[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Am
Peace, no material possessions shall cloud my judgement
Am Dm Em
As I reach, in an ethereal direction to provide my substance
Am
Love is not found but resides insides me, I manifest this
Am Dm Em
I will respect myself and wear serenity as my necklace
Am
I will replace what I take and have tranquility as my breakfast
Am Dm Em
Shed a new light on a new path
Am
I will gain rhythm and lose wrath, attain wisdom and refuse graft
Am Dm Em
And build upon what I built on and wisely regulate time I do have
Am
'Cause what is defeat? But just the evidence of my haste
Am Dm Em
Lack of preparedness, in my waste, so I wait
Am
Surround myself with nutrition, wholesomeness and true livin'
Am Dm Em
Use natural codes of conduct to remove schism when the rules missin'
Am
I will pursue felicity, find value in simplicity
Am Dm Em
Altruism and empathy will be the first thing extended to my enemy
Am
Clarity will be the trademark of my friendships
Am Dm Em
Just invest in my business and appreciative of the rarity of my existence
[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
Am Am
'Cause I got chillin' by the million, tranquillo by the kilo
Am Dm Em
Nigga, nigga, what, and I got kilos by the speedboat
Am
And I ain't talkin' 'bout them drugs
Am
I'm talkin' 'bout that love
Dm
For myself and all my niggas
Em
All my bitches and all my thugs, what's up?
Am Am
'Cause I got chillin' by the million, tranquillo by the kilo
Am Dm Em
Nigga, nigga, what, and I got kilos by the speedboat
Am
And I ain't talkin' 'bout that work
Am
I'm talkin' 'bout that worth
Dm
Of myself and all my niggas
Em
Every diamond came out the dirt, nigga
[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
Am
I got bitches on bitches, all my dreams and my visions
Am Dm Em
I remember me fishin' out of canals in the trenches
Am
Now a nigga be flossy, Rolls Royce lookin' glossy
Am Dm Em
Quick to put down a demo to get these haters up off me
Am
I like to smoke to myself, I just try to improve
Am Dm Em
Let my son hold my strap while I swim laps in the pool
Am
Told my daughter the rules which we all must abide
Am Dm Em
Your daddy was far from perfect, things we did to survive
Am
I just wanted to fly, they always lookin' down on us
Am Dm Em
School district full of killers, I mean these niggas ferocious
Am
Only violence and drugs, there was nothin' for us
Am Dm Em
All I had was this music, I couldn't afford to do much
[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]

[Verse 3: Big K.R.I.T.]
Am
Young nigga say, ball
Am
'Cause he ain't really livin' life 'less he's down to roll the dice
Am
Put it all on the line for a couple dollars
Am Dm Em
And a bad bitch that only think about him if he, call
Am
Is it really worth the time and the effort?
Am
Chasin' wood grain and the leather
Am
Puttin' pressure on the pedal, I don't want the devil
Am Dm Em
Hopin' he, fall
Am
Feed him to his nonsense, mothafuck a contract
Am
You don't need a handout, they gon' bring the bands out
Am Dm Em
Choppas make 'em stand down, good Lord
Am
But you don't wanna be another nigga
Am
Chasin' figures that never really add up
Am
White folk pass your face
Am Dm Em
Dyin' in the grass 'cause they wouldn't call the, law
Am
'Cause you're hooded, black and they think you're sellin' crack
Am
Maybe so, you don't give a fuck in a rut, nigga
Am
'Til those in the street got you stuck, nigga, what, nigga?
Am Dm Em
Buck, buck, nigga
Am
Buried your partner just the other day knowin' he was too young
Am
Had a tool, tryna roll on the folk
Am
Let it go on the folk but he wasn't down to shoot one
Am Dm Em
Though the time dead and gone, is YOLO what we on?
Am Dm Em
I heard different, it's never too late to listen and be reborn
Am
Young nigga, young nigga, young nigga, go be reborn
Am Dm Em
Peace and understandin' is what you should be on
