[N] [Gm] [Bb]
[Eb] [C]
[Gm] [Bb] The moment comes, you gotta own it, and wailin' and [C] willin', struggle.
[Gm] I'm part of your [Bb] possible, this is my romance.
I notice the rodents, condolence [Eb] to my opponents.
[G] Foam at the [Bb] mouth, I starve for the [Eb] moment.
Comin' through the engine, seen all the [C] broken [Gm] components.
Never say die, my [Bb] slogan, hopin' it's not over.
Atonement for my wrongs, streets [Eb] is cold, time is frozen.
Poet of the broken, [Bb] chosen by an [Eb] omen.
Father from poverty, but a [Gm] shark in this ocean.
They was drinkin' the [Bb] Kool-Aid, I concocted a potion.
[Eb] Emotions from emotion, discovered there's no devotion.
Home in the mornin', hunger pains, [Gm] no bitchin', [Eb] moanin'.
[Bb] I've been waitin' for [C] this moment, now I'm gonna [Gm] own it.
I just hope I made my mama [Bb] proud.
I hope that mama's smilin' when he's lookin' down.
[Eb]
And I remember when there was no one around.
[Bb] No one was to be [Eb] found, and I was on [Gm] the ground.
We all know when you fall in,
that [Bb] everybody's by your side.
But when you fall in, so many people [Eb] runnin' out.
Are you [Gm] really down to die?
Then you know [Bb] someone will die.
Are you still a friend of mine?
When our life is [Gm] on the line, on the line.
[Bb]
[Eb] [C] When our life is [Gm] on the line.
[Bb]
[C]
[Gm] Know the streets gon' slow you [Bb] down.
People in the streets, how they goin' wild.
You don't really understand me.
If you ain't from a spot where no one smile.
Man, [Gm] it's so hard for me to take it.
Feel it in [Bb] my bones that I can't shake it.
You might not understand [G] my reason.
If you ain't from a place where nobody makes it.
[Gm] And I swear I feel your [Bb] pain.
I know where you comin' from.
[Eb] I went to war with the same demons you runnin' from.
I know [Gm] when the money [Bb] comes, that's when the problems grow.
[Eb] Even if it's a one and done.
I hope [Gm] you reap all your sows.
Met a fielder on the mountain.
[Bb] He told me about my future.
He said some [Eb] stars will follow.
And he said some stars will shoot.
[Gm] Pay attention to the universe.
[Bb] And you'll see it's so translucent.
[Eb] With faith the size of a mustard seed.
[C] From the mountain, you can move.
[Gm] I just hope I made my [Bb] mama proud.
I hope your mama's smiling when he's looking down.
And I remember when there was no one around.
No one was to [Eb] be found.
And I was on the [Gm] ground.
We all know when you're bounding.
That [Bb] everybody's bound, you're strapped.
But when you're falling.
[Eb] So many people running out.
Are you [Gm] really down to ride?
[Bb] When you know someone will die.
Are you still a friend of mine?
When our life is [Gm] on the line.
On the line.
[Bb]
[Eb] [C] When our life is [Gm] on the line.
[Bb]
[Eb] [C]
[Gm] I'm James the Apostle.
[Bb] First to be [Eb] martyred.
My freedom was bartered.
Taken I borrowed.
[Gm] The pain and the sorrow.
So I pray for [Eb] tomorrow.
I live for the moment.
Never [Gm] fear what'll follow.
A leader of [Bb] many.
I fought in the field.
Brought them out the valley.
So [Eb] we stood on the hill.
[Gm] I stood on my heels.
[Bb] Enemies on the [Eb] ground.
Screaming at the clouds.
I hope that you're [Gm] proud.
I just hope I made my [Bb] mama proud.
I hope that mama's smiling when he's [Eb] looking down.
And I remember [Bb] when there was no one around.
No one was to be [Eb] found.
And I was on the [Gm] ground.
We all know when you're falling.
Let [Bb] everybody's bow your sky.
But when you're falling.
So many people [Eb] running out.
Are you [Gm] really down to ride?
When you know someone will [Bb] die.
Are you still a friend of mine?
When our life is on the line.
On the line.
