Verse:
            Am                 F           E7
Seemed like yesterday, I was a baby on the street
         Am              F             E7
I took a holiday, I was steppin to the beat
         Am                  F          E7
I had to pay my rent, on the lower east side
           Am                     F             E7
I threw my tag around, let B-boys take me for a ride
          Am                     F            E7
I started writing songs, I kinda got into the groove
              Am            F            E7
They tried to criticize, my every single move
           Am              F               E7
But then I realized, I had nothing left to lose
           Am                    F          E7
It took me by surprise, when I became the news

Chorus:
      F
I was fearless, like a renegade
        C               Am
I had a feeling, that I canʼt explain
         F
I didnʼt listen, to what people said
C              Am
I came I saw I conquered
      F
I was constant, as a northern star
        C     Am
I had a fire, burning in my heart
        F
I never gave up, fighting in the dark
C              Am
I came I saw I conquered
Dm   Am
oooh I came I saw I conquered
Dm   Am
oooh I came I saw I conquered

Verse:
    Am                          F               E7
I expressed myself, came like a virgin down the aisle
           Am               F              E7
Exposed my naked ass, and I did it with a smile
            Am                    F                E7
And when it came to sex, I knew I walked the borderline
            Am                    F                   E7
And when I struck a pose, all the gay boys lost their mind
       Am                       F               E7
I justified my love, I made you say your little prayer
       Am                    F              E7
Had me crucified, you know I had to take it there
         Am                         F             E7
I opened up my heart, I learned the power of good-bye
        Am            F              E7
I saw a ray of light, music saved my life

Chorus:
      F
I was fearless, like a renegade
        C               Am
I had a feeling, that I canʼt explain
         F
I didnʼt listen, to what people said
C              Am
I came I saw I conquered
      F
I was constant, as a northern star
        C     Am
I had a fire, burning in my heart
        F
I never gave up, fighting in the dark
C              Am
I came I saw I conquered
Dm   Am
oooh I came I saw I conquered
Dm   Am
oooh I came I saw I conquered

Verse:
     Am         F
In 1994, I came through the door
                     Am
With that born beats versus scratches
         F
Verbally murdered rappers
Am                             F
 My momʼs from the Carolinaʼs, pops from Natchez
                  Am
And QBʼs where I started flowing
                     F
But I was scared the cops was gonna kick my apartment door in
Am                    F
 Had a baby girl by a crazy girl then I got married
     Am                           F
Heavily accosted, that ended in a bad divorce
                                   Am
And I know how to pick ʼem, donʼt I?
             F
Never gave a fuck about public pressure
                        Am
Or the ridicule of two
Now whoʼs the fool?
      F                            Am
And I ainʼt never been happier, no lie
             F
Iʼm just you humble servant, Iʼm Nas
Am                  F
 If yʼall burn down Ferguson Iʼmma riot
   Am                            F
My life cannot be compared to anybody
                  Am
Any trappers, any rappers
                 F
Any politicians, beauticians, a musician
Am
Anybody, so Iʼm anybodies
F
Many coffins, heads or tails
Am
Penny tosses, we either dead or in jail
    F
Not many options on the block I came from
Am            F                      Am
 And I turned to a rap messiah, spit rapid fire
      F
And I roll right back to the block I came from

Chorus:
      F
I was fearless, like a renegade
        C               Am
I had a feeling, that I canʼt explain
         F
I didnʼt listen, to what people said
C              Am
I came I saw I conquered
      F
I was constant, as a northern star
        C     Am
I had a fire, burning in my heart
        F
I never gave up, fighting in the dark
C              Am
I came I saw I conquered
Dm   Am
oooh I came I saw I conquered
Dm   Am
oooh I came I saw I conquered
