Woodie - Blackbird Chords

_ _ [Bb] Yeah, this one for my boy [Ab] Blackbird.
It's your boy [Ebm] Wood homie.
I stood down [Ab] here struggling dog, beat her in a [Gb] minute.
It's me, [Ebm] Lil Lose, [Bb] Shadow, Louis Lose, Lil [Gb] Brother, this motherfucker too.
This is [G] dedicated to you homie, Blackbird!
[Gb] Do you remember when I bought the 75 Caprice [Fm] glass?
How I came back through the [Db] yacht after pulling 800 [Gb] gas out?
We took it to my pop shop and [Ab] sanded it down.
Got it sprayed apple green, we 16 [Gb] through the 10.
There was room to click down and dirty, [Fm] I was just dropped.
And that [Ab] move to flamboyant made the [Gb] bonnets knock.
We were dicking so hard we had the [Fm] wheel coming off the ground.
Trying to peel every [Ebm] notch of town while attempting to keep the yacht [Fm] locked down.
Any scraps we [Ab] ran across we hopped out and [Ebm] got down.
Trigger 40, smoking them or earning strikes [Ab] was our life.
Lying on these traps we could, [Gb] what good was a knife?
We was trying to take them all out this [Fm] game and at the same time [Db] had the whole colony down.
[Gb] We were naive and young, maybe even [Fm] dumb.
But there's nothing like the feeling when the respect [Gb] comes.
To be recognized we got down to business.
This is [Fm] where we capable of leaving [Db] enemies.
Wigs, face, [Gb] new skids.
Showing up to school the next [Ab] day like nothing happened.
It's all part of life in the back.
[F] I guess our fathers bred some killers, but [Fm] I'm still here and you're [Db] gone and I don't feel a_
[Gb] Motherfucking thing in there, I wanna bring it back.
[Fm] Blackbird!
I wish I could bring it [F] back.
Blackbird!
[Ebm] Dedicated his life to the [Fm] gang.
So [Ab] if you're on a thing, yo, he never is [F] banned.
Carlos Joseph [Ebm] Ramirez, a soldier, much [Ab] love.

[Gb] This is dedicated to my homie that never made it.
[Fm] I reminisce and [Db] miss you even more when I'm [Gb] faded.
You were always hated and misunderstood.
[Fm] Just a down motherfucker that was repping his [Gb] hood.
I wish you could come back like you did that one [Fm] time.
When you walked in while I was [Db] grooming, it nearly blew my [Gb] mind.
As I rewind and think about that love you [Fm] showed.
Especially when you let me know.
It's hard [Ebm] to let you go.
I know for sure you're in a better place.
[Fm] Resting in peace with that [Ab] smuggle off your face.
Ain't [F] nothing gonna replace the times we all had.
[Ab] Kicking it in the alley, drinking liquor, smoking [Gb] bambersacks.
It really don't matter that.
But what you [Fm] did, I got your back.
To this [Ab] day I get the fuck what [Gb] they say.
Send my love, hooray.
I know he's up there [Fm] hearing this.
I bet you're in the studio next to me [Gb] feeling this.
I wish I could get rid of this feeling that I [Fm] got.
When I smash through the [Db] yacht, put your image in my [Ebm] notch.
In my back I will not but forever be [Fm] bound.
Giving love to my [Ab] homie, pouring liquor on the [F] ground.
Always like a big brother, protecting me in the [Fm] streets.
A homie like no [Db] other was always real when he [Gb] speaks.
Soon there'll be time for me, so I'll see you [Fm] later.
God bless, rest in peace, man.
And fuck these [Ebm] men.
Blackbird, dedicated his life to [Ab] the gang.
So if you're on a gang, yo, remember his [F] name.
Arnold Schultz, [Ebm] a miracle, a soldier, [Fm] much love.
Amongst many homeboys who now rest [Ebm] above.

I'm for sure of what I know, my folks got murdered by the [Fm] pro-pos.
They tiptoe to [Db] unload, exposed to cover up and [Ebm] co-co.
Tell me so, don't doubt me, cause up in my town there ain't no [Ab] cushion.
Planted in bushes, the pose of crook, you do see me creeping up out of [Gb] the bushes.
Look at the pain and pose, we lost big Lowe's.
I was gone a while, [Fm] but that hit home.
Never thought it'd get so [Db] sad.
He lost the babies and now [Gb] Rain is gone.
What remains are all my memories, recollections and [Fm] reflections.
I can recall all of my sad ages on our gang.
Distracted [Ebm] with Crave Off Savage.
Smith and Wesson's love was too expensive.
Cause we [Fm] didn't have scratch, but we had each [Ab] other's back.
Now I'm like, damn man, [Ebm] what happened to that?
I miss the times when we would ride tight side by side [Ab] before Lowe's died.
I cried that night at the park, but in my heart and mind [Ebm] he's still alive.
So get it right, it's Blackbird.
[Bb] Could've never been no coward.
Putting in fat work on you rivals.
Keeping the title till it's [Gb] final hour.
Now nothing's the same.
Way to go back, erase the [Fm] gang.
Change is fake, but things ain't tame, it's sane.
Living up in the [F] strange and I remain to be that form O.G.
_ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] _
[Gb] We ain't brave, remember the slender, clever, never tender.
No [Fm] retentive, no surrender, nor the number.
Calling it Blackbird.
[F] But everything at first, let's go backwards.
Reminiscing, quick with stigma, few with [Ab] G's though.
You were riding the hill, [Db] you side route bitches, now fucking [Gb] PNC.
Hose us free off at the high, you within our we hitting [Fm] switches.
I miss you and we're with you, so to you this is [Ebm] a tribute.

So if you're on gang, yo, remember [F] his name.

Ass sweat hit my forehead, feel it trickle through my [Fm] skin.
Hold the name, I get [Db] up to this Blackbird.
Listen, [Gb] remember getting drunk at 80's when PNC was [Fm] around.
I've cut prices on that, you know, caused havoc in [Gb] town.
But then when I did it, you felt like we [Fm] split it.
Cause I was lost in [Ab] that life, and rarely would [Gb] kick my back.
I was gone in that fast paced, [Fm] one track mind.
But if needed, I would ride at a [Ebm] drop of a dime.
When that sucker pulled his strap, I snatched [Fm] his throat by the hand.
You [Ab] slicked like a pit and put [F] hands on the man.
Now that I'm thinking, it's [Fm] good that you did it.
Cause as people were showing, that [Gb] faggot was snitching.
[Ebm] I'm grown now, homie, no [Fm] more foolish behavior.
I'm [Db] the good lady, stuck with the [Gb] sixth sense of a player.
I'm taking care of my daughter, cause [Fm] that girl need a father.
All that bullshit before, [Gb] this nigga don't bother.
Still I'm more than Kelly Brick, on [Fm] a bunch of the head.
[Db] Trying to get a head, who give [Ab] a finger to [Gb] the feds.
Can a dread get to heaven?
[Ab] Have mercy on us, and understand and have compassion for [Gb] the bond amongst friends.
Rest in peace, playboy.
[Fm] We all love you, homie.
I'll [Db] never forget you, Los.
[Gb] Now that you gave out, homie, but for that, I'll be [Fm] with you right here, without a second thought.
