[Pre-Chorus 1]
D9sus4Cold stares can DM7never put the fear in me
What we D9sus4built here is godly

(D9sus4Let's go shake down) And let it C9sus4fall like the lF7eaves, I wanna know
[Verse 2]
D9sus4We couldn't stand to see our DM7children shot dead in the streets
D9sus4But when I finally took a kneeC9sus4  
Them crackers F7took me out the league
D9sus4Now I'm not DM7much for games, but I play for keeps
D9sus4And we salute King James for C9sus4using his change
To create some F7equal opportunities
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D9sus4Cold stares can DM7never put the fear in me
There's a D9sus4movement we've been groovin' on
You can C9sus4move or stay your ass aF7sleep
D9sus4Let's just not DM7talk about it
D9sus4Everything they tried to hide
C9sus4We're taking back for yours and mine
[Chorus]

What about the C9sus4neighbors? Coming with me
What about the Bm7seed? It's coming with me
The people that you B9sus4came with? Coming with B7b9me
