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