[F#m] When they kick out your [Bm] front door, [F#] how you [Bm] gonna come?
Put your hands on your head, or [G] on the trigger [B] of your gun.
[C#] When the [Bm] law break in, [F#] how you [G] gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement, or waiting in the pool.
[F#m] You can crush us, [Bm] you can bruise us, [F#m] but you have to [Bm] watch us too.
That's a good one.
[B] [F#] That money [Bm] feels good, [F#] and you're lucky, you're [G] lucky in wealth.
But surely a time will come, when heaven has a gentleman.

[F#] He [Bm] feels like Ivan, [F#] born under the [G] Christian sun.
His game is called surviving, at the end of the day they come.
[Bm] You know it means no mercy, [F#] they caught him [G#m] with a [Bm] gun.
No need for a black Mariah, [G] provided a Christian [Bm] son.
[F#m] You can crush [Bm] us, you can bruise [F#m] us, but you have to [Bm] watch us too.
[G] That's a good one.

[F#m] You can crush us, [Bm] you can bruise us, [F#m] and even [Bm] shoot us.
But ah, you can [G] crush us.
[B] [F#] Shot down on [G#] the pavement, [F#] waiting in [G] that pool.
His game was surviving, and in heaven and [Bm] in hell.
You [F#m] can crush us, you [D] can bruise [F#m] us, but you have to watch [G] us too.
I'm not something I'm not something [B] I'm [G] not something
