Tonart: A minor•
Verse 1
Am
[Chorus]
You live, you die
Dm
And spend the years in between
asking the question
Am
through what you been
You lose, you win
Dm
You even pay for other sins
E
But you most always adore the skin
Verse 2
[Black Thought] I woke up and it was pouring down rain
E
Am
it really wasn't no thing
E
One of them days I was feeling
Threw on, Alice Coltrane,
smoked and sang
Verse 3
Am
And wrote this flame compused to
Dm
the rhythm of the droplets
And went whispering simliar to gossip
E
Am
The kick slapping at the window glass
Dm
Slow down the globe so
Am
it don't spin too fast
Verse 4
Am
Because, I been running
like a river since
Dm
The age of my early innocence
E
It just made me ambitious
Verse 5
My grams used to tell me "Man listen,
don't step into the kitchen"
You muscle your turn,
E
the laws of the land viscious
Dm
We gotta stick to the plan, which is
Am
whether we trade stock or wash dishes
Verse 6
Throughout setbacks and few glitches
The Big Picture's the focus,
fuckin being hopeless
Dm
Or helpless,
E
we not selfish so we wrote this
Am
Give it to ya, make you feel good
Dm
E
Am
Know what
Dm
E
I'm talkin
[Chorus]
Verse 7
Am
[Black Thought] Yo from
the parquet floors
to the fifty foot ceiling
E
Am
I pull the heavy black curtain back,
now revealing
E
The sun beneath the velvet,
and like it was mine
Verse 8
Am
No one elses, embracing the beams yo,
I felt it
And stood there,
feeling it, getting charged
E
Dm
Turn me loose upon the streets,
Out in the world,
up against tremendous odds
Verse 9
Am
Some'll let it break em and throw
in they cards
But my squad remain focus
when we goin for ours
Am
do it for chains or do it for cars
do it for lames or do it for broads
Verse 10
Am
And we don't, do it for fame,
we do it because
It's for the young black gifted mind
Dm
E
Liv ing the story of the most
E
Turbulent times swirled around
they dome like a turban
Verse 11
Am
It get s disturbing, feelin alone in the urban
But maintain ya grip for just a little bit
Dm
I'd tell you it's all good
but that's bullshit
E
Let's just try to feel good,
Am
yeah...know what I'm talkin bout
Verse 12
Am
[Amel Larrieux] A spirit
Dm
knows we're meant to blow
Am
the seat of your soul
Dm
You past it all and seeds
your soul
E
Am
Are destined to grow even after you go
