Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: Bm
[Intro]
Bm D F#m
My intuition is telling me there'll be better days
Bm D F#m
My intuition is telling me there'll be better days
[Verse 1]
Bm
Yeah, my intuition is telling me there'll be better days
Bm
I sit in silence and find whenever I meditate
D
My fears alleviate, my tears evaporate
F#m
My faith don't deviate, ideas don't have a date
Bm
But see I'm growing and getting stronger with every breath
Bm
Bringing me closer to Heaven's doors with every step
D
As we speak I'm at peace, no longer scared to die
F#m
Most niggas don't believe in God and so they terrified
Bm
It's either that or they be fearing they gon' go to Hell
Bm D
Asking the Father for forgiveness, got 'em overwhelmed (Please, God, I want to go to Heaven)
F#m
As if He's spiteful like them white folks that control the jail
Bm
See I believe if God is real, He'd never judge a man
Bm
Because He knows us all and therefore He would understand
D
The ignorance that make a nigga take his brother life
F#m
The bitterness and pain that got him beating on his wife
[Chorus]
Bm Bm
I know you desperate for a change let the pen glide
D
But the only real change come from inside (Come from inside)
F#m
But the only real change come from inside (Come from inside)
But the only real change come from
Bm Bm
In cemeteries or in chains I see men cry
D
But the only real change come from inside (Come from inside)
F#m
But the only real change come from inside (Come from inside)
But the only real change come from
[Verse 2]
Bm
Yeah, my chosen religion
Jesus piece frozen from sinnin'
Bm
Doin' dirt, hoping to God, He know my intentions
D
To see a million 'fore I see a casket
F#m
I got a baby on the way, know he gon' be a bastard
Bm
I'm living fast like I'm in a drag race, how that cash taste
Bm
When I was a senior, I was ballin' on my classmates
D
Niggas put three bullets in my car, one hit the gas tank
F#m
Know I got a angel cause I'm supposed to have a halo
Bm Bm
Right now, my lifestyle destined for a federal facility
For my ability to make them birds fly
D
Fiends wanna get higher than a bird's eye view
F#m
And who am I to tell a nigga what to do?
Bm
I just supply, it's economics
My business ain't got the suit and tie
Bm
Keep a pistol at all times, niggas want what's mine
D
I can't oblige, dog, I work too hard
F#m
So reach for it, get referred to God, I'm going hard, nigga
[Chorus]
Bm Bm
I know you desperate for a change let the pen glide
D
But the only real change come from inside (Come from inside)
F#m
But the only real change come from inside (Come from inside)
But the only real change come from
Bm Bm
In cemeteries or in chains I see men cry
D
But the only real change come from inside (Come from inside)
F#m
But the only real change come from inside (Come from inside)
But the only real change come from
[Verse 3]
Bm
Yeah, prodigal son, got a new gun
Bm
This one don't run out of ammo
Lately been working on my handles
D
Can I ball, become a star and remain my self?
F#m
If I fall, dust it off and regain my self
Bm
Fuck 'em all, they don't know all the pain I felt
Bm D
I'm in awe, after all the fame I felt, I evolved
F#m
I no longer bury demons, I be a vessel for the truth until I'm barely breathing, I'm singing
[Bridge]
Bm Bm D
Life is all about the evolution
I give up, I give in, I move back a little
F#m
I live up, I look up, now I'm back for more
Bm Bm D
You can dream but don't neglect the execution
I give up, I give in, I move back a little
F#m
I live up, I look up, now I'm back for more
Bm Bm D
Time is short that's what somebody told me
I give up, I give in, I move back a little
F#m
I live up, I look up, now I'm back for more
Bm Bm D
Too short to keep following your homies
I give up, I give in, I move back a little
F#m
I live up, I look up, now I'm back for more
[Bridge]
N.C.
I reminisce back to a time where niggas threw they hands
N.C.
All of a sudden niggas pop a trunk and then we scram
N.C.
Finger on trigger make a little nigga understand
N.C.
What it's like to finally be the motherfuckin' man
N.C.
Eyes wide that's from the power that the coward feels
N.C.
Niggas die over bitches, disrespect, and dollar bills
N.C.
Bloodshed that turned the city to a battlefield
N.C.
I call it poison, you call it real (pop, pop, pop, pop)
N.C.
That's how you feel?
[Verse 4]
Bm
Pistols be poppin' and niggas drop in a heartbeat
Bm
Scattered like roaches, a body laid on the concrete
D
A body laid on the concrete
F#m
Look, somebody laid on the concrete
Bm
No time for that, ain't no lookin' back, cause I'm running too
Bm
I made it home, I woke up and turned on the morning news
D
Overcame with a feeling I can't explain
F#m
Cause that was my nigga James that was slain, he was 22
N.C.
(Last night at around...) He was 22
N.C.
(22 year old black male, suspect, reporting live...)
[Outro]
N.C.
(I swear to God, bruh)
N.C.
We're gathered here today...
N.C.
(I swear to God)
N.C.
To mourn the life of James McMillan Jr
N.C.
(I swear to God nigga, I'ma kill them niggas, man)
N.C.
A tragedy, another tragedy in the black community
N.C.
(I promise you, bro...)
N.C.
We got to do better, people
N.C.
22 years old, this boy was too young
N.C.
(I promise you, bro, I'ma kill them niggas, yo...)
N.C.
Our condolences go to his family, our prayers
N.C.
(I'ma kill them niggas myself...)
N.C.
We know he's in a better place
N.C.
We know he's in a better place
N.C.
But this has got to end, ladies and gentleman
N.C.
We've got to come together, this is this is beyond words
N.C.
Now I'd like to open this ceremony with a verse from...
