[Intro] Dm7 Dm
            Dm
The young gun

Dm7              Gm7           Gm
I'm grievin' for the young gun

Gm                 Dm7            Dm7   Dm
I'm thinkin' 'bout them young guns
[Verse]
                     Dm7
Lil' homie got life, he was only sixteen

                     Dm7
Lil' homie would pop pills, lil' homie would sip lean

                     Dm7
Used to tell him all the time, lil' homie just get clean

                      Dm7
Said "I had to do it, Jelly, they were tryna kill me"

     Gm7
So I feel the weight on my shoulder blades

              Gm7
Know that any day I could explode with rage

                  Dm7
The one that know the least always got the most to say

                Dm7
If it's made us strong nobody get blown away

          Dm7
Still I'm country as catfish with coleslaw

  Dm7
I done seen 'em get hit over a phone call

  Dm7
I done seen 'em go switch and outta toes y'all

            Dm7
I done seen a man go snitch on all his road dogs

           Gm7
Doin' this awhile and I don't feel it anymore

                  Gm7
But I came a long way from when I'm kickin' in them doors

                Dm7
Told me build a legacy and I been buildin' it for sure

                        Dm7
I've been dreamin' that I'm walkin' on a million dollar floor

        Dm7
Woke up on the dark side of the moon

                      Dm7
Listen close, hear my soul singin' out of tune

                           Dm7
And they say you're out of mind if you're outta fuel

                       Dm7
I feel like I'm out my mind and without a clue

              Gm7
And I told my nephew, don't let 'em deceive you

              Gm7
You don't get another shot, you don't get a redo

              Dm7
You don't get another take, you don't get a sequel

                Dm7
So don't let it stress you, remember to keep cool
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm7                      Gm7       Dm7
I light night skies with taillights

Dm7                      Gm7
I hear those wolves call goodnight

Gm7                      Gm7
I feel those flames burn inside

Dm7               Am
I wear no mask or disguise
[Chorus]
Dm
I'm a young gun

Dm
They ask where do we come from

       Dm
From a place where most people run from

          Dm7
Where the men of the family die so young

       Dm                       Gm7
So the women gotta raise up the young ones

Gm7
Goodnight to the young guns

Gm
Mama take care of the young ones

Dm7
Grow up to be someone

Dm7
I grew up to be a young gun
[Verse]
     Dm7
Mama cried when my daddy passed away

                       Dm7
Then she stepped up to the plate to raise a man

                          Dm7
And I ain't understand at the time, I was only ten

                         Dm7
Had a feelin' that my destiny had been planned

               Gm7
I'll be damned if I end up like he did

                            Gm7
Faster with the banger than Billy the Kid

                           Dm7
Never had a father figure, only 2Pac and hard liquor

  Dm7
Ambitionz of a ridah, westside

     Dm7
Face first in the streets, all eyez on me

      Dm7
Tryna fill a legacy

                        Dm7
Forty-five and I have a key so demons never leave

                 Dm7
Even though mama prayed up, I still stayed up

     Gm7
Late nights in a dark alley

                  Gm7
Call of the wild, screaming out, callin' my name

            Dm7
My soul has been pulled up by chains, back in the reins

Dm7
Apache blood runs through my veins

          Dm7
Came from the flame so I cannot explain

            Dm7
The feelin' I get from the pain

                   Dm7
Comfort I get from the chaos, at home on these streets

                     Dm7
I can't stay off I'm lit like the candles in seance

             Gm7
They pray on my people and say that we're evil

            G7                     Dm7
We're dyin' by needles to fly with the eagles

              Dm7
They laws are illegal, immoral, deceitful

            Dm7
I guess I'm supposed to be passive and peaceful
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm7                      Dm
I light night skies with taillights

Dm7                      A
I hear those wolves call goodnight

Gm                       G
I feel those flames burn inside

Dm             Dm
I wear no mask or disguise
[Chorus]
            Dm
I'm a young gun, They ask where do we come from

Dm
From a place where most people run from

Dm
Where the men of the family die so young

Dm
So the women gotta raise up the young ones

Gm                          Gm                               Dm7
Goodnight to the young guns, Mama take care of the young ones

                       Dm
Grow up to be someone, I grew up to be a young gun
[Outro] Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 Gm Gm Dm Dm
Dm                  Dm
I light night skies with taillights

D      Fm           Gm
I hear those wolves call goodnight

Gm                  Gm
I feel those flames burn inside

Dm             Dm                           Dm
I wear no mask or disguise, I'm a young gun
