Verse 1
A
Ebm
I woke up this morning and figured
C#m
I'd call you In case I'm not here tomorrow
E
Ebm
B
I'm hoping that I can borrow a piece of mind
C#
I'm behind on what's really important
G#m
My mind is real ly distorted
G#
A
I find nothing but trouble in my life
Ebm
I'm fortunate you believe in a dream
C#m
This orphanage we call a ghetto
Ebm
is quite a routine
B
C#
And last night was just another distraction
G#m
Or a reaction of what we consider madness
G#
I know exactly what happened
A
You ran outside when you heard
Ebm
my brother cry for help
C#m
Held him like a newborn baby
E
Ebm
and made him feel
B
Like everything was alright
C#
And a fight he tried to put up, but the type
G#m
G#
Of bullet that stuck had went against his will
A
As blood spillled on your hands
Ebm
my plan's rather vindictive
C#m
E
Everybody's a victim in my eyes
Ebm
B
When I ride it's a murderous rhythm
C#
G#m
And outside became pitch black
G#
A demon glued to my back whispering,
"Get 'em"
A
Ebm
I got 'em, and I ain't give a fuck
That same mentality
C#m
E
that told my brother not to duck
B
C#
It's a trip how we trip off of colors
G#m
I wonder if I'll ever discover
G#
A passion like you and recover
A
The life that I knew as a young'n
Ebm
In pajamas and Dun-ta-duns
C#m
When thunder comes
E
Ebm
it rains cats and dogs
B
C#
Dumb niggas like me never prosper
G#m
Prognosis of a problem child
G#
I'm proud and well devoted
A
Ebm
This Piru shit been in me forever
C#m
So forever I'ma push it,
E
Ebm
wherever whenever
C#
'cause you love my brother like you did
G#m
Just promise me you'll tell this story
G#
when you make it big
Chorus 2

And if I die before your album drop

Ebm
about my sister on your tape
C#m
And called it Section.80,
Ebm
"Brenda's Got a Baby"
B
C#
What's crazy was, I was hearin' about it
G#m
But doubted your ignorance,
how could you ever
G#
Just put her on blast and shit?
A
Ebm
Judging her past and shit?
C#m
Well it's completely my future
E
A nigga behind me right now
Ebm
asking for ass and shit
B
C#
And I'ma need that forty dollars
even if I gotta
G#m
G#
Fuck, suck and swallow in the parking lot
A
Gonzales Park, I'm followed
Ebm
by a married man, a father of three
C#m
My titties bounce on the cadence
E
Ebm
of his tingling keys
B
Matter of fact he my favorite
C#
'cause he tip me with E's
G#m
He got a cousin named David
G#
and I seen him last week
A
This is the life of another girl
Ebm
damaged by the system
C#m
These foster homes,
E
Ebm
I run away and never do miss 'em
B
See, my hormones just run away
C#
and if I can get em back
G#m
To where they used to be
G#
then I'll prob'ly be in the denim
A
Ebm
Of a family gene that show women
how to be woman,
C#m
or better yet a leader
E
Ebm
You need her to learn something,
B
then you probably need to beat her
C#
That's how I was taught
G#m
Three niggas in one room,
G#
first time I was tossed
Ebm
But fuck that "Sorry for your loss" shit
C#m
My sister died in vain,
E
Ebm
but what point are you tryna gain
B
If you can't fit the pumps I walk in?
C#
G#m
I'll wait
G#
Your rebuttal a little too late
A
And if you have a album date,
Ebm
just make sure I'm not in the song
C#m
'Cause I don't need the attention
E
Ebm
bring enough of that on my own
B
And matter fact did I mention
C#
that I physically feel great?
G#m
G#
A doctor's approval is a waste of time,
I know I'm straight
A
I'll probably live longer than you
Ebm
and never fade away
C#m
E
I'll never fade away, I'll never fade away
Ebm
I know my fate, and I'm
B
on the grind for this cake
C#
I'ma get it or die trying
G#m
I'm eyeing every male gender
G#
with intentions of buying
A
You lying to these motherfuckers,
Ebm
C#m
talkin' 'bout you can help me with my story
You can help me
E
Ebm
if you sell this pussy for me, nigga
B
Don't ignore me, nigga,
C#
fuck your glory, nigga, you ain't shit
G#m
G#

Verse 3
A
Ebm
Sometimes I look in a mirror and ask myself
C#m
Am I really scared of passing away
E
Ebm
B
If it's today I hope I hear a
Cry out from Heaven so loud
C#
it can water down a demon
G#m
With the Holy Ghost 'til it drown
G#
in the blood of Jesus
A
Ebm
I wrote some raps that make sure
that my lifeline
C#m
Reekin' the scent of a reaper,
E
Ebm
ensuring that my allegiance
B
C#
With the other side may come soon
G#m
And if I'm doomed, may the wound
G#
Help my mother be blessed for many moons
Ebm
And every day that glass mirror
C#m
get tougher to watch
E
Ebm
I tie my stomach in knots
B
C#
And I'm not sure why I'm infatuated with death
G#m
My imagination is surely
G#
an aggravation of threats
Ebm
'Cause the tongue is mighty powerful
C#m
And I can name a list
E
Ebm
of your favorites that probably vouch
B
Maybe 'cause I'm a dreamer
C#
and sleep is the cousin of death
G#m
Really stuck in the scheme of,
G#
wondering when I'ma rest
A
And you're right, your brother
Ebm
was a brother to me
C#m
And your sister's situation
E
Ebm
was the one that put me
B
In a direction to speak on something
C#
that's realer than the TV screen
G#m
G#
By any means, wasn't trying to offend
or come between
A
Ebm
Her personal life, I was like
"It need to be told"
E
Ebm
of twenty generations after her soul
B
Exactly what'da happened
C#
if I ain't continue rappin'
G#m
Or steady being distracted
G#
by money, drugs and four
Ebm
all on these songs
C#m
Look at the weak and cry,
E
Ebm
pray one day you'll be strong
B
Fighting for your rights,
C#
even when you're wrong
G#m
And hope that at least one of you
G#
sing about me when I'm gone
Chorus 4
A
Ebm
Am I worth it?
C#m
Did I put enough work in?
E
Ebm
B
C#
Promise that you will sing about me
G#m
G#
Promise that you will sing about me
A
I said when the lights shut off
Ebm
C#m
And it's my turn to settle down

Promise that you will sing about me

Promise that you will sing about me

Outro 1
Fuck! I'm tired of this shit!
I'm tired of fuckin' runnin'
I'm tired of this shit!
My brother, homie!
Is that what I think that is?
I know that's not what I think that is
Why are you so angry?
See, you young men are dying of thirst
Do you know what that means?
That means you need water, holy water
You need to be baptized,
with the spirit of the Lord
Do you want to receive God
as your personal savior?
Okay, repeat after me: "Lord God,
I come to You a sinner."
(Lord God, I come to You a sinner)
"And I humbly repent for my sins"
(And I humbly repent for my sins)
"I believe that Jesus is Lord"
(I believe that Jesus is Lord)
"I believe you raised Him from the dead"
(I believe you raised Him from the dead)
"I would ask that Jesus come into my life"
(I would ask that Jesus come in my life)
"And be my Lord and Savior"
(And be my Lord and Savior)
"I receive Jesus to take control of my life"
(I receive Jesus to take control of my life)
"And that I might live for Him
from this day forward"
(And that I may live for Him
from this day forward)
"Thank You, Lord Jesus
For saving me with your precious blood"
(Thank you, Lord Jesus
For saving me with Your precious blood)
"In Jesus' name, amen"
(In Jesus' name, amen)
All right, now remember this day
The start of a new life, your real life
