      Am
They wanna say there's a war outside and a bomb in the street
   Dm
And a gun in the hood and a mob of police
   Am
And a rock on the corner and a line full of fiends
   Dm
And a bottle full of lean and a model on a scheme, yup
Am            Dm
These days of frustration keep y'all on ducking rotation
Am           Dm
I duck these gold faces, post up fee-fi-fo-fum basis
F
Dreams of realities peace
G
Blow steam in the face of the beast
F
The sky can fall down, the wind can cry now
E
The strong in me, I still smile

Walk my barefeet (Walk my barefeet)

Down, down valley peak (Down, down valley peak)

     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!"


            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

Outro chords: Am G D/F# F ...
