Verse 2:
G minorGm
I've been down, kicked

Like around six thousand times since I was a kid
DmDm
As a child, picked on, clowned
DmDm
Countless times I've been outed
G minorGm
Gotta remind myself of it every now and then
G minorGm
So the route I went's self-empowerment
DmDm DmDm
In a hole, taught myself how to get out of it

And balance it with talents, wit

And I don't know if I would call that white privilege, yeah
DmDm
But I get it, how it feels to be judged by pigment
DmDm Dsus4Dsus4
Besides getting it from both sides of the tracks
C minorCm
But I swore I'd get them back
G minorGm
Even if it meant selling my soul to get revenge and (What?)
C minorCm
Thought of a scheme and it got me to thinking
G minorGm
If I can believe in myself, I could prolly achieve it
That’s part of the reason I do all my talking when he can
C minorCm
And as long as I'm breathing I vow to smother and beat them
C minorCm
Got a heart of a demon, go at 'em and I'ma get even

Verse:
G minorGm FF
Okay, so while Macklemore was keeping his room nice and neat
DmDm
I was getting my ass beat twice a week
G minorGm A#/G
Looking for a place for the night where I could sleep
(Link #1)
Flippin' sofa cushions over just tryin' to see
G minorGm A#/G
If I could find some change and scrape up for a bite to eat
DmDm (Link #2)
If tonight you and me find a couple dimes a piece
A#/G
Twenty five cents each'd get us a bag of chips
(Link #3)
We'd be glad to get that even we if we had to split
G minorGm
We'd do backward flips, looking back at it
FF DmDm
I think that would fit with the definition of not having shit
G minorGm A#/G
Couple that with the fact my mother was batshit
A#/G
Pop was a sack of shit, yeah, he died, but I gave half a shit
G minorGm FF
Yeah, which brings me back to the real dad that I zero had
G minorGm
Since a year-old, forty-seven year-old scab
Dm/A G minorGm
Just to hear them words, ear piercing
Dm/A G minorGm
Like my earlobe stabbed with a needle for an earring
DmDm
Should I feel upset? You were dead to me 'fore you died
G minorGm
Me? Tear no shed
G minorGm
Should I have made a mural at your funeral?
G minorGm
Had your coffin draped with a hero's flag?
Where the fuck you were at
DmDm G minorGm
When De'Angelo done hurt me real bad at the Rio Grande?
G minorGm
Never met your grandkids, fucking coward
DmDm
Only gut you had was from your stomach fat
DmDm
I couldn't see your ass gonna Heaven
C minorCm
So I'm asking for a pass to go to Hell
C minorCm
So I can whip your fucking ass
C minorCm
I hate that I'll never get to say "I hate you" to your face
C minorCm
No coming back from where I'm going
C minorCm
Sky is dark, my soul is black, hand on the shovel
AsusAsus
Dig with the blade up, and then I step on the metal
N.C.
Vendetta to settle, tell the Devil
Chorus:
G minorGm
I'm leaving Heaven
DmDm
I'm leaving Heaven

Angels won't find me
