I'll catch [Am] y'all at the next life.
We in traffic
[F] _ _ _ Hey do this thug style man, [C] thug style.
When this whole beat drop we just gonna run it [G] to them, bet.
It's all good _
_ [Am] I never had much, ran with [Em] a bad bunch, [F] little skinny kids seeking heat in my bag [C] lunch
And off the glue you high, we was just getting [G] by, and drive-bys ride my homies to their young [Am] lives
I never did cry [C] and even though I had [F] pain in my heart I was hopeless from the [C] start
They couldn't tell me nothing.
They all tried [G] to help me with marijuana.
Had my mind gone.
It [Am] wasn't healthy
I travel places called [C] cases what an ill year
[F] I felt the pain and the brain but I'm still here, [C] never did like the police, let the [G] whole world know
Now I get no fee, cause they chasing [Am] me down, and facing me now
[Em] What do I do [F] these things that a thug goes through, and still I [C] rise to keep your head up and make your mind [G] strong
It's a struggle everyday but [C] you gotta [Am] hold on
I wish I could take the pain away, if you could make it through [F] the night, man it's a brighter day
Everything will be [C] alright if you hold on, it's a struggle [G] everyday you gotta roll on _
I wish [Am] I could take the pain away, if you could make it through [F] the night, man it's a brighter day
Everything will [C] be alright if you hold on, it's a struggle [G] everyday you gotta roll on _
_ [Am] Man, never a good day, cause in my [F] hood they let their AKs pop straight where the kids [C] play
And every Halloween, check out the murder [G] scene, can't help but duplicate the violence seen on [Am] the screen
My homies done before they get to see their birthdays, [F] this is the worst day
Sometimes it hurts to [C] pray, and even God turn his back on the ghetto [G] youth
I know that ain't the truth, [C] sometimes I look for proof, [Am] I wonder if heaven got a ghetto
And if it does, [F] doesn't matter if you blood or you curse, remember how [C] it was
The picnics and the parties and the [G] projects, small time drinking, getting high with the [Am] marble
This another _ knucklehead kid [C] from the gutter, [F] I'm dealing with the madness, raised by a single [C] mother
I'm trying to tell you in a song, you gotta [G] keep your head to the sky, be strong most of all, [Am] hold on
I wish I could take the pain away, if you could make it through [F] the night, man it's a brighter day
Everything will be [C] alright if you hold on, it's a struggle [G] everyday you gotta roll on _
I [Am] wish I could take the pain away, if you could make [F] it through the night, man it's a brighter day
Everything will be [C] alright if you hold on, it's a struggle [G] everyday you gotta roll on _

_ _ [G] _ It's a struggle [Am] everyday but you gotta _ hold on, be strong
_ _ [Dm] _ It's a struggle everyday but you gotta [C] hold on, be strong
_ _ [G] _ _ AIDS, earthquakes, _ _ [Am] _ muggings, _ carjackers, [F] yeah we got problems _ _ _
But [C] believe me when I tell you, _ things [G] always get better
_ _ [C] _
_ [Am] God don't like ugly, [Em] _
and God don't [F] like no critics _ _ _
_ _ [C] You know what Billie Holiday said, baby [G] _ you dead
God [D] bless the child that can hold [Am] his own, you know, [Em] _
you [F] got to stand strong _ _ _
And when [C] these busters try to rob you out your place, [G] you stand there to their [C]
face
