Everybody dressed in all black like the road is

Alarm clock is beepin' but them killas ain't sleepin'

E                             D#
I heard my momma weepin' said I fell off in the deep end

D#m                            D#m
Swimming with the sharks knife in my back is bleeding

     G#m                              G#m    D#m
They letting money block their vision like a blindfold

         C#m                                 D#
Lead the lambs to be slaughtered the enemies eatin' gyro

     G#m                           D#m
Or a yeero, I'm looking round what happened to our heroes

E                     D#
Giving OG status over zeros, naw bro

   G#m                  D#m
So gimme my roses cuz I suppose that it's over

            E                         D#
You letting rats win the battles over soldiers, I'm sick of it
