Bridge/Rap:
FF       E minorEm
I was way too far out in the world
             Dm7Dm7
But I still put on for my city

I was handing out too much milk money

Too much kitten and ass and titties
FF             E minorEm
 I lost my voice like a pastor

Faster than a Harlem shimmy
Dm7Dm7
  But I guess that's what you get

For trying to make heartbreak pretty
FF         E minorEm
They say life's a bitch (Life's a bitch) and then you die
Dm7Dm7
  So please, if you're penning my eulogy, just say I tried
FF          E minorEm
 And that's word to Phineas, Jess' and Si'
Dm7Dm7
  And if I don't wake up in Heaven
               FF        E minorEm
Then it was one hell of a ride (Hell of a ride)
Dm7Dm7
  If I don't wake up in Heaven
                FF E minorEm
Then it was one hell of a ride
         Dm7Dm7
A augmentedA hell of a ride

Outro/Rap:
FF               E minorEm
Momma said money can't buy me happiness
       Dm7Dm7
So I copped a G5G5

Tried to fly myself up next to it
         FF
I fucked up some commas
        E minorEm
Just to dot-dot-dot

Where's the rest of it?
        Dm7Dm7
This what clean look like

When clean took life and made a mess of it
            FF
Had to realize I'm just blessed to it
     E minorEm
You can't take it all with you
             Dm7Dm7
But you can remember the best of it

I pray for peace within myself
       FF
And no more regrets with it
       E minorEm
'Cause when I looked at my soul in the Mississippi
   Dm7Dm7
It reflected it

And if you know me, you're right next to it
N.C.
I'm everything you thought I was
N.C.
I'm everything I thought I was
N.C.
It was everything I thought it was
N.C.
It was everything I thought it was
