Original Key: C Minor Time Signature: 4/4 Tempo: 104 Suggested Strumming: DU,DU,DU,DU c h o r d z o n e . o r g [INTRO] Cm G Ab Fm G Cm . Knife crimes is near a record high With more than forty blade offenses every day in London At a youth club in South London not far from where someone was stabbed less than twenty four hours ago He outlined a direct link between violent crimes, social exclusion and austerity A study by City Hall found that London has seen an increase in 71% in victims of serious youth violence since 2012 The Mayor says this is linked to an increase in poverty And the highest rates of violence take placе in some of the poorest boroughs [VERSE] Cm Look, I bеt them boys think I'm panickin' G Check what my young G's are carrying G Ab His blade same length as a javelin Ab I don't know about B ball or what's happenin' Ab But know that it's fucked if he's travellin' and we see him Fm I can't lie, I was depressed at phases G Cm I was nineteen when the team nearly left him faceless Cm Hopin' that we never left no traces Cm You know when you're so damn tired in your house Cm But you can't sleep cah you got pendin' cases G Ab I used to love temptin' fate, but now it's temptin' faces Ab For half my career I was part of that Ab Fm My best friend got a burner, and it's lookin' like a artifact Fm Put it in your puffer or your Prada hat G Cm Like fuck panic, that's a heart attack www.chordzone.org Cm Yeah, it's like, life's so fucked in the time that we're in G We're fightin' the world, and we're fightin' within Ab Somali dad ran away from a war Ab Now his son's in a war, that's the cycle we're in I know niggas that didn't do time in a bin G That have never had freedom of mind, are you sick? Cm 'Round here main way to provide for your kin Cm Is in a flick blade, little push bike and a sim Cm In London a place where it's nicer to live GS Is only five minutes out from the guys on the strip Ab Where man make yay' work, heard he a soldier Ab I know that nigga hasn't got balls like Grey Worm Fm As I grow older, change of perspective G Cm I gotta stay loyal to my girl, that's the trait she was blessed with Cm Restaurants, raves with my bredrins Cm Life's too short, so we gotta turn up Cm Man talk on my ting for the 'Gram, it's intrusive G I never really thought 'bout taking a life Ab 'Til I found out my ex girl's dad is abusive Ab I felt "How could I be a man and not do shit?" Fm I'm on the way there now, and I don't wanna lose it G But fightin' her battle's only hurtin' the girl Cm How can I protect her from the world Cm When I couldn't even protect her from myself? Cm On my grandmother's grave, shit happens again G I put a knife through a family friend Ab Most the women that I know had shit happen to them So innocent 'til guilty, ain't somethin' that I have to respect Fm I think back to my youth and I was so ungrateful G Cm How many of our parents had dreams they abandoned Cm So they could put food on the table? Cm Intelligent, worthy and able, that's somebody's parent www.chordzone.org Cm You know? G And that affected the way that I see shit Ab Night club toilet, you peed on the seat Ab 'Cause you don't know how it feels when your mum's gotta clean shit Fm And her boss treats her like she don't even mean shit G Cm And she gotta wait for the bus in the rain and it's freezin' Cm And Miss said that you would never be shit Cm And you don't wanna cry about dad, but you need him Cm I grew up so fucked, but I didn't even deep it G I'm numb to the feelin' of grievin' Ab And man gettin' birded African mums on the floor, just screamin' It's mad 'cah I try so hard Fm Death's got to be easy, cah life's so hard G I was twelve wishin' that I was a white man, hard Cm 'Cah if I was then they probably wouldn't life mans dargs Cm I was dead broke, fam, I couldn't swipe mans card And time might pass, but I still gotta stay with it G It wasn't his beef, but I see him try claimin' it Ab That's why he caught a bullet with another man's name on it Ab Now he can't do leg day or put strain on it Fm Every time you hear me freestyle, I put pain in it G I used to wonder "Does God have favorites?" Cm Touch me, it's dangerous, I wouldn't play with it Cm 'Cause you can go sleep, and have a different type of wake for it Cm I miss my dawgs, unstable Cm You violate Chris? Then rah, turn Chris Benoit Ab Have him hit from far, nah Fill 'em up with bricks and glass, nah My young G's will grip, then blast Have you tried in the street? Fuck findin' my feet I could ride, but it's better when I'm ridin' a beat Cm My emotions are peak, it ain't a sign of defeat or the weak Cm I would've **** you, then cried in my sleep Cm Dropped Juss two racks and told him "Buy the machine" G I'm LeBron in Miami, I provide for the heat Ab God strike me if I'm lyin', I ain't cryin' in this beef Ab Unless the tears comin' tatted on the side of my cheek Fm I provide for my peeps, the Lamb' white in the seats G So I'm literally a wolf disguised in a sheep Cm You have five figure dreams, I have five figure sleep Cm Five hours more than enough time that I need Cm Man want a fair fight, but I ain't on it when we see him G Fuck honour, this revolver is onomatopoeic Ab Let it "Stut tut tut tut tut tut ter" when you see him Ab Free Scalez, Free C and free my niggas 'til I see 'em Fm I wouldn't wanna be him G My old G's roamin', I don't need a colosseum G You see it? Cm So I'm playin' it good, let hood politics stay in the hood Cm Fuck the Internet, you see this new generation Cm G They're Insta beefing and I ain't into speakin' When I duck down Ab I had him runnin' in a lift like he missed a meetin' There's no good reason to risk your freedom Fm The yutes dem snitch and them bitches sneakin' She don't wanna talk 'bout friendships Cm She just wanna deal with the pipe like I'm fixin' leakin' Cm And sleep with a legend like Chrissy Teigen Where I'm from the word "Life" has a different meanin' G Man smile in your face, but them niggas schemin' Ab Try involve me in a flakey dealin' Ab Sistine Chapel, I'ma paint the ceilin' Fm I been violated and I hate the feelin' G That's why nowadays man hates the preachin' Cm We smile in the visit, cah we ain't defeated Cm The Supreme Court's where my mates appealin' Cm I can't breed that girl, that's torture G South London, it's just slags on the corner Ab And influencers tryna bag them a baller Ab She a gold digger, I can tell from her aura Fm Her socials say princess, she a pauper G When it's time for it, need more for my daughter Cm Call me a talker, but man are gettin' lined like lambs in the slaughter It's life threatening and I can tell from the borer Cm G Cut through a nigga like a knife though flora G Ab Feds got the guys on a case and they stalk us Ab It's a conspiracy like tinfoil hats and a new world order Fm Touch me, better have a life insurer G Blood thirsty, I got sharks in the water Cm And trust me, I know a killer whale, no orca Cm Have you ever seen a nightmare brought to life? G Where I'm from, you get cheffed on a normal night Ab Men talk on my name, but it's porkie pies Ab I'll really put it in a prick like a porcupine Fm Little bro wanna save for a .45 G Go board a flight, there's more to life Cm Yutes on the M6 all the time Cm We don't need TFL for a northern line Cm All the best politicians been taught to lie G Where do they buy cocaine when they're snorting white? Ab Are their dealers safe or on the borderline? Ab It's ironic, cah we don't where to draw the line Fm Man see Blue Story, they're mortified G Man see Scarface and it's glorified Cm 'Cause when you're black, everything gets scrutinized Cm That's why they call it "Urban", it gets euphemized Cm South London, man are gettin' euthanized G I see a yute's demise, I wasn't too surprised Ab He got soaked but his right hand scuba dived Ab Don't die by a sword that you used to shine Fm You can drown for your king, you don't know about Ophelia G Cah we got iron, I don't know about anaemia Cm I took the hard road, we don't know 'bout the easier Cm One bag of whores and drug paraphernalia Cm When ends got sticky, had a flicky with Emelia, I mean Olivia This ain't Libya, this ain't Syria You act sillier, we let it seep in your skin like Nivea Who wants to be a millionaire? I won it Never done a gameshow or trivia I done Wandsworth, Erlestoke visitor I done Springhill, Grendon, Swinfen, Whitemoor, Swaleside, Brixton visitor I done M way trips, done shit that I wish I never did Becah I could have been a prisoner Is this the shit that appeals to the listeners? Road ain't no amazing life The ends full of snakes and jails, just a waste of time I tell my young G's "Take your time" Fuck Jazz, you can really see a major nine Yo, I'm so ashamed of how I used to get figures Man sell you a dream like the road ting's lit And then they leave out the parts where you're burying your niggas Or in jail, wonderin' who's puttin' dick inside your Mrs I'm so fuckin' determined I was in intensive care when I was born, mummy fell down the stairs Whether I was gonna live or not was somethin' uncertain I used the word "Fell", with the commas inverted You see, growin' up I had it far from perfect But nobody did, so I'm a normal person I gotta be grateful, we all have demons and all see angels Or maybe it's me A black yute's more than a face on a screen A number on a laptop or name on a sheet We got stories to tell and got places to be From my heart, that's the makin' of me
