AmFGEm
Chorus:
AmFG
Lifeʼs smoking gun looks dangerous
EmAm
Thatʼs the way it is, thatʼs the way it was
FG
When you learn to run, it was in the mud
EmAm
It was in the cold, now itʼs in your blood
FG
I burn from the hell Iʼve seen
EmAm
But the devil canʼt hold me down
FG
Iʼve earned all the hell Iʼll be
Em
Standinʼ on holy ground
Verse:
Am
Ayy, see the devil keep holdinʼ me down
But my people say, "Pop it"
See, I come from the gutter, the mud, the dirt,
but somehow, I got tied to this rocket
Huh, I was down on my luck, I ainʼt had me a buck
Swear this life shit was rocky
Had to figure it out ASAP ʼcause see, now I got kids, I be damned if they copy
Every store we walk in, now we shoppinʼ
If I see it, I like it, I cop it
It was days when I didnʼt have shit
Used to walk through the store, puttinʼ shit in my pockets
Kickinʼ doors, you get caught, keep it solid
All them nights that I felt I was droppinʼ
All them nights I was thugginʼ alone in them streets
If a nigga try me, bet I pop him
Get to thinkinʼ ʼbout shit and get nauseous, shh
All the folks thatʼs six feet in them coffins
All them people thatʼs stuck in them cells, they was
havinʼ that shit, now they canʼt get it off ʼem
All the OGs that used to be bosses
They all dead or in jail, they either was sellinʼ that shit or was smokinʼ that shit
Now the youth lookinʼ crazy as hell (Crazy as hell)
Chorus:
Lifeʼs smoking gun looks dangerous
Thatʼs the way it is, thatʼs the way it was
When you learn to run, it was in the mud
It was in the cold, now itʼs in your blood
I burn from the hell Iʼve seen
But the devil canʼt hold me down
Iʼve earned all the hell Iʼll be
Standinʼ on holy ground
Verse:
They said if I get me some money that shit would get better and change
The only thing changed ʼbout this shit is I got me some money
The rest of this shit still feelinʼ the same
Shit, it probably got worse
ʼCause now I got cake, everybody gonʼ want them a piece
As soon as you text someone, know they gonʼ call you
a Ho ʼcause they swear that you owe them a fee
You canʼt even Do for yourself ʼcause they peep
They gonʼ Go on the internet, make a lilʼ post, sayinʼ, "What about me?"
Shit, what about you? You left me on E
In the jungle, I came out that bitch like a beast
With the lions and tigers, canʼt fuck with no sheep
Canʼt compete with a nigga who come from defeat
Huh, pissed ʼem off when I got on my feet
Huh, pissed ʼem off when I got in my bag
If a nigga hate me, know he mad
How the fuck can you speak out and hate on a nigga who winninʼ
when you know he worked for that bag?
Swear itʼs folks who is weird and they sad
But Iʼm built for it all, thatʼs a fact
But the ones who stayed down and believed in a nigga,
I swear we gonʼ shine even when it get bad, ayy
Chorus:
Lifeʼs smoking gun looks dangerous
Thatʼs the way it is, thatʼs the way it was
When you learn to run, it was in the mud
It was in the cold, now itʼs in your blood
I burn from the hell Iʼve seen
But the devil canʼt hold me down
Iʼve earned all the hell Iʼll be
Standinʼ on holy ground
