BB E MajorE
Ay, we just supported Nas
Whose world is this? Bruv, of course it's ours
BB E MajorE
Saying I ain't been the same since I caught the scars
C majorC
They don't fade, I ain't ashamed, watch us fall from Mars
G# minorG#m E MajorE
'Cause it's the fallen parts and all the dust settles
And we all call on ours fast as we pluck petals
G# minorG#m BB
Uh, we let the love pour into our brain
E MajorE
Another day doing more to maintain
BB
Saying finally those tears in my mother's eyes
Tears from the other side
E MajorE F#F#
Tears of joy, her little boy's got his mother's pride

You don't know nothing 'bout the rain 'til you come inside

And watch it trickle past the pane as the summer rise
G# minorG#m E MajorE
'Cause ain't no love inside my heart
C majorC
Uh, except for my mother and my diehards

I stay firm, little brother keeps my mind sharp
E MajorE BB
If I lost yours, come and find ours

And from the second he could see that I've been lying

He would think I wasn't trying
Telling him, look, honestly, I'm dying

To be the bigger man, the one that you're relying

Upside down while kicking a ball
His eyes shone with wonder

He was and is a complete joy
E MajorE G# minorG#m BB G# minorG#m BB E MajorE
