[A] I go [C] against the grain, but always been [G] the same
Prayin' for [D] all my enemies [C] that go against my name
[A] Might not been [C] stumblin', crumblin', rumblin' for way too [Gm] long
The pain's been [D] way too strong, [C] adios, I'm movin' [Am] on
More money, [C] more problems, they say that's how the paper [G] do
[D] Cholesterol and stress gon' kill me [C] for these haters [A] do
Got [C] recognized, but dawg, I'm still that same old Southern [Gm] boy
Quick to tell the [D] truth, never fakin' [C] like all them other [A] boys
Long as these [C] haters got a mouth, they gon' talk [G] about ya
Just take [D] it as a blessing that they [C] even thought [Am] about ya
And that's my [C] mind frame, got no time for them mind [G] games
Stayin' on my [D] grind, I ain't let them [C] know it's my time, [A] I ain't
Still do this [C] for my people, I mean my country [G] people
Still pray to [D] God to lead and guide [C] me in the world [A] of evil
Success is [C] callin', gotta hit the booth to get it [G] poppin'
Ain't got no [D] time to waste, music [C] is my only [Am] option
I came from the [C] bottom, showed the world that I was gifted
[G] Told my haters I would [D] make it, no one else could [C] tell me different
[A] I turned off my [C] cellophane, time to get off in my zone
[G] Everything I've ever [D] earned in life, I did [C] it on my own
[Am] Life has brought me plenty [C] rain, life has brought me plenty brain
[G] Of the hardest tolls to [D] live for me, I chose to [C] stay the same
[A] Made a promise not to [C] change, and that's why I go against [G] the grain
Go [D] against the grain, I [C] go against [A] the grain
All I [C] had was my balls and my word
I [G] traveled down a road that [D] so many people thought was [C] absurd
Came [A] from that real talk, [C] something that the fans could relate
And [G] never will [D] apologize for the stands that [C] I take
[A] Answering to no man, [C] other than the man who created me
[G] Middle fingers to the [D] ones who ever doubted [C] or hated me
[A] To the fans that had faith [C] in me, I do this for y [G]'all
United we [D] all stand, but divided [C] we fall
[A] Can't you see I got no [C] time for the fakes and the fables
Me [G] and my dogs are eating, [D] y'all ain't got no place at [C] my table
[Am] Where was y'all when I ain't [C] have a dime?
Back when I ain't have these [G] rhymes
Half you dudes need to [D] raise your skirt and show the [C] world you're panty [Am]-lined
And if you [C] get offended, take it how you wanna [G] take it
Your [D] heart is full of hatred cause you [C] know I'm gonna [A] make it
Going against the [C] grain, something half these rappers scared to [G] do
Lying on their [D] records cause these rappers [C] don't understand the [A] truth
See I came from the [C] bottom, showed the world that I was gifted
[G] Told my haters I would [D] make it, no one else could [C] tell me different
[Am] I turned off my [C] cellophane, time to get off in my zone
[G] Everything I've ever [D] earned in life, I did it [C] on my own
[A] Life has brought me plenty [C] rain, life has brought me plenty pain
[G] Other artists chose to [D] laugh at me, I chose to [C] stay the same
[A] Made a promise not to [C] change, and that's why I go against [G] the grain
