Verse:
           A minorAm
When I was sky high not many of you wanted to see me fall
      Am7Am7
I had one big ego, but I was mentally small
          E MajorE
I thought I was the man, telling everybody what to do
            E7E7
When really they were just using me including my skrilla too
   A minorAm
So look who's laughing now because it definitely ain't me
              Am7Am7
Due to all my fuckery my agent had to lower my fee
             E MajorE
With all the money I owe out, I could own me another key
          E7E7
Instead I sold the house I lived in 'cause I was working for free
A minorAm
My friends were looking at me for help when I couldn't help myself
    Am7Am7
And labelled me a no one when the label put me on it's shelf
  E MajorE
I weren't eating properly and they could see I wasn't well
      E7E7
Still all they seemed to care about was my wealth
A minorAm
Fuck my health
        Am7Am7
See the Tinnitus thing I have, has always put me through hell
    E
Too busy looking out for others and not thinking about myself
             E7E7
I'm rich and paranoid, who else is tryna' fuck with my girl?

Yo, my BM sold like two stories on me for like 30K
   E MajorE
My TM was doing dirty on me like almost every day
      E7E7
Right under my nose, I would have never have known
   A minorAm
So thank fuck that I'm paranoid and I went through his phone
             Am7Am7
Fuck I see a text to his wife
            E
They nearly ruined my life
                                            E7E7
Thinking how's all this information getting printed overnight?
   Am      Am
No lie, no lie
  Am7
I know it's in black and white
         E MajorE
And even though it's in The Times it's still a big bag of shite!
          E7E7
I blame myself for being ignorant and opening up
                A minorAm
But when you're stuck in this industry, you don't know who to trust
    Am7Am7
I'm screaming where is the love?
              E MajorE
'Cause on the flip side, on my kid's life
       E7E7
In the streets I would've opened you up
                A minorAm

  A minorAm
Instead I'm just left with a memory of him dead on the couch
                Am7
