Intro:
E MajorE A augmentedA

Verse:
E MajorE
They tell me life is short
In the blink of an eye we come and die
A augmentedA               E MajorE
Keep it in mind that life is war
E MajorE
Stay grounded, fly and soar
Always know what you fighting for
E MajorE
Aging fast, gotta pave a path and go figure out what my life is for
D MajorD           E MajorE
Quick-witted, and everyday I gotta switch lanes
F# minorF#m                       E MajorE
Fuck race, no pigment, I got thick skin, making big waves
D MajorD        E MajorE
Positive being positive is my legacy
           F# minorF#m
Pray for me or make way for me
                A augmentedA
Because I'm setting out to go change the Earth and I just may
D MajorD               E MajorE
My life is was I call it, and I call it successful
   F# minorF#m
Now everybody wanna eyeball it
Like "How the fuck he do that though?"
D MajorD
Take pride in your every action
E MajorE
Everyday of my life is work
F# minorF#m
And they tell me that time is money
     A augmentedA
But only I know what that time is worth

Chorus:
 D MajorD     F# minorF#m        E MajorE A augmentedA
Even if the sky was falling down
D MajorD      F# minorF#m       E MajorE        A augmentedA
Even if the sky was falling, I'm not falling down
     D MajorD
I stand tall through it all
   F# minorF#m        E MajorE       A augmentedA
I've risked too much to just give up now
         D MajorD   F# minorF#m E MajorE A augmentedA
I'm pushing on through
       D MajorD     F# minorF#m  E MajorE
Sure as the tide rolls in at night
A augmentedA     D MajorD       F# minorF#m     E MajorE
I'll still be here at the end of days screaming at the sky
     D MajorD   F# minorF#m     E MajorE       A augmentedA
Let the fire consume and cleanse what's before me
 D MajorD      F# minorF#m   E MajorE
Behold, I'll build my empire before the ashes hit the ground

Verse:
E MajorE
Life inside a piece of paper, live it through my pen and pad
Lead inside my pencil like the hammer on my pistol back
There ain't no hitting back
Life it ain't no tennis match
F# minorF#m          C# minorC#m           D MajorD
All over the net but that ain't where I do business at
         E MajorE
Face to face with adversity and intimidation
F# minorF#m          C# minorC#m      D MajorD
This is real, this is raw, ain't no imitation
   E MajorE              F# minorF#m
No limitations ain't a ceiling in sight
There ain't no rules or regulations either yield or you fight
       D MajorD                E MajorE
Just take a look at where I been that's some appealing advice
       F# minorF#m               A augmentedA
Cause you can build until it falls or keep it real and you rise

Chorus:
 D MajorD     F# minorF#m        E MajorE A augmentedA
Even if the sky was falling down
D MajorD      F# minorF#m       E MajorE        A augmentedA
Even if the sky was falling, I'm not falling down
     D MajorD
I stand tall through it all
   F# minorF#m        E MajorE       A augmentedA
I've risked too much to just give up now
         D MajorD   F# minorF#m E MajorE A augmentedA
I'm pushing on through
       D MajorD     F# minorF#m  E MajorE
Sure as the tide rolls in at night
A augmentedA     D MajorD       F# minorF#m     E MajorE
I'll still be here at the end of days screaming at the sky
