[Intro]
Gm Dm Cm
What is life for a nigga like me?
Gm
Living out his backpack every night
Dm Cm
Needed a new place to sleep
But this is now, nigga
[Verse 1]
Gm
One's for the money, two for the bitches
Dm Cm
Three to get ready cause I feel I finally did it
Gm
Four's for the jealous rapper mad because he finished
Dm Cm
Turn that mothafucka to a critic
Gm
Man, I got so much shit up on my plate, dog
Dm Cm
I was hanging on them corners late
Gm
Pockets wasn't straight, bitch
Dm Cm
I ain't gon' make it at this rate, dog, know what I'm saying?
Gm Dm Cm
Nigga praying up to God just hoping that he hear a nigga
Gm
I know the world got more problems and it's much bigger
Dm Cm
But I figured, I'd get some shit up off my chest
Gm Dm Cm
To all my niggas I would die for, load my pistol up, go out and war for
Gm
To all my niggas that'll never make it out the streets
Dm Cm
Fuck it, keep goin' hard, don't let 'em see you weak
Gm
To all my niggas first time stepping in the pen
Dm Cm
Read a book and exercise, keep your spirit in

To all my niggas that's gon' fuck around and die today

Take our hats off, bow our heads and let us pray, just wanna say

Gm Dm
Now how the fuck I'm 'posed to say this?
Cm Gm
You see my nigga just lost his son
Dm Cm
While I'm here hugging on my daughter, I grip her harder
Gm
Kiss her on the head as I cry for a bit
Dm Cm Gm
Thinking of some bullshit to tell him
Dm Cm
Like "It'll be okay, you'll be straight, it'll be aight"
Gm
Well, fuck that shit
Dm
Whatever you need, yo, I got it!
Cm Gm
Whether it's money or some weed or putting in work
Dm Cm
Fuck it, then I'm riding
Gm
You know what's up, but now a nigga couldn't stick around
Dm
Told myself that after y'all moved
Cm Gm
That I'd be a fuckin' fool, to be living by the street rules
Dm Cm
"Fuck police" tattoos, that happens when you ditch school
Gm
But anyway, keep the faith
Dm Cm
Stay strong, bruh, remain solid, bruh
Gm
Keep playing ball, cuz
Dm Cm
It's the only way up out it, bruh, a nigga proud of ya
Gm
Tell Floyd to enjoy his newborn seed

Live life, smoke trees

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar & ScHoolboy Q]
Gm Dm Cm
Living in a premature place... wait
Gm Dm Cm
Never grow to see the pearly gates... break
Gm Dm Cm Gm
Every time a bullet detonate... dates... of obituary carry crates
Dm Cm
Of a scary picture with a family member that relate to ya
Gm
In December you was finna pin another case
Dm Cm
On your record in a stolen Expedition, play it safe
Gm
As the record spinning, you was hearing angels entertain
Dm Cm
Every pun intended, that was wicked, coming from your brain
Gm
Recognize you listened and you didn't hit the block again
Dm Cm
That's because the minute after you had knew you would be slain
Gm
Open up another chapter in the book and read 'gain
Dm Cm
Story of a gun-clapper really tryna make a change
Gm
Everybody ain't blessed, my nigga
Dm Cm
Yes, my nigga, you're blessed, take advantage, do your best, my nigga
Gm
Don't stress, you was granted everything inside this planet
Dm Cm
Anything you imagine, you possess, my nigga
Gm
You reject these niggas that neglect your respect
Dm Cm
For the progress of a baby step, my nigga
Gm
Step-step my nigga, one, two, skip-skip
Dm Cm
Back-back, look both ways, pull it off the hip
Gm
Blast at anybody say that you can't flip
Dm Cm
This crack into rap music every other zip is a track
Gm
Get used to it, get it off quick
Dm Cm
Come back, give back to the city you've built
Gm
That's that, don't trip, see money, fuck niggas, dog
Dm Cm
It ain't nothing but a bunch of fuck niggas, dog
Gm
In a minute everybody gon' be winning

Put a little faith in it then recognize that we all
