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