[Intro]
Am As I get a little older,
I realize life is perspective
Am And my perspective
May differ from yours
Am I wanna say thank you to
Everyone that's been down with me
Am All my fans,
All my beautiful fans
Am Anyone who's ever gave me a listen,
All my people [Verse]
Am I come from a generation of pain,
Where murder is minor
Am Rebellious and
Margielas'll chip you for designer
Am Belt buckles and clout,
Overzealous if prone to violence
Am Make the wrong turn,
Be it will or the wheel alignment
Am Residue burned,
Mist of the inner-city
Am Miscommunication to keep
Homi' detective busy
Am No protection is risky
Am Desensitized, I vandalized pain,
Covered up and camouflaged
Am Get used to hearin' arsenal rain Am Analyze, risk your life,
Take the charge
Am Homies done f*cked your baby mama
Once you hit the yard, that's culture
Am Twenty-three hour lockdown,
Then somebody called
Am Said your lil' nephew was shot down,
The culture's involved
Am I done seen n**gas do seventeen,
Hit the halfway house
Am Get out and get his brains blown out,
Lookin' to buy some weed
Am Car wash is played out,
New GoFundMe accounts'll proceed
Am A brand-new victim'll
Shatter those dreams, the culture [Chorus]
Am Dm (I want, I want, I want, I want)
Em Fmaj7 But I want you to want me too
Em E7#9 Dm I want the hood to want me back
G I want the hood
Cmaj7 Look what I done for you
(Look what I done for you)
E7 Look what I done for you [Verse]
Am I said I'd do this for my culture
Am To let y'all know what a n**ga
Look like in a bulletproof Rover
Dm In my mama's sofa was a doo-doo popper
Dm Hair trigger, walk up closer,
Ain't no Photoshoppin'
G Friends bipolar,
Grab you by your pockets
G No option if you froze up,
Always play the offense
Em n**gas goin' to work and
Sellin' work, late for work
E7 Workin' late, prayin' for work,
But he on paperwork
Am That's the culture,
Point the finger, promote ya
Am Remote location,
Witness protection,
They gon' hold ya
Dm The streets got me f*cked up,
y'all can miss me
Dm I wanna represent for us
G New revolution was up and movin'
G I'm in Argentina wiping
My tears full of confusion
Water in between us,
Em
Another peer's been executed
Em History repeats again
E7 Make amends, then find a n**ga
Am
With the same skin to do it
Am But that's the culture,
Crack a bottle
Am Hard to deal with the
Pain when you're sober
Dm By tomorrow, we forget the
Remains, we start over
Em That's the problem
Em Our foundation was trained to
Fmaj7
Accept whatever follows
Fmaj7 Em Dehumanized, insensitive
Em Scrutinize the way
We live for you and I
Dm Enemies shook my hand,
I can promise I'll meet you
G In the land where
No equal is your equal
Cmaj7 Never say I ain't told ya, nah E7 In the land where hurt
People hurt more people
E7 Am f*ck callin' it culture [Chorus]
Am Dm (I want, I want, I want, I want)
Em Fmaj7 But I want you to want me too
Em E7#9 Dm I want the hood to want me back
G I want the hood
Cmaj7 Look what I done for you
(Look what I done for you)
E7 Look what I done for you
[Interlude]
Am Take the drums out
Dm Phew, phew
G Phew, phew
E7 Phew [Verse]
Am Celebrate new life when
It come back around
Am The purpose is in the
Lessons we learnin' now
Dm Sacrifice personal gain over everything Dm Just to see the next generation
Better than ours
G I wasn't perfect, the skin
I was in had truly suffered
G Temptation and patience,
Everything that the body nurtures
E7 I felt the good, I felt the bad,
And I felt the worry
E7 But all-in-all,
My productivity had stayed urging
Am Face your fears, always knew that
I would make it here
Am Where the energy is
Magnified and persevered
Dm Consciousness is
Synchronized and crystal-clear
Dm Euphoria is glorified and made His
G Reflectin' on my life and what I done
G Paid dues, made rules,
Change outta love
E7 Them same views made
Schools change curriculums
E7 But didn't change me starin' down
The barrel of that gun
Am Should I feel resentful
I didn't see my full potential?
Am Should I feel regret
About the good that I was into?
Dm Everything is everything,
This ain't coincidental
Dm I woke up that morning with
More heart to give you
G As I bleed through the speakers,
Feel my presence
G To my brother, to my kids,
I'm in Heaven
E7 To my mother, to my sis,
I'm in Heaven
E7 To my father, to my wife,
I am serious, this is Heaven
Amadd9 To my friends, make sure
You countin' them blessings
Amadd9 To my fans, make sure
You make them investments
Dm And to the killer that
Sped up my demise
Dm I forgive you, just know
Your soul's in question
G I seen the pain in your pupil
When that trigger had squeezed
G And though you did me gruesome,
I was surely relieved
Em7 I completed my mission,
Wasn't ready to leave
E7 But fulfilled my days,
My Creator was pleased
Amadd9 I can't stress how I love y'all
Amadd9 I don't need to be in
Flesh just to hug y'all
Dm The memories recollect
Just because y'all
Dm Celebrate me with respect
Dm The unity we protect is above all
G And Sam, I'll be watchin' over you
G Make sure my kids watch
All my interviews
Em7 Make sure you live
All the dreams we produce
E7 Keep that genius in
Your brain on the move
Amadd9 And to my neighborhood,
Let the good prevail
Amadd9 Make sure them babies
And them leaders outta jail
Dm Look for salvation
When troubles get real
Dm 'Cause you can't help the
World until you help yourself
G And I can't blame the hood
The day that I was killed
G Y'all had to see it,
That's the only way to feel
Em7 And though my physical
Won't reap the benefits
E7 The energy that carry
On emits still
Am I want you
