Key: Bm

Chorus:
Bm               Em              F#m
  Because it's hard to find your love,
I found it out
Bm                       Em
  Because you better not stay,
               F#m
you better not stay
Bm             Em                F#m
  Because it's hard to find your love,
I found it out
Bm                     Em
  Because this_love_is so
      F#m
non-desirable, oh

[Verse 1: Black Thought]
               Bm
I'm from where too many lives
twenty-five years or fewer
Em                          F#m
Nothing we receive is brand new, it's just newer
      Bm
While brothers drop down to their knees and make dua
   Em                         F#m
Popsicle sticks race_down_the curb into the sewer
    Bm
The next American hangman sketched in crayon
Em               F#m
Gangland all a façade that you can spray on
Bm
Killin' birds with one stone is_what_we_stay_on
Em                 F#m
Wingspan never_too_wide for_you_to_prey on
Bm
The ways never cease to amaze or in-spire
  Em                       F#m
Illiterate, the signatures been forged in fire
Bm
  Broken spirit, some assembly required
      Em                         F#m
It confirmed the door of no return at Elmina
Bm
Screamin' into the ocean for emotional support
   Em                       F#m
We never won awards, we was wards of the court
        Bm
Puttin' swords to umbilical cords to cut 'em short
     Em                  F#m
Translation: vacation is at a last resort


Chorus:
Bm               Em              F#m
  Because it's hard to find your love,
I found it out
Bm                       Em
  Because you better not stay,
               F#m
you better not stay
Bm             Em                F#m
  Because it's hard to find your love,
I found it out
Bm                     Em
  Because this_love_is so
      F#m
non-desirable, oh


[Verse 2: Black Thought]
        Bm
We took shoestrings, lemon drops and chips from the deli
Em                           F#m
Knocked 'em out the box with spinner tops and skelly
 Bm
"Do it, you'll get to it," what Mr. Womack would tell me
Em                          F#m
I was locked, my celly read Niccolò Machiavelli
       Bm
This inheritance was negative - beverage is the devil's piss
Em                F#m
State's evidence, give_us_anything_instead_of_this
Bm
Drama, in the mirror like Yayoi Kusama
       Em                      F#m
Had me turnin' to Muhammad, to Buddha, to Dalai Lama
   Bm
If I would snatch a shoulder bag from somebody mama
     Em                  F#m
Am I cancerous? Can't discuss what the short answer was
Bm
  Hungriest ones take the money and run
          Em                    F#m
Sometimes simultaneously taking one of your lungs
       Bm
What_I_mean is, I've seen everything that's under the sun
       Em                       F#m
Niggas below the poverty line - live under the gun
       Bm
We_all_schemin', savages ain't vegan, what the fuck is love?
Em                       F#m
  Don't need a reason to die, we die just because


Chorus:
Bm               Em              F#m
  Because it's hard to find your love,
I found it out
Bm                       Em
  Because you better not stay,
               F#m
you better not stay
Bm             Em                F#m
  Because it's hard to find your love,
I found it out
Bm                     Em
  Because this_love_is so
      F#m
non-desirable, oh


[Verse 3: Russ]
    Bm
Yeah, my girl told me I should watch my tongue
             Em                            F#m
My skin gets red too easy, she don't wanna change her name like Washington
Bm
Wonders where I got it from,
                           Em
my parents' marriage was a toxic one
       F#m
Mm, oh well, I'm 'bout to cop a gun
Bm
Hope I got to use it, it'll help blow up the music
       Em                              F#m
I know somethin' slightly off with me, drama is therapeutic
    Bm
Ego hates feeling futile, sometimes I move without scruples
            Em                             F#m
Like havin' Mrs. Perfect with me and still chasin' approval
           Bm
From other women, I'm a glutton, I can't run from who I become
Em                               F#m
Dad's around the corner, haven't seen him in like three months
         Bm
We don't speak much, I don't handle balance well, got a fragile shell
   Em                               F#m
My money split the king and queen - up, then the castle fell
Bm
  The tension in the air is still crisp
            Em                               F#m
Sometimes I wish this game was over like I'm Lil' Flip (Flip)
              Bm
Sometimes I'm wishing that my brain came with a kill switch
          Em                          F#m
I don't vacation, dawg, I guilt trip, real shit, yeah


Chorus:
Bm               Em              F#m
  Because it's hard to find your love,
I found it out
Bm                       Em
  Because you better not stay,
               F#m
you better not stay
Bm             Em                F#m
  Because it's hard to find your love,
I found it out
Bm                     Em
  Because this_love_is so
      F#m
non-desirable, oh


[Verse 4: Joey Bada$$]
        Bm
I was on thirty-four cruisin' through Medina
      Em                 F#m
I was just a Neo 'fore I had the nina
          Bm
I had the snapback with the t-shirt
                     Em
Practicin' my ollie, I could hardly get my feet up
F#m                   Bm
  Had to hit the staircase just to roll the reefer, uh
                Em                       F#m
Now I'm smokin' big Cohibas out in Costa Rica like pura vida
Bm                                                  Em
  Havin' flashbacks of niggas gettin' clapped at in front the cleaners
    F#m                           Bm
On 34th Street, until this day it haunts me
It's why I had to move raunchy
  Em                        F#m
I know killers in Marcy, so please don't taunt me
Bm
  I spent some summer times in Canarsie
Em                                F#m
  Me and Quan gettin' stopped and frisked by Hutch and Starsky
Bm
  They was lookin' for hard drugs an' armory
Em                    F#m
  Mama told me not to let that shit bother me
Bm
  Poppa said to move cautiously
       Em
So the streets would never father me
    F#m
But you don't know that part of me

Chorus:
Bm               Em              F#m
  Because it's hard to find your love,
I found it out
Bm                       Em
  Because you better not stay,
               F#m
you better not stay
Bm             Em                F#m
  Because it's hard to find your love,
I found it out
Bm                     Em
  Because this_love_is so
      F#m
non-desirable, oh
