Tonart: E minor
Verse 1
C
Em
C
Yeah, this is for anyone who's ever
Or a fucked up childhood,
C
Em
never lose hope
Verse 2
C
See I was raised by a single mother
Em
No father figure, little sister,
never had a brother
C
Never had another man teach
me how to be one
Yeah, momma had a man,
Em
but he was never calling me son
And even if he did,
C
yo I would never take him serious
Cause people say they love me,
Cause I don't think they know
Cause love ain't when you hurt a person
Em
Love ain't avoiding the problem,
you should be getting involved
C
Love ain't, when you pick somebody
up by the neck
Em
Then you grab his head and you
slam it right into the wall
C
I was a troubled kid in school,
so I just kept to myself
Em
Psychologists ordered me medicine,
it never did help
C
Cause every time I took it, I was never myself
I never had a strap next to my belt
C
Just a regular kid that
never joined the sports team
Em
And every time I'd tried to talk
to a girl, she'd ignore me
C
Started hanging around stupid
kids and broke a few laws
Em
Had a few problems, painted a few walls
C
But one day, something happened
Em
that changed my life forever
Something that I'll always remember
C
I said one day, something happened
Em
that changed my life forever
Something that I'll always remember,
check

Verse 3
Em
C
I was walking home after school
Em
with two friends from my class
And then I seen a sketchy
But at the time I didn't think of it much
Em
Cause around here there's always sketchy cats,
tweakers and such
C
So I just kept walking till I got
to King's Drive
Em
Then seen a bunch of motherfuckers
giving me the stink eye
C
They started surrounding
me, stopped me in my place
Em
And right outside the circle
I seen a familiar face
C
A cat that I used to be tight with
Em
Never had no problems with him
But I guess he's smoking
some nice shit
C
He came right towards me
I said, "Fuck it, then fine,
Em
let's catch a fair one"
Then caught a cheap shot from behind
C
I ran, they tripped me and
caught me
They stomped me and kicked me
punches to my ribs and my kidneys
C
Then what happened next,
you just might not believe
Em
But everybody scattered,
I was trying to breathe
C
Students, parents, and teachers,
their watching me bleed
Em
But nobody did shit,
C
I was watching them leave
As I was dying, bleeding,
losing my conscious
Em
Flashed backs of reminders of things
I've never accomplished
C
Everything turned white,
then everything was fine
Em
No more worries, nothing on my mind
I guess it was my time
Em
Then my whole life flashed
C
right in front of my eyes
But all of the sudden I
snapped back to reality
Em
Took a look around but no ambulance
was surrounding me
C
Guess this is how it ends, huh?
I guess this is what my momma meant
Em
when she said watch your friends, huh?
Guess I should have listened,
Taking my last breath getting
Em
C
closer to my fate
And right when I felt
I was good with dying
Em
A voice in my head said, "Don't stop,
keep trying"
Em
walked to school and dialed nine one one
True story,
C
fuck what you think you could do for me
Fifteen years old, just another victim
Em
Just another kid that
would end up dead or in prison
Em
the doctor said they don't know if I'mma live
Immediate surgery tube through my ribs
C
Em
I could barely breathe, I was bleeding out
yeah I can see him now
With a collapsed lung
and two stab wounds
I'm losing blood quick,
C
but I ain't going that soon
Everybody left, but I had strength in myself
that's what I say to myself
I kept on breathing
Em
Almost paralyzed for the next
three weekends
C
Private numbers calling,
death threats to my family
Em
Even named my little sis,
so how can you be mad at me
C
When I told you that I fear for our safety
Em
Cause no street cred is worth
They asked me who it was
and I let em' know
Em
I ain't ashamed of my choice
and I don't regret it yo
C
Cause truth is, I don't follow no one's rules
Em
I do what I feel's right,
I ain't no one's mule
C
The whole thing was recorded
and put up online
Em
But you should know, if you can't do the time,
don't do the crime
C
See I ain't no G, just a man with a passion
Em
But I always took responsibility
for my actions
C
I never hurt a soul in my life,
C
Always kept my word, so tell me
how bad of a man I am
Cause when it comes down to it,
C
And we all gotta survive,
Em
do what you gotta do
C
Fifteen years old, left in the dust
Em
The world taught me never to
love and never to trust
C
Nah, but now I know my purpose,
Em
now I know what I'm here for
Now I know what I've been waiting
all these years for
C
Fifteen years old, left in the dust
Em
The world taught me never to
love and never to trust
C
Nah, but now I know my purpose,
now I know what I'm here for
Em
Now I know why I've been waiting
all these years
