Chords for The Message

_ _ This one is for my brother _ [Abm] Tyree R.I..P. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ A message to God. _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
Since you [Abm] finished in the Murley, we'll possess you to start him. We made a vow, later [Ebm] we'll regret to death do us part. Lord, I thought we was made for each other. You shouldn't connect those made to be taken away from each other. [Abm] Now what I'm supposed to do? I'm only half the man that I was. I'll never last, cause my better half is [Ebm] up there with you. You knew what you was doing when you made us. So with all due respect, you couldn't forgive him. You didn't have to [Eb] take him. You [Abm] can take the game with him, cause he defines the word. The one who puts the G in it. Who [Ebm] you think put me in it? I'm feeling like my whole world is blinded. Wondering why, crying, pouring out our heart, pouring our liquor [Ab] behind it. [Abm] We fought like brothers, something we never should do. We could've used time, spent arguing, [Ebm] telling the truth. He had talent too, I had plans of watching him blow. Don't know what hurts more, [Gb] seeing him leave or watching [Abm] him go. Listen, listen, listen. _ Oh, oh, [Ebm] oh, oh. Listen, [Eb] listen, listen. Better listen. Oh, oh, [Abm] oh, oh. Listen, listen, listen. Na, [Ebm] na, na, na, na. _ Listen. _ _ _ Hmm, hmm, [Abm] hmm. If you don't know why. Why I live my [Ebm] life. It's a way that I do. Cause I got to give this my [Abm] day. So don't worry about me. Cause I know my [Ab] way around. [Ebm] Cause I'm just hustling everyday. Right in this space, making this game right. I used a soldier, [Abm] probably packing heat up there. Met up with homies from [Ab] the street and got deeper. [Ebm] You don't know the way I felt before they ruined the crew. I thought I learned from East, now I'm going [Gb] through it with you. We lost [Abm] a thug, his son and a father. Spoke to your son the other day and told [Ebm] him Uncle Dre got him. The Lord must be accidentally pulling your father. Cause I'm still paging you, 911, straight in [Abm] denial. Yeah, you get it. But no man can choose the card he was dealt. You either quit or you [B] gonna play him like you get it. I [Ebm] done been through all emotions. From in shock to keeping a poker face to straight breaking down and showing all [Abm] emotion. From anxious to believing real G's don't cry. If that's the truth, then I'm realizing [Ebm] I ain't no gangster. It's just not me, but you know I'm always riding with you. I miss you, sometimes I wish I just died [Abm] with you. This son, this son, this son. This son, this [Ebm] son, this son. _ _ This son, _ [Abm] _ this son, this son. _ _ [Ebm] _ _ This son. _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] You don't know why, why I [Bb] _ [Ebm] lie, the way that I do. Cause I got to [Gb] get this money, [Abm] so don't worry about me. Don't worry, don't [Ebm] worry, I'm just hustling. _ I'm just hustling, I'm just hustling. _ [Abm] _ _ _ This son, _ [Ebm] this son, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] this son. Baby you don't know why, you [Ab] better listen up right [Ebm] now. This son, this son, this son, this son. [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ This son, this son, [Abm] _ _ _ this son. _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

This son, this son, [Abm] _ [Ebm] this son. Baby you don't [B] know why, _ _ _ [Bb] you better find out the [Eb] reason why. _ Brother, [Ebm] _ _ _ [Abm] brother. [Bbm] _
