(rest)              Bm                       G  
First, let me explain that I'm just a black man, 
                              Am7                            Em 
And I come from the darkside, so I'm havin a hard time stayin on track man, 
            Bm                               G 
My mind be racin', and I don't even know what I'm chasin yet 
                       Am7                                                  Em  
Been in and out of relationships, I'm startin to see that it's me where the complications at 
        Bm                      G 
But I'm layin back, prayin' that, you get that piece of mind of me 
  Am7                                        Em 
I thought I was right, but really I'm wrong, but again I was too blind to see, 
Bm                G      
I was in the fast lane chasin my dream, 
            Am7                            Em 
And then it seemed when the fame and cash came, they just got me, 
     Bm     G           Am7   Em                                  Bm 
Goin crazyyyy, (lately, lately) lately I been so faded trying to erase it, 
                     G 
But I just can't cause the drama just grows greater, 
      Am7                         Em 
And I been in so many collisions by puttin shit off till later.

Repeat Chorus. x1 
Repeat Verse. x1 
It's like I'm takin five steps forward, and ten steps back 
Tryna get ahead of the game but I can't seem to get it on track 
And I keep runnin away the ones that say they love me the most 
How could I create the distance when it's supposed to be close? And uh, 
I just don't know but I be out here fightin demons and 
It's like the curse that I can't shake this part of Cleveland and 
Lord, would you help me? And stop this pain 
I keep inflinctin on my family (family) 
Hustlin and gamblin, drinkin' and scramblin' 
And losin sight of what I supposed to be handlin' 
It's hard to manage cause every days a challenge and man 
And I'm slippin can't lose my balance and tryin not to panic 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
Repeat Chorus. x1 
Repeat Verse. x1 
I see thangs won't change (wont change) I'm stuck in the game 
As soon as I get out it keeps pullin me back man (pullin me back man) 
Got me doin' dirty dirt, so used to this hustlin money, 
That I don't understand no nine to five work 
Studied on the streets, hustlas know what I mean 
Thugstas ballin' before us I'm tryna make that major league 
So we never leave never till the sun came up (came up) 
Gotta get it nope, no leavin, no grudge (no grudge) today games they play gotta go hard to get 
what you put in, if you fall off then its all on you (on you) gotta watch what you sign too,  
try so hard but I won't act a fool. 

Repeat Verse. x1

Author's Notes 
--------------- 
So, It really doesn't look like i speant much time on this tab. 
But I really did! It took me forever because i play by ear not by music. 
I had to keep checking my playing and stuff and it was horrible. 
I don't want anyone to take this tab and use it as their own. 
This is my own work and you will be cought using it as your own. 
You can play it, you can do cover videos. But whatever you do, 
always credit the author. That's music for you people and 
it's the law. So anyways enjoy this tab and have fun learning it.
