I went to war last night

With an automatic weapon, don't nobody call a medic
I'm a do it 'til I get it right
          Am7
I went to war last night

         D/F#
I've been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent
Duckin' every other blessin', I can never see the message
      Am7
I can never take the lead, I can never bob and weave
From a negative and letting them annihilate me
       D/F#
And the sound is moving in a meteor speed
Finna run into a building and lay my body in the street
        Am7
Keep my money in the ceiling let my mama know I'm free
Give my story to the children and a lesson they can read
        D/F#
And the glory to the feeling of the only unseen

                                                   Am7
Seen enough, make a motherfucker scream, "I love myself!"
[Spoken]
                       D/F#
I lost my head, I must've misread what the good book said

     Am7
Oh woes keep me, it's a jungle inside

    D/F#
Give myself again 'til the well runs dry
[Outro] Am7 G D/F# F
