[Verse 3]
Am
I went to war last night
D/F#
With an automatic weapon, don't nobody call a medic
I'm a do it 'til I get it right
Am
I went to war last night
D/F#
I've been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent
Duckin' every other blessin', l can never see the message
Am
I can never take the lead, I can never bob and weave
For my nigga that be letting 'em annihilate me
D/F#
And the sound is moving in a meteor speed
From a 100 to a billion lay my body in the street
Am
Keep my money in the ceiling let my mama know I'm free
Give my story to the children and the lesson they can read
D/F#
And the glory to the feeling of the only unseen
Am
Seen enough, make a motherfucker scream, "I love myself!"
[Spoken Interlude]
D/F#
I lost my head, I must've misread what the good book said
Am
Oh woes keep me, it's a jungle inside
D/F#
Give myself again 'til the well runs dry
