[C] [G] [D]
Looking [Em] out the window, [C] staring at the sky, Heaven's for a reason, but what's the reason [G] why?
It ain't supposed to be that way.
It ain't [D] supposed to be that way.
[Bm] [Em] Weathered through the storm, lightning [C] and the thunder, did I take the wrong [G] road?
I didn't see another, it ain't supposed to be that way.
It ain't [D] supposed to be that way.
I struggle, [Bm] [Em] collect call from [Bm] Department of [C] Correction, looking [G] out the window but I see a clear reflection.
Did I take the wrong direction at the intersection?
[D] Hear the whispers that I'm different, guess it's all [Em] perception.
Lessons that I [Bm] learned, worth the sacrifices made, [C] dues that I paid, paved the way [G] to better days.
Now dreams coming true, in this bed that I lay, [D] but I slay, so I pray [D] that they stay [G] out of my way.
[Em] No hatred in my heart, for the friends that I've split, [C] [G] glass half full of Don Julio and guilt.
My decisions crumbled walls, in the house that I built, [D] baptized in the puddle, can't cry over spilt milk.
Looking [Em] out the window, staring [C] at the sky, Heaven's for a [G] reason, but what's the reason why?
It ain't supposed to be that way.
It ain't [D] supposed to be that way.
[Bm] Brother [Em] through the storm, lightning [C] in the thunder, did I take the wrong [G] road?
I didn't see another.
It ain't supposed to be that way.
It ain't [D] supposed to be that way.
[Em] My big brother told me go and get it, [G] my mama [C] told me ramen [G] noodles and ketchup equals spaghetti.
I jumped off the porch when I was young and thought I was ready, [D] put the world on my shoulders, pretended it wasn't heavy.
[Em] Hear the rumble of the thunder, I swear to [Bm] God I feel the [C] lightning.
I've seen it all from close [G] caskets to sealed indictments.
The preacher man said heaven's real and I'm still [D] invited, but meanwhile [G] I still feel this feeling [Em] sad.
Take a moment to relax, just to sit [C] back, even on the days that it's sunny, my [G] city's pitch black.
Just to go get the paper will in the pitch [D] pack.
Is there a heaven for people that really need that?
[Em] What's turning [C] at the sky happens for a [G] reason, but what's the reason why?
It ain't supposed to be that way.
It ain't [Bm] supposed to be that [D] way.
Brother [Em] through the storm, lightning [C] in the thunder, did I take the wrong [G] road?
I didn't see another.
It ain't supposed to be that way.
It ain't [D] supposed to be that way.
[Em] I came home with my mind [Bm] right, feeling [C] stable, but mind gone now, [G] touch has been disabled.
Half the homies back in prison, other half just [D] living.
Guess I had a different vision than we'd all be [Em] chilling.
Life moves on and takes us different [C] ways.
We [G] all floating in this ocean, head above the waves.
I want to see you face it more than just the funerals.
[D] Life's a hard pill to swallow, homie, but it's doable.
Looking [Em] out the window, staring [C] at the sky, happens for a reason, [G] but what's the reason why?
It ain't supposed to be that way.
It ain't [D] supposed to be that way.
Brother through [Em] the storm, lightning [C] in the thunder, did I take the wrong road?
[G] I didn't see another.
It ain't supposed to be that way.
It ain't supposed [D] to be that way.
