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