[Verse 3]
      Am                   F
Man a big man now, still a man and not bitch
          G                              Em
We had to put the skins down and put the pen on our hips
           Am                            F
I got your babes and your babe mothers sending me pics
G                            Em
Guess I'm just a legend like Chris
                          Am
You know I had to get the stage laid
                  F
Just in case my melanin drips
          G                       Em
You know, black gold all over my denims and shit
            Am                    F
I guess I'm ready to dip, feeling very legit
        G              Em
But Timbuktu, that's a hell of a trip
         Am                         F
Alright, I swear on your mum's life that you really love me
  G                        Em
I fly out now and drop everything to be with you
Am                       F
This doesn't come twice, all we got is one life
  G                        Em
I was on the fence who was doing what you needed to
Am                        F
Then they hit you with the beetlejuice
G                         Em
Scary how the mother bird has treated you
                   Am
So meet me at terminal five,
              F                             G
Put all your burdens aside, give you a permanent life
              Em
Now get your arse on this plane
 
[Chorus]
      Am                   F                G        Em
Well, I don't know who you are or where you come from
        Am             F             G   Em
But I know that I'd go anywhere with you
          Am              F                 G        Em
Where the days are always dark or where the sun shone
         Am  F  G Em
Or maybe Timbuktu
 
[Chorus]
      Am                   F                G        Em
Well, I don't know who you are or where you come from
        Am             F             G   Em

          Am              F                 G        Em

      Am F G Em
