Now you’re [Dm]thinking about it, [Gm]girl you’re thinking about it
[Am]What we got here, [Am]how we fucking got here, they [Dm]recognize
They just [Gm]recognize, I’m in a [Am]life without a home
So this recognition is [Dm]not enough, [Gm]I don’t care about [Am]nobody else
Cause [Am]I’ve been on these streets way [Dm]too long, too long, too [Gm]long
Baby I’ve been on this [Am]too long


‘Cause getting [Dm]faded too long, got me [Gm]on this rolling stone, so I [Am]take another hit
Kill [Am]another serotonin, with a [Dm]hand full of beans, and a [Gm]chest full of weed
Got me [Am]singing bout a bitch, while I’m [Am]blowing out my steam, yeah I [Dm]know I got my issues
Why you [Gm]think I fucking flow? And [Am]I’mma keep on smoking ’til I can’t hit another note


[Dm] [Gm]Oh but until [Am]then, I [Dm]got [Gm]you [Am]baby I [Dm]got you [Gm] [Am]
Until [Dm]you’re used to my [Gm]face, and my [Am]mystery fades, I [Dm]got [Gm]you [Am]


So baby [Dm]love me [Gm] [Am]before they [Dm]all love me [Gm] [Am]
Until you won’t [Dm]love me [Gm] [Am]because they’ll [Dm]all love [Gm]me [Am]
I’ll be [Dm] [Gm]different [Am]I think I’ll [Dm]be different [Gm] [Am]
I hope I’m [Dm]not different [Gm] [Am]and I hope you’ll [Dm]still [Gm]listen


But [Am]until then, baby [Dm]I got [Gm]you [Am]I [Dm]got you [Gm] [Am]
Girl I [Dm]still got [Gm]you [Am] [Dm]I got [Gm]you [Am]


[Dm] [Gm] [Am] [Am] [Dm] [Gm] [Am] [Am] [Dm] [Gm] [Am] [Am] [Dm] [Gm] [Am] [Am]
