Verse 1: Jussie Smollett:
E                                   C#m
Open your eyes to what you love to hate
                                       A
You're up in the sky but you ain't flying straight
                               E
Where do I go when I can't go home?

Cause you sold it, and you lost yourself in you are just no more
E                                C#m
Take every piece, every piece of me
                                     A
Whatever you need, my mind is changing
                                         E
And I can't hide no, but you know where I'll be

Mother


Hook: Jussie Smollett:
E
I know
                                                 C#m
I said I didn't need it, I said I wasn't built for it
                                                       A
But now that I can see it, damn right I really made it for this
             B              E
Chasing the sky, trying to fly

And now I see
                                 C#m
Just why you had to be so hard for me
                                    A
You'll hear my roar then fill your legacy
            B                      E
Here to the sky, no choice but to fly, so high, so high, so high


Verse 2: Yazz:
E
Blood is supposed to be thicker than water is
E
Nowadays we can't even stomach the thought of it
C#m
It's like we can't even get along, who right and who in the wrong?
C#m
Too busy pointing fingers like it's politics
A
I tell you shut up, you tell me be quiet, too much dysfunction
A
Cut up like we at a riot, kicking and punching
E
Ain't nobody here to mediate it
E
And you would think that we wasn't even related
E
Why are we even throwing blows in the first place?
E
We fight at cook outs, picnics and birthdays
C#m
I tried to give the benefit but in the worst case
C#m
You keep on talking smack, you end up with a hurt face
A
And we tried everything, it's time for plan B
A
If Bloods and Crips can reconcile, why can't we?
E
I guess I'm ratchet like my mama and my poppa
E
I'm chasing the sky and I ain't talking 'bout the vodka, let's fly


Verse 3: Terrence Howard:
E
Far from a perfect man
                                             C#m
The fights and the lies , I guess you never understand
                                        A
A mother and father who wanted for you much more than

Life is a slight of hand, if you hate it today
                E
And my love for you is the one thing thatâ??s true


Verse 4: Jussie Smollett:
E                                                         C#m
Going all alone, I can't even trust all the people here inside my home
                                                A
And if you were my brother, then never let it get so wrong

That you turn your back on what we were
                E
Turn your back on me, on your family, no
