[Intro]
      Cmaj7
After years and fears and smiling through my tears
Em
All I ask of you is open your ears
Cmaj7
 'Cause the truth ain't pretty my dear
Em
  It's been dark, been hard out–
 
 
[Verse 1]
  Fmaj7
Uh   On my way, figured a way, figured a way out
Em7
  My pen is a gun, pen is a gun, I'm finna spray now
Dm7
  He said I was out, said I was done, look at his face now
Dm7
  Hm, hm, ah, uh, ah, uh
Fmaj7
  Tell them boys, feeling them boys, meet at the stake house
Em7
  I been a mess, so I'm in a dress and I got my cakes out
Dm7
  Sleeping on her, sleeping on me, I'm in your face now
Dm7
  Hm, no, no, no, no, no
 
 
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
  What you know about hustling?
     Em7
As a young girl (Young girl) in the dungeons (Dungeons)
Dm7
  What you know about making amends?
         Dm7
With the devils in your face you must pretend
N.C.
Uh, ah
 
 
[Verse 3]
Fmaj7
  CR0, I'm from the ends but I'm a actor
Em7                                                Em7
  Smile in your face all of thе pricks, all of the wankers
Dm7
  I had to chill, smoke it away, managе my anger
 
 
[Verse 4]
   Fmaj7
Ooh, what you know about systems?
       Em7
About drugged drinks, fucking nearly dying from addictions
Dm7
  You start to wonder why I'm Christian
            N.C.
Without the Lord, I'd take my life for all the times I've been a victim
N.C.
Oh, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper

Em7                        Am                 Fmaj7
You wasn't trying, you was sitting on diamonds   (Hm)
Em7                       Am                Fmaj7
  You gon' have to see me now, I'm shining, hyped up, blinding
