Verse 1
day one
G#m
F#
Somebody probably say you
wouldn't be nothin'
G#m
F#
G#m
I bet they told you this over an
F#
d over again on repeat like a re- run
G#m
Nobody ever told you you could live up
F#
To anything you want, don't give up
G#m
F#
They rather tell you, you're
G#m
F#m
destined for failure
That's what they tell you
But you just say
C#m
What about Martin?
G#m
What about Garvey?
What about Rosa?
What about Malcolm?
What if somebody told them
F#m
they would never be nothin'
And they believed this,
think about the outcome
C#m
G#m
Would we even be the way we are today?
Even if it weren't,
could have been a harder way
Even though we lost a lot
of people on the way
F#m
Had to sacrifice to get us in a better place
Verse 2
C#m
G#m
listen to these wizzords
All they want us thinking about is sipping
F#m
F#sus4
on some sizzurp
F#m
And they got us thinking something
C#m
G#m
better we don't deserve
And that you shouldn't try, it's no use
F#m
But that couldn't be further
from the truth
Don't believe it,
C#m
G#m
that's what they told me too
When I was growing up
(They told me)
F#m
They told me (That I
C#m
wouldn't make it too far)
G#m
And when I battle it'll hold up
F#m
(They told me) They told me,
yeah
(That I wouldn't be anything)
Verse 3
what they tell, what they tell
When we were little ones
F#m
That's what they tell,
what they tell, what they tell
They supposed to be king
G#m
That's what they tell,
what they tell, what they tell
When we don't believe them
That's what they tell,
F#m
what they tell, what they tell
F#sus4
Trying to live
C#m
the American Dream
Verse 4
C#m
F#m
F#
They say the ballers is celebrities
As a reminder of the people
they would never be
F#m
Jealousy got 'em sick
without a remedy
Thinking when I die nobody's
gonna remember me
G#m
I was told that nobody care
F#
So the dreams that I had
turned to nightmares
G#m
F#m
G#m
Is this thing called life really fair
Need help but it ain't there
C#m
So you know it's really hard
G#m
to stay dedicated
When the ballers screaming
they was never educated
On the corner getting high just
'Cause the teachers just told
him he would never make it
C#m
Now he feeling like he made
G#m
it 'cause he stackin' paper
But probably won't let him
spend the money later
Nobody ever told us we could
To everybody on the grind
and the paper chasers
C#m
I hope you listen
Verse 5
G#m
to these wizzords
All they want us thinking about is
F#m
F#sus4
sipping on some sizzurp
F#m
And they got us thinking something
C#m
better we don't deserve
G#m
And that you shouldn't try, it's no use
F#m
But that couldn't be fur
ther from the truth
Don't believe it,
C#m
G#m
that's what they told me too
When I was growing up (They told me)
F#m
They told me (That I wouldn't
G#m
And when I battle it'll hold up
F#m
(They told me) They told me,
yeah
C#m
(That I wouldn't be anything)

G#m
That's what they tell,
what they tell, what they tell
When we were little ones

what they tell
We're supposed to be king
