mixed the vodka with the SGprite
They killed my cousin with a pocket knife
While my uncle on the F#mphone
F#mHe was gone for more than half my lGife
He got out a year and then he died
I was on the roF#mad
Talking to my father on the pGhone
Left the city when I was just four
None of them would get alF#mong
Momma begging him for winter cGlothes
I was chilling with my nigga Spook
Now they tryna take his
[Post-Chorus]
F#mLife don't mean shit to a nigga tGhat ain't never had shit, yuh
F#mLight don't mean lit in the dark, fiGght don't mean fists, ooh
F#mEyes don't see, eGyes don't see, ice don't freeze
F#mLight don't leave, GI don't mean lie to me
[Bridge]
F#mTell me I'll be okay, tell me happier days
Tell me that she my bae, that I won't be alAone
F#mTell 'em I'll be okay, when he ask how's my day
Tell 'em that we the same, tell em' that we not safe
[Verse 2]
I got F#mmy grandaddy soul, GI'm at war that's on my mind
I seen WF#malter body cold, wGish I could switch it with mine
I'm not F#mworried bout no rap shit, disGtractions or wasted tBmimes
I still F#Mgo to social functions even though I'm so anti
No I'm no RiF#mhanna, the court gonna throw it like Donovan
GDown a bit, I just been moF#mdeling my whole career as if Pac was here
Studio mGonitors shaking, I raise the apartments
I'm bonded with pF#mrofit, I made what I made, and allGot it
Amount of time that's in my mind the time you was watching
So sF#mtop comparing me to people, no I am not them
A Glot of people dream until they sBmhit or get
That's lF#mife
[Chorus]
Momma mixed the vodka with the SGprite
They killed my cousin with a pocket knife
While my uncle on the F#mphone
F#mHe was gone for more than half my lGife
He got out a year and then he died
I was on the roF#mad
Talking to my father on the pGhone
Left the city when I was just four
None of them would get alF#mong
Momma begging him for winter cGlothes
I was chilling with my nigga Spook
