verse 1: Beyoncé 

   Dm                                   C   Dm 
      Tryna rain, tryna rain on the thunder,  tell the storm I'm new 
C  Dm                                       C   Dm 
      I'm a wall, come and march on the regular,  painting white flags blue 
C  Dm                                    C  Dm 
      Lord forgive me, I've been running,     running blind in truth 
C  Dm                                     C    Dm 
      I'ma rain, I'ma rain on this bitter love,  tell the sweet I'm new 


Pre-Chorus 1: Beyoncé 

Dm           A7                           Dm               Am7 
Ooh-ooh, I'm telling these tears, "Go and fall away, fall away", oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
Dm         Am7             Dm 
   May the last one burn into flames 

 

Dm                             C Dm                    C 
Freedom, freedom, I can't move,  freedom, cut me loose 
Dm                               C     Dm 
Freedom, freedom, where are you, cause I need freedom too 
        F                                  G 
I break chains all by myself, won't let my freedom rot in hell 
                       D 
Hey, I'ma keep running, cause a winner don't quit on themselves

C  Dm                                      C    Dm

C  Dm                                    C  Dm

C  Dm                                           C    Dm

C Dm   C Dm   C Dm   C Dm 

                           C         Dm 
Ten Hail Marys, I meditate for practice 
                              C          Dm 
Channel 9 news tell me I'm movin' backwards 
                                   C      Dm 
Eight blocks left, death is around the corner 
                                     C    Dm 
Seven misleadin' statements 'bout my persona 
                                C  Dm 
Six headlights wavin' in my direction 
                                   C  Dm 
Five-O askin' me what's in my possession 
                                      C Dm 
Yeah I keep runnin', jump in the aqueducts 
                                                      C  Dm 
Fire hydrants and hazardous, smoke alarms on the back of us 
                                                         C  Dm

                                       C Dm 
Stole from me, lied to me, nation hypocrisy 
                                                 C  Dm 
Code on me, drive on me, wicked, my spirit inspired me 


     Dm            Am 
Like yeah, open correctional gates in higher desert 
Dm             Am7 
Yeah, open our mind as we cast away oppression 
Dm             Am7 
Yeah, open the streets and watch our beliefs 
              Dm 
And when they carve my name inside the concrete, I pray it forever reads 


Dm                             C Dm                    C

Hey, I'ma keep running, cause a winner don't quit on themselves
