_ [Cm] _ I look back cause I [G] got a little something to say
[Ab] To [Bb] educate you about the [Cm] life in the street
If that, [F] _ everybody's confused about what [G] to [Ab] do
[Bb] And what this [C] world is coming to [Gm] do
Signing of the _ [Ab] Times
[Gm] _ _
_ [Cm] _ [F] You can't really throw your _ [G] [Ab] mind [Eb] in
_ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] Inflation rises every time the opportunity knocks
[Ab] The [Bb] rent's crazy for the [C] house, the size of a box
[Fm] It's an arm and a leg to keep closing [Gm] your back
[Ab] The [Bb] daily running prison cell, they just can't hack
[Fm] When payday comes a rap, you gotta pick up [Gm] your checks
[Ab] Your money [Bb] never sees a bullet, so [Fm] out on deck
He'd be shot to press the day he had nothing [Gm] to do
He wanted [Bb] Joni to see him on the aisle with the new
[Fm] Cops shoot up all of the [G] citizens
To find [Bbm] out the next day the guy's innocent
[Ab] A young girl being raped and taken [Cm] by force
While all the people [Bb] getting married just to get divorced

[Cm] _ _ Working [Fm] for minimum wage, one foot in [Ab] the grave
When all [Bb] the rich folks screaming they're [Fm] underpaid
Daddy's in jail, doing 20 [Gm] to life
[Ab] He has [Bb] a family back, over five [Cm] kids in the white
[Fm] Girls run away from home with no way to [Gm] survive
[Ab] You have [Bb] to tell them to stay [Eb] alive
[Fm] Nowadays on the chains and the buses [Eb] you see
[Cm] People [F] fighting for seats with the elderly
Mama [Fm] down by the [Ab] bedside on her knees
So [Bb] what's crime to ain't see [G] her to walk or speak
Because [Ab] times are hard to either do or [Gm] die
[Cm] You [Bb] can run in the door but you [F] can't hide _ _
Ever gonna be peace
The only way there's gonna be peace man
Is when God is seated at the conference [E] table
I'm telling you
We can work it out
We need a little bit of [C] peace and love and unity
[N] I don't know about man
With all this time that's been going by
It's just never gonna end
That's why it's time for all love to come together
And I hope it's soon [C] or we'll all be lost

_ _ [F] _ Politicians To maximize
[Ab] Saying [C] vote for me
I'd lower the [F] tax
Sipping on martinis with a little [Ab] coke
And then [Bb] the headlines Drug overdose
[F] Magazine exposes our beauty [G] queen
[Abm] The [Bb] American [C] dream
What does it mean
[F] For tears of fear in our [G] country
[Ab] [Bb] Don't take things [Cm] as they appear to be
Save [Fm] babies cry by their [Gm] mother's side
[Ab] Sweet [Bb] man of liberty [Fm] for spacious skies
You got actors running for [Gm] president
[Ab] So what [Bb] the hell's going [C] on with this [Fm] government
No hurt is worse than a [Gm] mother's pain
[Ab] When [Bb] the love for her [C] child goes down the drain
[Fm] Spend years in a feud but would never [Gm] expect
[Ab] That [Bb] the child should learn [Ab] to forgive and not respect
Car dealing wanted to make quick cash
Try to buy the coke you don't drink out of a glass
[Bb] Nowadays kids are growing up too fast
Learning more in [G] the street than they do in class
Dealing drugs on the corner at the age of ten
My son if you go to jail you got to stay in
[Fm] Stay in the fast lane
Go in [Eb] the race and when it's over
You'll see [D] that it was all a waste
[C] Come with a letter by your bedside
You ended your life committed to [Fm] a side
Mama sitting in the [C] trash
For bottles and cans
While the kids threw the fly without a stretch hand
While [Cm] a man holds a dollar
Ain't so much praise [Ab] in this [Bb] land of [C] the free
And home of [Cm] the brave
You say people getting shot over nickels and dimes
[Bb] Don't [G] you know that it's all a sign of [Fm] the times
