Bm
Em
Feel the flames
G#m

For my loved ones to
excel in this game
Bm

Bm
Then let it burn
Let it burn
Em
Verse 2
Bm
As I lay me down to sleep
B
I pray to the Lord that my
Em
soul he keeps
Nobody weeps when a G dies
But like Maya Angelou still we rise
Mama tried to keep me home
at night
But despite her attempts
B
I hung with the macks and the pimps
Sidin' with the Rip's
Em
Not 'cause I like blue if you like red
I did it 'cause I never did like you
And it said the good die young
B
I don't recognize myself what
Em
have I be come?
Can you tell me why am
I headed for a dead end?
Why I got another dead friend?
Why they surround me-
dead men?
B
Everywhere I look right and left
Flip another page in the
Bm
book of life and death
Em
It's comin'- I feel it
breathin' down my back
It got me runnin' Grim
G
Reap ain't cuttin' no slack
Em
What can I do where can I go
B
Lord forgive me for all I did
Em
'cause I didn't know
And when my heart beats
it's last tick
Somebody sat these three
words in my casket:
B
Lord have mercy
Bm
[chorus] Lord forgive
Verse 3
Em
B
me for all the wrong that I did
Em
All of the pain that I inflicted
as a kid
On Judgement Day consider
this before you curse me
I was only a child so Lord have mercy
B
Forgive me for all the wrong that I've done
Bm
All of the pain I inflicted when I was young
Em
On Judgement Day consider
this before you curse me
G
Em
I was only a child so Lord have mercy
Verse 4
Em
Should I die before I wake
B
Em
Don't shed a tear Mama 'cause
I finally escaped
No more drama no more blood
sweat and tears
No more pressure from my peers
and no more fears
I rest in peace- how long will it last
Bm
B
Fore I have to an swer
for what I did in the past
Bm
Illin' - willin' and dealin'
Em
cops always after me
I call it survival and you call it misanthropy
But let the record reflect
B
circumstances were suspect
Em
But you couldn't care less- mann
While I struggle to survive
You turned your eyes- plugged your up ears
B
Ignored my cries
Em
Now Ms. America sayin' we scarin' her
B
But she can give me Liberty
Bm
or Death- I'm darin' her
Em
Either one'll set me free-
that's all I want to be
But that ain't what y'all want to see
You'd rather see me killin'
up my own in the ghetto
B
Or sellin' blow to anybody Black,
Em
Brown, or Yellow
But forget that- I'm tryin'
to get my head right
Even if it mean I gotta get dead tonight
Lord have mercy forgive me
Verse 5
[chorus]
Em
B
Em
Forgive
B
Bm
me for the
Em
Bm
blood that his body bled
B
Em
And all the tears that his Mommy shed
Book says 'Thou Shalt Not Kill'
B
But I done seen more blood spilled
Em
Than the vets on Hamburger
Hill- it's real
Post War Syndrome-
B
went to see my homie
But his Mama told
me that the homie been gone
Bm
Em
Everytime I turn around it be another
body on the ground
With fresh gunshot wounds but he
didn't hear a sound
When he came out the room
B
Em
Nobody told him he would be dead so soon
But the gauge went boom Ms. America,
I know you got a cure for AIDS
B
But we need a cure for
Em
Raid who on a rampage
B
Em
Can you feel it- the tensions
B
in the air thick
Hate got me so high
Bm
I'm gettin' airsick
B
Em
Got my people broke lookin
for a buck to borrow
Doin it one day at a time fuck your sorrow
Fuck tomorrow I want revenge
B
I got a Beretta named Vendetta
Em
Time to answer for your sin- man
When you meet your creator-
tell him I apologize
B
Em
But I gotta ride Lord have
mercy forgive me...
Bm
B
[chorus]
