[G] _ _ [F] _ [Gm] _ Sometimes words aren't enough to kill them.
[G] Let's give it then give.
[F] So what should I hope [D] for?
I keep on looking for jobs, but jobs seem [G] not to like me.
What if my [F] door's kicked off the hinge?
[D] Somebody just peeled the Christmas list off me and [G] the family.
And damn, I [F] just missed them.
Felt [D] like I've been raped.
A finger's been through my drawers.
[G] I was wearing the cloth in between [F] the black trim.
I summoned [G] in the country so I could send myself [D] a check.
So I left this world by putting bullets in the head.
A little Johnny across the street hung himself from his bunk bed.
Had to go to court in the morning.
Nothing hard about it.
My little partner was just scared.
[A] How scared, Gale?
That scared.
When I was a B-teen, used to think I couldn't [G] be it.
None of my homies carried guns.
[F] All I had was a stick.
Coming [G] a hard was the way from day one.
One of the smallest motherfuckers in the [F] crew.
But [D] to the whip of this night, my nigga, that he'll be [G] the one that knock the roof off.
To them [D] older niggas, they already know [G] that I was gone.
What's going down at the party?
Nobody find home.
Nobody knows why [Dm] we bought.
[Gm] I guess we up in the rut, nigga, for fun.
[D] At the same time, I'm in the plane.
Someone's got guns up in the gang.
I'm to get [Gm] a piece of what the system has [D] designed black folks to struggle for.
So I [F] bust.
So much to deal with.
[D] Can't tell what's real from fake.
But I say, I stay close to home so the fuckers don't [Dm] take it.
And never get back to [Gm] my hood.
And that's what needs to change.
We arrange it to fit [F] me.
Going up on [Dm] steps in the street.
Can you feel what I feel?
[Gm] Can you hear what [F] I hear?
[Gm] Can you see what I see?
With my fleek in the street.
What you know?
What [F] [Gm] you know?

With my fleek in the street.

My obsession was your father was to put me in the dark.
[G] What was bald?
I [F] see Sammy Street to my [D] spa.
In the reds, reds, snap a truck.
[G] Undercover, but he heal the [F] folks with the class A's [D] up.
Steps, not harder.
Stop, stopping at Saka [G] Laka.
I'm too mad to be [A] scared.
So for the price.
If you got [D] it like that to be the boss.
You gladly pay it and I'm in the [F] league.
I be lying if I say it.
[Gm] I ain't need no help.
[D] Can't do it by myself.
Write a sense of me cause there's only so much time left.
[Gm] In this crazy world makes in [G] prison guards life with a hammer.
So [Dm] excuse my grabbing behind [Gm] the walls of Atlanta federal pen.
The jail on Fritz Stock.
The cell block with most CEOs.
Equipped with radios.
The system is flopped.
And the security [Dm] cameras now that we at outlaw [Gm] only.
Shit, the second stage denied.
I wonder if I did another [F] try.
[Gm] Remember me from [D] way back in the day?
[C] Live right around the corner [D] from Benjamin [Bb] Mays.
I'm amazed that we made it [G] this far.
Our poor black family [F] is all that we are.
[G] Wishing upon the star for a trace of happiness.
My mama do a good machine [Gm] making no [G] progress.
Maybe it's a test that we all gotta pass.
My situation's making me [F] grow to be [D] back.
Thirteen and a half [G] years old.
Standing at the bus stop alone in [Gm] the cold.
On my way to be the green in four [G] feet.
To help get [D] my family off the [F] street.
Cause [A] that's a me.
Can [Gm] you feel what I feel?
Can you hear what I hear?
Can you see what I see?
With my feet in the street.
So what you know?

With my feet in the street.
Now what [Gm] you know?
What [F] you know?
[D] What you [E] know about your destiny?
I don't [D] think she's happy about that.
I did not try going out all [Gm] that blue.
I was driving in the back of a straight.
I was in the middle of the road.
While I was driving in the road.
[D] I was driving in the back of a straight.
While I was driving in the road.
I [Gm] was in the middle of the road.
[D] _ While I was driving in the road.
And we moved our way. _
[Gm] _ And I said, [F] hey, tell me.
And I said, y [Gm]'all do it.
Y'all got to do it.
Can you [A] feel what I feel? _
[Gm] Can you hear what [F] I hear?
