[Chorus]
Bm C Everyone's time's gonna fade away.. D Em Dust to dust and Amazing Grace.... Bm C Only thing I'm leaving is my last name.... D Oh, and an empty grave
[Verse 1]
Em One day I'll be in a box I ain't talkin' about a grave Bm I'm talkin' 'bout a box of greatest hits I made along the way C Found on a dirt road 'cause I ain't never had shit paved D And when the roots grow back I'll be a mystery per se Em No askin' folks in Nashville 'cause I refuse to go and sign Bm Walked in houses of legends that made a impact on your life C Takin' advice from people who have platinum records with Slim Shady D Went on vacation with country superstars even though I'm crazy Em And on a psycho social roller coaster, no seat belts doin' loops Bm My mind got a vault like a doomsday preppin' loony toon C Stay boucin' off these walls like my house is made of gymnastic mats D And I'll be rappin' 'til I'm 90 out of shape with cataracts Em Cause I ain't got to see a road to cut a trail and make a path Bm I'm 27 and I know this whole city feelin' my wrath C Just wait 'til I'm 30 and fine tuned like a Stratocaster D Em I'm not biodegradable still the cleanest white trash and I'm Church
[Chorus]
Bm C Everyone's time's gonna fade away.. D Em Dust to dust and Amazing Grace... Bm C Only thing I'm leaving is my last name... D Oh, and an empty grave
[Verse 2]
Em Most people in denial about the timeline of life Bm The burnin' of a flame one goes out then one goes up and strikes C I stepped into the shallow water knowin' one day I'll drown D To the noise of screamin' voices and Instagram shutter sounds Em Right now for me it's just now, startin' to get kinda loud Bm I'm gettin' pointed out in malls from a couple surroundin' crowds C People threatin' to jump me and want to show up to my house D You're creatin' a crazy person with loaded guns in his house Em And everyday that passes I'm becomin' Bm More intelligent to social negligence, No matter what the cadence is C All I see is some adjectives, I'm drastically paintin' you cinematic action D Mixed with words I scrambled off of every part of the alphabet Em How gooder can I get I think the game is hibernatin' Bm Or overdosed on manufactured faces and sound waves C So won't you put me in that box and put my voice in one that's separate D Em One's a death box the other's gonna be a livin' statement and they know it
[Chorus]
Bm C Everyone's time's gonna fade away.. D Em Dust to dust and Amazing Grace... Bm C Only thing I'm leaving is my last name.... D Oh, and an empty grave
[Verse 3]
Em Knock, knock. Who's there? It's the end of your career Bm Yeah what's up you motherfucker been waitin' to see you here C I've been dyin' to meet you and that's really no pun intended D I've met every goal I wanted made the impact for my people Em And held them southern roots before every song that I made Bm And got invited to show up and attend the CMA'S C But my ass never went I went ghost when they called me to that stage D Cause I don't need people to clap to make me proud of my name Em To make me proud of my songs, to make me proud of my lyrics Bm I was built out of southern spirit only found in the thicket C My bloodline the thickest, fuck all the fame and the riches D That shit all fades away but not the voice of a legend who's preachin' Em And that's why they call me Church, cross my heart hope to die Bm Stick a needle in my eye, and have to do it three times C To even almost make me blind, 'cause my third one don't even blink D So I see you before you see yourself when you try comin' for me Em Church
[Chorus]
Bm C Everyone's time's gonna fade away.. D Em Dust to dust and Amazing Grace.... Bm C Only thing I'm leaving is my last name... D E5 Oh, and an empty grave...
