[G]
[N] [F#] [G#]
[G]
[F#m] When they kick out your [Bm] front door, [F#] how you gonna [Bm] come?
With your hands on your head, on [G] the trigger of [B] your gun?
[F#] When the law [Bm] broke in, [F#]
how you gonna [G] go?
Shot down on the pavement, or waiting in death row?
You [F#m] can crush us, you [D] can bruise [F#m] us, but you'll have to answer [Bm] to us
[B] The [F#] money [Bm] feels good, [F#] and you're lucky, [Bm] lucky and well
[G] But surely if [F#] I'm [G] welcome, I don't have an [C#] arsonist
[G#] [A]
You [G]
[F#m] [G#]
[G]
[F#] see, it feels like [G#] Ivan, [F#] born under the [Bm] Brixton sun
[G] This game is [Bm] called surviving, [G] at the end of [Bm] hard and it comes
You [C#m] know it means no [Bm] mercy, [F#] they caught him [G#] with a gun
[G] No need for a black Mariah, goodbye to the [Bm] Brixton sun
[F#m] You can crush us, [Bm] you can bruise us, [F#m] but you'll have to [Bm] answer to [G] us
[B] [F#m] [Bm] [F#m]

When they kick out your front [F#] door, how you gonna [G] come?
With your hands [E] on your head, [G] on the trigger of your [F#] gun?
[Bm] [F#m]
[Bm] [G]
[Bm] You [F#m] can crush us, [Bm] you can bruise us, [F#m]
and even [Bm] shoot us
But oh, you'll have [G] to answer to us
[B] [F#] Shot down on the [G#] pavement, [F#] waiting in [Bm] death row
[G] This game was surviving, I didn't have an answer
Hell, you [F#m] can crush [D] us, you can bruise us, but you'll have to answer [Bm] to [G] [Bm] us
Us, [B] [G] [Bm] us, [B] us, [G] us, us
[B] [G]
