D 
Looking for a better way to get up out of bed

We get up fresh out pimp strut walking 

D 
Little bit of humble little bit of cautious

My posse's been on Broadway and we did it our way 

E7          Em           D 
Grown music   I shed my skin and put my bones into everything I record to 

   Em 
it  

               Em 
And yet I'm on let that stage light go and shine on down 

         Em 
Got that Bob Barker suit game and Plinko in my style 

Em                               D7 
Money stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds 

         D7                             C 
But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town

Trust me on my INDEPENDENT    shit hustling 

               Bm 
Chasing dreams since I was fourteen 

         Em 
With the fourtrack bussin' 

D                                                  Em 
Halfway 'cross that city with the backpack fat cat crush shit 

           Em                          D 
Labels out here now they can't tell me nothin' 

                    D                           Em 
We give that to the people spread it across the country

                    Em                        D       GM7 
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us

Em                D7 
Now can I kick it Thank you

D7 
I grew up really wanting gold fronts 

    D7 
But that's what you get when WuTang raised you 

                       D7 
Y'all can't stop me go hard like I've got an eight hundred and eight in my 


heartbeat 

D7 
And I'm eating at the beat like you gave a little speed 

                                     Em 
To a great white shark on Shark Week raw 


Time to go up I'm gone 

G                                  D7 
Deuces goodbye I've got a world to see 

                               Em 
And my girl she wanna see Rome  

                           Em 
Caesar make you a believer nah 


I never ever did it for a throne 

G                                    D 
That validation comes from giving it back to the people now 

          Em 
Sing this song and it goes like 

                  G 
Raise those hands this is our party 

   D                           Em 
We came here to live life like nobody was watching 

         Em 
I got my city right behind me 

     G 
If I fall they got me 

                D 
Learn from that failure gain humility 

    Em 
And then we keep marching I said
