Verse
Am G
I don't think she understands the sacrifices that I've made
F Am
Maybe if this bitch had acted right I woulda stayed
C G
But I've already wasted over half my life, I woulda laid
F Am
Down and died for you, I no longer cry for you, no more pain
Am G
Bitch, you took me for granted, took my heart
F Am
and ran it straight into the planet, into the dirt
I can no longer stand it
C G
Now my respect, I demand it, I'ma take control of this relationship
F Am
command it and I'ma be the boss of you now, goddamn it
Am G
And what I mean is that I will no longer let you control me
F Am
So you better hear me out, this much you owe me
C G
I gave up my life for you, totally devoted to you I have stayed
F Am
Faithful all the way, this is how I fuckin' get repaid?
Am G
Look at how I dress, fuckin' baggy sweats, go to work a mess
F Am
Always in a rush to get back to you, I ain't heard you yet
C G
Not even once say you appreciate me, I deserve respect
F Am
I've done my best to give you nothin' less than perfectness
Am G
And I know that if I end this I'll no longer have nothin' left
F Am
But you keep treatin' me like a staircase: it's time to fuckin' step
C G
And I won't be comin' back, so don't hold your fuckin' breath
F Am
You know what you've done, no need to go in-depth
Am G
I told you you'd be sorry if I fuckin' left, I laughed while you wept
F Am
How's it feel now? Yeah, funny, ain't it? You neglected me
C G
Did me a favor, though, my spirit free you've set
F Am
But a special place for you in my heart I have kept
Am
It's unfortunate, but it's…
[Chorus]
G F Am
Too late for the other side
C G F Am
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
(Yeah, can't take no more)
Am G F Am
Too late for the other side
C G F Am
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
[Verse 2]
Am G
I feel like when I bend over backwards for you, all you do is laugh
F Am C
‘Cause that ain't good enough, you expect me to fold myself in half 'til I snap
G
Don't think I'm loyal, all I do is rap
F Am
How can I moonlight on the side? I have no life outside of that
Am G
Don't I give you enough of my time? You don't think so, do you?
F Am
Jealous when I spend time with the girls, why I'm married to you still?
C G
Man, I don't know, but tonight I'm serving you with papers
F Am
I'm divorcing you – go marry someone else and make 'em famous!
Am G
And take away their freedom like you did to me
F Am
Treat 'em like you don't need 'em and they ain't worthy of you
C G
Feed 'em the same shit that you made me eat, I'm moving on, forget you
F Am
Oh, now I'm special? I ain't feel special when I was with you
Am G
All I ever felt was this helplessness,
F Am
imprisoned by a selfish bitch, chew me up and spit me out, I fell for this
C G
So many times it's ridiculous, and still I stick with this, I'm sick of this
F Am Am
But in my sickness and addiction, you're addictive as they get
G
Evil as they come, vindictive as they make 'em
F Am
My friends keep askin' me why I can't just walk away from
C G
I'm addicted to the pain, the stress, the drama, I'm drawn to
F Am
Shit, I guess I'm a mess, cursed and blessed, but this time I
Am G
Ain't changin' my mind, I'm climbin' out this abyss
F Am
You're screamin' as I walk out that I'll be missed
C G
But when you spoke of people who meant the most to you, you left me off your list
F Am
Fuck you, hip hop! I'm leavin' you, my life sentence is served, bitch
Am
And it's just...
[Chorus]
G F Am
Too late for the other side
C G F Am
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
(I'm gone, man)
Am G F Am
Too late for the other side
C G F Am
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
Am G F Am
Too late
C G F Am
Caught in a chase, 25 to life
