Wilderness Crew - Sit Down Sessions pt.1 -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqzqOSI4WRA (starts at 1:04)
No capo - standard tuning
Info:
I have not found another version of this song anywhere, apart from the acoustic one in this video.
The song has three chords: F(bar), C and G. The strumming pattern is bit a confusing because it changes
trough the song: he adds some down- and upstrokes instead of silences. But these are optional.
The basic version is this (which he plays when he starts singing):
F G C
(hammeron to bass) down -chuck- down -chuck- down -chuck-
For the timing: just listen to the video and I'm sure you'll figure it out.

Back to school, with a sandwich in my bag
F
On a budget of a student but it's not that bad
C G
I gotta stretch for my future, keepin music on my pack
F
And stop what I'm doing when the song gets hot
C G
You know I'm 'beechie' with the 'coolo' when the song pops

Another track for your soul, gues who's back

The wilderness is on the track, we relax and control
F
(oh) 'I light ya deep' at maximum flow
C G
Cause they hit you with fresh, lay back and lay low
F
I don't spit venom, I sink fangs in 'em
C G
And make the hot women go and hop out their venom
F
Cause all around the globe, the vibe is the same
C G
People looking out for love, 'tryna' survive the game
F
Get by in the game and do your thing
C G
And keep the good people, 'living their lives like flame'
F
And everyday give thanks for your beautifull wife
C G
With eyes like the sky, plus the hair like the 'leysea'
