Long as you're famous

Don't you want money and the cars
Em                        Dm7
They said expensive liquor and cigars, they said

I mean, what's better than having everything that you dreamed of?

Long as they need you, you don't need love

Just be great

Put on for your city, for your state

And whatever you do

Just make us proud
                                                  Dm7
Ain't gonna be no cryin' from the clouds

Just be great

Who cares if there's too much on your plate
                                                             F
Don't make no mistakes and hide your pain
          Em
No rain
                                               Dm7
Whatever you do, just make us proud
                                                   F       Em Dm7

You gon', you gonna be a star, they said

They said
Dm7
Don't waste your tomorrow, they said

They said
F                                   Em
You're the one that's chosen to make it out
Dm7
Gotta seize the moment

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
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
