[Verse]
A
It goes a one, two, three
Bb A
I was born with the hunger of a lion, the strength of a sun
G A
I don't need to sweat it when the competition come
Bb A
Original style, like an eight of eight drum
G A
So I don't run the track, no, I make the track run
Bb A
My momma taught me words, my daddy built rockets
G A
I hold 'em both together now, tell me what I got
Bb A
It's a pretty small weapon, I can shoot it, I can drop it
G A
But learn to respect it 'cause you clearly can't stop it
A
Like that...
A
It ain't over 'cause the sharks on the left side, the snakes on the right
A
And anything you do, they wanna get a little bite
A
It really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right
A
Cause once they get their teeth in, nothing really fights
Bb A
And razzle me, I do it like I got nothing to lose
G A
And you can run your mouth like you could try to fill my shoes
Bb A
But steady little soldier, I ain't standing next to you
G A
I can lay it on the ground before you're even in my view
A
Like that...
[Interlude]
Am G Am
Give me the strength of the rising sun
Am C D Am
Give me the truth of the words unsung
C D C
And when the last bells ring, the poor men sing
D
Bring me to kingdom come
[Verse]
A
This is something for your people on the block to blackout and rock to
A
Give you what you need like Papa, who shot ya
A
Separate the weak from the obsolete, you're meek, I creep hard on impostors
G
And switch styles on the dime, quick-witted y'all
G
Quit tripping, I don't have time for your crying
G
I grind tough sucka make your mind up, are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?
Bb A
Bang, bang, little monkey man playing
G A
With the big guns only get you slain
Bb A
I ain't playing, I'm just saying you ain't got a sliver of a chance
G A
I get ill or I deliver while you quiver in your pants
Bb A
So shake, shake down, money, here's the break down
G A
You can play the bank, I'mma play the bank take down
Bb A
And no mistakes now I'm coming to get you
G A
I'm just a Banksy, you're a Brainwash, get the picture?
A
It's like that
[Chorus]
A
We swim against the rising waves
D A
and crash against the shore
A
The body bends until it breaks
D A D A
The early morning sings no more
A
So rest your head. it's time to sleep
D A
And dream of what's in store
A
The body bends until it breaks
D A
And sings again no more
E A
Cause time has torn the flesh away
D E A
The early morning sings no more
