Gm Yeah, sometimes Dm You gotta come back down Dm Stoop to someone's level (Yeah)
[Verse]
Gm Five dozen, flies buzzin' over your head Dm Call me the Grim Reaper, sleep is my cousin Dm You dead to me now and I'ma be the last face you see Gm 'Fore you die cussin' Gm Dm My eye a tiger's and I'm a survivor so I will rise up and Dm Dsus4 Be triumphant 'cause when I'm looking at my legacy Gm Bunch of dogs tryna dry hump it Gm Like Triumph The Puppet, so I'm like, "Fuck it" Dm Dm Pile the carnage up 'til its so high, it's touching the sky Gm Let 'em all line up and attack Gm Single filing up in the stack Dm Call 'em toy soldiers (Yeah) Dm 'Cause they just wind up on their backs Dsus4 Now the sky's nothing but black Cm But I am not coming back, I done told ya Gm I told the woke me to go to sleep Cm But still, they keep on provoking me Cm They're hoping to see me completely broken emotionally Dm But how in the fuck am I not supposed to be woke
N.C.
When these fuckers just keep poking me? Now
[Chorus]
Gm I'm leaving Heaven Dm I'm leaving Heaven Gm Angels won't find me Dm Dsus4 Where are you going?
[Verse 2]
Gm I've been down, kicked Gm Like around six thousand times since I was a kid Dm As a child, picked on, clowned Dm Countless times I've been outed Gm Gotta remind myself of it every now and then Gm So the route I went's self-empowerment Dm Dm In a hole, taught myself how to get out of it Dsus4 And balance it with talents, wit Gm 'Cause life is like a penny Gm 'Cause it's only one percent Dm Who overcome this shit, they found the wimp(?) Dm I went AWOL like what my back was up against Gm Don't tell me 'bout struggle, bitch, I lived it Gm Dm I was five or six the first time I got my hind end kicked Dm Dsus4 Malcolm, Isaac, and Boogie jumped me and took my tricycle Gm Gm And I don't know if I would call that white privilege, yeah Dm But I get it, how it feels to be judged by pigment Dm Dsus4 Besides getting it from both sides of the tracks Cm But I swore I'd get them back Gm Even if it meant selling my soul to get revenge and (What?) Cm Thought of a scheme and it got me to thinking Gm If I can believe in myself, I could prolly achieve it
That’s part of the reason I do all my talking when he can
Cm And as long as I'm breathing I vow to smother and beat them Cm Got a heart of a demon, go at 'em and I'ma get even Dm Like I'm in the Garden of Eden, I'm 'bout to go off of the deep end
N.C.
This evil is calling, I'm already seething and
[Chorus]
Gm I'm leaving Heaven Dm I'm leaving Heaven Gm Angels won't find me Dm Dsus4 Where are you going?
[Verse]
Gm F Okay, so while Macklemore was keeping his room nice and neat Dm I was getting my ass beat twice a week Gm A#/G Looking for a place for the night where I could sleep
(Link #1)
Flippin' sofa cushions over just tryin' to see
Gm A#/G If I could find some change and scrape up for a bite to eat
Dm (Link #2)
If tonight you and me find a couple dimes a piece
A#/G
Twenty five cents each'd get us a bag of chips(Link #3)
We'd be glad to get that even we if we had to split
Gm We'd do backward flips, looking back at it F Dm I think that would fit with the definition of not having shit Gm A#/G Couple that with the fact my mother was batshit A#/G Pop was a sack of shit, yeah, he died, but I gave half a shit Gm F Yeah, which brings me back to the real dad that I zero had Gm Since a year-old, forty-seven year-old scab Dm/A Gm Just to hear them words, ear piercing Dm/A Gm Like my earlobe stabbed with a needle for an earring Dm Should I feel upset? You were dead to me 'fore you died Gm Me? Tear no shed Gm Should I have made a mural at your funeral? Gm Had your coffin draped with a hero's flag?
Where the fuck you were at
Dm Gm When De'Angelo done hurt me real bad at the Rio Grande? Gm Never met your grandkids, fucking coward Dm Only gut you had was from your stomach fat Dm I couldn't see your ass gonna Heaven Cm So I'm asking for a pass to go to Hell Cm So I can whip your fucking ass Cm I hate that I'll never get to say "I hate you" to your face Cm No coming back from where I'm going Cm Sky is dark, my soul is black, hand on the shovel Asus Dig with the blade up, and then I step on the metal
N.C.
Vendetta to settle, tell the Devil
[Chorus]
Gm I'm leaving Heaven Dm I'm leaving Heaven Gm Angels won't find me Dm Dsus4 Where are you going? Gm I'm leaving heaven Dm I'm leaving heaven Gm Angels won't find me Dm Dsus4 Where are you going?
[Outro]
Gm Dm So you better, you better run Gm You better, you better run Dm/A You better, you better run Gm You better, you better run (See you in Hell)
