Let me loose, [Bm] gon' be _ okay _ [F#m] again.
Came [C#m] in the game, playing [E] it see.
Average man [D] when the rest was ashamed to be.
[F#m] Slapping heads [C#m] and all, ain't no change to me.
[Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] So rough it [C#m] was, down right round I tell [F#] you.
Nobody never [Bm] gave us nothing.
The tough time it made us something.
[F#m] Different stretch [C#m] of road, new something to see.
[B] Every state on the map, [Bm] a different [B] something to eat.
[F#m] Caps and [C#m] handshakes, it meant nothing for real.
[F#] Everybody making the [Bm] killing, man.
Showing no feelings, [F#m] walking off [C#m] collecting pain.
It's the way of the world.
[G] Can't change it, so I [Bm] guess I'm gon' pray for the world.
[F#m] Sometimes I [C#m] ask myself, was I made for the world?
[E] I scream this to you, and I [B] say to the world.
[F#m] Nappy then, [C#m] nappy now.
Nappy for [G] a bit.
Knee [D] deep head over heels in this country.
All [F#m] my life, [C#m] been broke, [E] but it really don't matter [Bm] no more.
And if we know [D] why we act [C#m] this way, nappy boys [Bm] gon' be _ okay.
_ I've been here all my life.
[C#m] Everybody gets to know everybody.
[Bm]
Down home, good old-fashioned people.
This [F#m] country, I like it.
[C#m] Nothing better than that, man.
[Bm] I just love Kentucky.
_ All [F#m] my life, [C#m] been broke, but it really [B] don't matter [Bm] no more.
And if we know [F#m] why we act [C#m] this way, nappy boys [Bm] gon' be _ okay.
Even though [F#m] I've had better [C#m] days, I'm thankful for the chance I [E] got to say amen.
The Lord [D] done blessed me with his grace.
I [Bm] wish this day would never [F#m] end.
Reverend, this is [C#m] long.
Where we from?
We built it on.
[Em] Fallen short off [Bm] on these presidents.
In hard times, they're going [F#m] home soon.
Take a [C#m] fall without the chance to make it at all.
[Bm] With a thought, skinny be the one that's making this call.
[F#m] Lord, help me out.
[E] Tell me where I went wrong.
I'm [Bm] trying to find a righteous path, although it's never been long.
I [F#m] gotta do it for my [C#m] son's sake, telling me, Dad, if you strong,
we're [Bm] gonna make it through these hard times, even though they go and they come.
[F#m] You're absolutely right.
But [C#m] something happened to me on last Tuesday night.
It's [Bm] plain as day, man.
But this world great.
[F#m] No, Raven, the word I'm [C#m] looking for, yeah.
Better make it [Em] hope, but nothing seems to matter.
[Bm] That's when, see, everything can go [F#m] any which way.
They [C#m] got me folksy, the henny with the jade.
[Bm] Front post, chillin' broke.
Country folk, man, I'm nappy in my way, [F#m] yeah.
All my life, I've [C#m] been broke, but it [Em] really don't [D] matter no more.
And they wonder why we act [C#m] this way.
Nappy [Em] boy's gonna be [Bm] okay.
We're gonna be [C#m] okay.
All my life, I've been broke,
but it [G] really don't matter [Bm] no more.
And they wonder [D] why we act [C#m] this way.
Nappy boy's [Bm] gonna be _ okay.
_ _ [F#m] It's a blessing [E] we woke up this morning.
All my colorful [G] friends and common [D] joint hands.
Got to go with the process of being [E] Pope, man.
Cowboy taught me [G] in order to survive for [D] no man.
Nappy blossom [F#m] from the root, henceforth [C#m] we gon' stand.
Prophet group from [Bm] a juvenile to a grown man.
You gotta take [F#m] responsibility for your [C#m] own man.
So then, [Bm] move like Simone in my sunrise, young [D] kind.
I love to [C#m] hear my woman moanin' and moan [Bm] again.
Now my hope he play this song again.
[F#m] Soul cleansin', the [C#m] melody just rev my engine.
[Bm] Tried a lot of things, but usually just a [B] pendant.
My legs have been [F#m] searching for bendin' ends.
[C#m] All my folks locked in attendance,
and [G] it don't make any [Bm] sense.
Why?
Georgia's a citizen, [F#m] broadcasting from [C#m] the clump.
That's why I'm right, be sentencing.
[Bm] The law of my income.
Why?
Go ahead, finish.
All [F#m] my life, I've [C#m] been broke, [E] but it really don't [B] matter no more.
And they wonder [F#m] why we act [C#m] this way.
Nappy boy's gonna [Bm] be _ okay.
_ All [F#m] my life, I've [C#] been broke, [C#m] but it really don't matter [D] no more.
