Don't let us down
N.C. Em
Just gotta play your part, they said
Dm7
And history, you'll be a part of it
F Em
I mean, what's better than having everything that you dreamed of?
Dm7
Long as they need you, you don't need love
[Chorus]
[Bridge/Rap]
F Em
I was way too far out in the world
Dm7
But I still put on for my city
I was handing out too much milk money
Too much kitten and ass and titties
F Em
I lost my voice like a pastor
Faster than a Harlem shimmy
Dm7
But I guess that's what you get
For trying to make heartbreak pretty
F Em
They say life's a bitch (Life's a bitch) and then you die
Dm7
So please, if you're penning my eulogy, just say I tried
F Em
And that's word to Phineas, Jess' and Si'
Dm7
And if I don't wake up in Heaven
F Em
Then it was one hell of a ride (Hell of a ride)
Dm7
If I don't wake up in Heaven
F Em
Then it was one hell of a ride
Dm7
A hell of a ride
[Instrumental]
F Em Dm7

[Outro/Rap]
F Em
Momma said money can't buy me happiness
Dm7
So I copped a G5
Tried to fly myself up next to it
F
I fucked up some commas
Em
Just to dot-dot-dot
Where's the rest of it?
Dm7
This what clean look like
When clean took life and made a mess of it
F
Had to realize I'm just blessed to it
Em
You can't take it all with you
Dm7
But you can remember the best of it
I pray for peace within myself
F
And no more regrets with it
Em
'Cause when I looked at my soul in the Mississippi
Dm7
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
