Intro:
EmDAm
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Verse:
EmD
With my sixty-nine, fire bird from the curb
Am
I done had to work it like a square and had to serve
EmD
Iʼm listeninʼ to BIG and Dre and crumblinʼ on herb
Am
Iʼm pushinʼ down MLK with a quarter pound of herb
EmD
Passinʼ through the tempʼ, I say a prayer for fallen soldiers
Am
Rest in peace to Bruce and may God be with BE Yola
EmD
God bless the dead, thatʼs for Boonk, thatʼs for V
Am
And God protect the livinʼ, thatʼs for me and thatʼs for Sweet (Yeah)
EmD
We done made it up from shorties drinkinʼ forties, livinʼ lawless (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Am
Today shit finna flame, diamond flawless and I fault this (Yeah, yeah)
EmD
Thank the Lord I ainʼt a junkie, ainʼt an alcoholic (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Am
The pride of Atlanta, Michael Render studied ballinʼ, all in
Chorus:
EmDAm
Letʼs bring out the champagne, roll up an airplane, life is a rare thing (Life is a rare thing)
EmDAm
We rise, we fall, even when back to wall, I find a way I can maintain, yeah
EmDAm
Treat MLK like my memory lane, ainʼt no feelinʼ the same, hope you feelinʼ my pain
EmDAm
I put my blood, sweat, and tears in the game, ainʼt no feelinʼ the same, hope you feelinʼ my pain
Bridge:
I remember them days, makinʼ minimum wage
I was tryna maintain, look how far I done came
Pop champagne for the pain, Iʼm campagininʼ for change
All the progress we made, bigger things on the way
Verse:
Hoppinʼ over hurdles into my Chevy converter (Yeah)
Swerve around them haters that donʼt wish to see me further (Oh)
My campaign for champagne couldʼve ended with my murder
Miss Betty say, "If you ainʼt saved in Jesus name, itʼs worser"
I had to be my own boss, not somebody elseʼs worker
I know the prayer she prayed for me still served as my preserver
I know some of my actions, they was taxinʼ and I hurt her (Oh-oh-oh)
But Lord, if she listeninʼ, please let her know I heard her (Yeah)
Chorus:
Letʼs bring out the champagne, roll up an airplane, life is a rare thing (Life is a rare thing)
We rise, we fall, even when back to wall, I find a way I can maintain, yeah
Treat MLK like my memory lane, ainʼt no feelinʼ the same, hope you feelinʼ my pain
I put my blood, sweat, and tears in the game, ainʼt no feelinʼ the same, hope you feelinʼ my pain
