[Verse]
F#m
I ran out of tears when I was 18
C#m
So nobody made me but the main streets
F#m
'Cause too many people think they made me
C#m
Well, if they really made me then replace me
F#m
Homeless to Forbes List, these niggas bring no stress
C#m
I feel like Moses, I feel like I'm chosen
Bm7
And if you ain't my nigga then your girl single to me
C#m
I don't give a damn if a nigga said he knew me
F#m
Grew up with no father so nobody ever "son" me
C#m
My flow too sick, Kevin Costner couldn't touch me
F#m
I know you wish that nobody ever love me
C#m
I feel useless when I'm never making money
F#m
Well, this the life we always fantasized
C#m
Rich folk problem through a Queen Street nigga's eyes
Bm7
Every time you see me pulling up in Aventadors
C#m
Just know we been grinding on them sidewalks

version 2
Key: F#m
Tuning: Standard
Info: In this song from the Starboy album the guitar is prominent. It contains
a high pitched lead guitar and a sharp rythm guitar. Both are tabbed below.
The high pitch can be achieved by playing everything one octave higher
(beginning at 19 instead of 7). This means though that the end of the lick
cannot be played since the fretboard ends at 22. For this reason the lead
guitar is tabbed one octave lower.
For the lead guitar de sign 'AP' means alternate picking. This happens at
the end of the lick where it speeds up.
Enjoy!
[Rythm guitar]
The rythm guitar part consists of 3 chords and is played in the same progression
througout the song:

I ran out of tears when I was eighteen
So nobody made me but the main streets
'Cause too many people think they made me
Well if they really made me, then replace me
Homeless to Forbes list, these niggas bring no stress
I feel like Moses, I feel like I'm chosen
And if you ain't my nigga then your girl single to me
I don't give a damn if a nigga said he knew me
Grew up with no father so nobody ever "son" me
My flow too sick, Kevin Costner couldn't touch me
I know you wish that nobody ever loved me
I feel useless when I'm never making money
Well, this the life we always fantasized
Rich folk problem through a Queen Street nigga's eyes
Every time you see me pulling up in Aventadors
Just know we been grinding on them sidewalks
Sidewalks saved my life
They don't ever lie
Sidewalks saved my life
They showed me all the signs
They don't let me down
But they lead me on
And they don't let me down
But they lead me on
And they lead me on
Say, say say
I come from murder one, brung late night melee
Say, say, say
We hung all summer, sprung mattress with bae bae
Say, say, say
Trippin' off dyke, and my name strike with pay day
Say, say, say
Flippin' blue lighting, tightening, strapped with AK
Say, say, say
OG one, told me one, show me one, eight ways
How to segue
Pussy, power, profit and headache
I reminisce my life innocence
Or life innocent
Or life intimate, with fame
Like limo tint
With light women, dark women in it
Aw Kenny, good game
She wanna hang with a Starboy
The sun and the moon and star, boy
Astronomer, anonymous
I line 'em up, grind 'em up, these nine of us
And five of us have probably fucked
She mollied up, I tallied up all the parts, boy
Twenty legs, arms, head (head)
Head, head, more head (head)
Oh God bless the dead (yeah)
I'm livin' life, high off life
I wear my chokes off to bed
I'm the greatest nigga, why you so scared to say it?
I wanna rock, I wanna rock, I wanna cop more land
I never stop
I wanna quick advance on a bill if it ain't one
Break everything, I'm a hustler, came from
Sidewalks saved my life
Sidewalks saved my life
They don't ever lie
Sidewalks saved my life
Sidewalks saved my life
They showed me all the signs
They don't let me down
But they lead me on
And they don't let me down
But they lead me on
And they lead me on
