[Gm] [F]
[Cm] [Eb] Yeah, it [F] will be cool, it could [Gm] be true, Stop running around in circles with a [Eb] whoopie
few, Living them [Dm] lies, eventually believing it's true, A [Gm] lot of people here for us, one
could be you, It's [Dm] outrageous, and they just say nothing to see us, An ocean of brown [Bb] fists
and [Eb] various flippers, A favor [F] for a favor man, this is [G] the majors, Tell me what [Gm] you
would do with no phones or pages, [F] No inkos, no FedEx, [C] and no ATM, What [Gm] you gonna do when
the police state begins, Well [F] it already began, But [Gm] I guess it depends, On what's really
going on, [F] what's happening, Huh, Military thought, get practicing, They finna write
another Patriot Act again, The days are short, the nights [G] are long, The fight goes [F] on, the
pistols in the pipe, the drug in the coke, The feeling of the night, we [Gm] fight, More than
[Eb] we done since I was [G] a boy, [F] You might think that it's a [Eb] waste of [Gm] our time, [Bb] I think you

[G] Some [C] [Dm] might say that it's a waste [Gm] of time, Cause ain't no amount of dancing [F] finna break
them bondage, We go to war, and transcends space and time, But every record ain't a record
just to shake, Well huh, you know the stakes is high, [Gm] We in the face of drama, That's why
[Dm] we can't shake it or escape the problem, It's like a game of roulette, the battle revolving,
They only wanna see us occupyin' a coffin, Mothers crying so often from they lost [G] child,
We been, we tryna get over, [F] get under, Get even, get inside, Get in it, get in dumb,
Get in greedy, We got to get it right, It's not about to be easy, Come on, you best to
put your goggles up, It's hard to [Gm] get breezy, Believe the [F] song, Long as we can still speak
free, The pages of my life are making art [G] to greet me, I know my [Bb] people hearing me, I'll
lift y'all to the [F] world, The feeling of the night, [Gb] we [Gm] fight, More [Fm] than we done since [G] I
was a boy, You might [F] think that it's a waste of [A] our time, [Dm] I think you would be [Ab] right,
Till it [Gm] drops, that's right, The feeling of the night, [F] we fight, More than we done since I was a [G] boy,
[Bb] You [Gm] might think that it's a waste of [Cm] our [D] time, [F] I think you would be right, Till it [Em] drops, [Gm] that's right,
