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