I've been through hoodies and sneakers to beepers and record features
Abm                                                 
Hustlin' nicks of reefer to tusslin' with the reaper
Abm                                        
Sensory deprivation to ultimate synesthesia
Abm                                                        
Freein' our brothers' keeper from teeth of another creature
Abm                                                        
Breakin' and enterin' to the theater the search and seizure
   Db                                                   
Is the worth of genius somewhere between Earth and Venus
                        Abm                      
At her convenience even nonbelievers make prayers
Db                                           
Haters and naysayers is buried in cake layers
  Db                                                  
I take day as a blessing and see the night as a lesson
Db                                                
Twilight is a message for me to write a confession
    Abm      Db                             
The matrix a dominatrix seeking to be served
Abm7 Abm                                         
Ever patiently waiting with the demons we deserve
Abm                                                        
Better be willing to pay with every dream that you deferred
   Abm                                                   
If the vehicle should swerve learn to lean into the curve
Abm                                            
After workin' up the nerve almost equal in size
         Db                                          
I walked around with the iron for any wrinkle in time
      Db                                            
I pay the piece of my mind for every nickel and dime
          Db                                         
But never less than a five and never slept on the job
         Db                                            
A killer jumped on your squad yet never left the garage
          Db                                               
When your God was close enough to see the flesh of his eyes
    Db                                                   
Get to the button and press it's what the message advised
         Gb                            Db                
What's a threat Behind a mess is where the testament lies


[Chorus]
             Abm             
Everything's ■   burning down
       Abm                
When I close my eyes again
Db E Gb Abm

I don't understand my friend my friend ■  ■ ■
