I hope you find some peace of 

Ab               Bbm   Ab
Mind in this lifetime

 
(Tell them, tell ‘em,

 Tell them the truth)

           Bbm       Db       Bbm
I hope you find some paradise

 
(Tell 'em, tell 'em the truth,

 Tell 'em, tell 'em,

 Tell 'em, tell 'em your—)

G G#maj7#11
    I've been goin' through somethin'

G G#maj7#11                  
    One-thousand eight-hundred 
          G
And fifty-five days

G
I've been goin' through somethin'

G G#maj7#11
    Be afraid
 
 
[Verse]

G
  What is a bitch in a miniskirt?

G#maj7#11
  A man in his feelings

 With bitter nerve

G
  What is a woman that really hurt?

G#maj7#11
  A demon, you're 

Better off killing her

G
  What is a relative 

Making repetitive narratives

G
  On how you did it first?
G
  That is a predator, hit reverse
G#maj7#11
  All of your presidents' evil thirst
G
  What is a neighborhood reputable?
G#maj7#11
  That is a snitch on a pedestal
G
  What is a house 

With a better view?

G#maj7#11
  A family broken in variables
G
  What is a rapper with jewelry?
G#maj7#11
  A way that I show my maturity
G
  What if I call on security?
G
  That mean I'm calling on

 God for purity

Dbmaj7
  I went and got me a therapist
 
I can debate on my theories 

And sharing it (Woah)

 
Consolidate all my comparisons
         Cm6       
Humblin' up because 

                    Dbmaj7
Time is imperative (Woah) 
 
I'm starting to feel like

 It's only one answer

 
To everything, I don't 

Know where it is (Woah)

 
Popping a bottle of Claritin (Woah)

Cm6                             Dbmaj7
Is it my head or my arrogance? (Woah)

 
Shaking and moving, like,

 What am I doing?

 
I'm flipping my time through the Rolodex
 
Indulging myself and 

My life and my music

    Cm6                   
The world that I'm in is a  

           Dbmaj7
Cul-de-sac

 
The world that we in is just menacing

 
The demons portrayed as religionous
N.C.
I wake in the morning, 

Another appointment

N.C.
I hope the psychologist listenin'
 
 
[Chorus]

N.C.
The new Mercedes with black G-Wagon
N.C.
The way you front, 

It was all for rap

N.C.
I was 28 years young, 

Twenty mill' in tax

N.C.
Bought a couple of mansions, 

Just for practice

N.C.
Five hundred in jewelry,

 Chain was magic

N.C.
Never had it in public,

 Late reaction

N.C.
Fifty K to cousins, 

Post a caption

N.C.
Pray none of my 

Enemies hold me captive
 
 
[Refrain]

  Dbmaj7
I grieve different

  Cm7                    C
I grieve different (Huh)
 
 
[Verse]

Dbmaj7
  I met her on the third

 Night of Chicago

 
North America tour, my enclave
 
Fee-fi-fo-fum, she was a model
 
Dedicated to the songs 

I wrote and the Bible

Cm7
Eyes like green penetratin' the moonlight
 
Hair done in a bun, 

Energy in the room like
 
Big Bang for theory, God, 

Hopin' you hear me

                     C
Phone off the ringer, 

tell the world, "I'm busy"

Dbmaj7
Fair enough, green eyes said her 

Mother didn't care enough

 
Sympathize when her daddy in the chain gang
 
Her first brother got killed,

 He was twenty-one

                                Cm7
I was nine when they put Lamont in the grave
 
Heartbroken when Estelle 

Didn't say goodbye

 
Chad left his body after we FaceTimed
                              

Green eyes said you'd be okay, 
               C
First tour s*x the pain away
 
 
[Refrain]

  Dbmaj7
I grieve different
  Cm7                    C
I grieve different (Huh)
 
 
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Bb                    
So what, paralyzed, the 

                    Gm
County building controlled us

 
I bought a Rolex watch, 

I only wore it once

                       
I bought infinity pools

         Bb
 I never swimmed in

 
I watched Keem buy four

 Cars in four months

                                Gm
You know the family dynamics on repeat
 
The insecurities 

Locked down on PC

                        Bb
I bought a .223, nobody peace treat
 
You won't doo-doo me, 

I smell TNT

                       
Dave got him a Porsche, 
         Gm
so I got me a Porsche

 
Paid lottery for it, 

I ain't want it in portions
 
Poverty was the case
Bb
But the money wipin'

 The tears away
 
[Outro]

  Bbmaj7
I grieve different

           F6                 Gadd9

      Bbmaj7
(Everybody grieves different)

  F6                Gadd9
I grieve different (Huh)
 
Bb F6 Gm
 
Bb F6 Gadd9 
Bb F6 Gadd9 
Bb F6 Gadd9
