                          Akon feat. OG Boo Dirty - Show Up
Em    G    Am
Em    G    Am
[Akon]
Em            G        Am
Mama hold her head and cry
      Em          G                 Am
Cause her son had been shut down on the streets and died
Em     G      Am
    Oh why oh why?
        C          G   Am
Is what she cries      She cries.
Em              G                   Am
    The biggest problems in the cities
                             Em
Is them daddies ain't there
          G                   Am
And if it ain't about the money
                       Em
Then nobody don't care
           G            Am                                 C
And then I spoke to an OG trying ment to me said boy these streets 
         G                   Am
suck the love right out your heart
So don't believe that bullshit.
Em            G                   Am
     You know god damn well these niggaz won't show up
          Em
(oh no no noo)
         G                   Am
You know god damn well These bitches will grow up
            Em                        G                Am
I'm sinking down to the ground of the ghettos We can't get no lower
               C                            G
So I' m askin' God How we can dig ourselves out?
           Am
We can't afford a shovel
Em               G                        Am                                              Em
    If there's a problem in the hood everybody comes together Just to solve that problem
               G                     Am                                                Em
But that's the problem in the hood nobody comes together unless she involved violence
              G                           Am                                              C
Cause we were taught to be the tough guys     And we were told just to remake silence
                        G                        Am                                                   Em
The you got them niggaz telling on the next guys     Stand and tell them what it takes to solve them
           G                    Am            Em
Is there a problem that I don't know about?
           G                      Am            Em
Is there a problem that I haven't heard about?
                  G                 Am
Sad sick kids are robbin each other Prostitues and drug dealers
         C                  G                          Am
We won't get much further unless we start helping each other
But they're none believers will say
Em            G                   Am
     You know god damn well these niggaz won't show up
          Em
(oh no no noo)
         G                   Am
You know god damn well These bitches will grow up
            Em                        G                Am
I'm sinking down to the ground of the ghettos We can't get no lower
               C                            G
So I' m askin' God How we can dig ourselves out?
           Am
We can't afford a shovel
