[Intro]
Fm
Yeah, sometimes
Cm
You gotta come back down
Cm
Stoop to someone's level (Yeah)
[Verse]
Fm
Five dozen, flies buzzin' over your head
Cm
Call me the Grim Reaper, sleep is my cousin
Cm
You dead to me now and I'ma be the last face you see
Fm
'Fore you die cussin'
Fm Cm
My eye a tiger's and I'm a survivor so I will rise up and
Cm Csus4
Be triumphant 'cause when I'm looking at my legacy
Fm
Bunch of dogs tryna dry hump it
Fm
Like Triumph The Puppet, so I'm like, "Fuck it"
Cm Cm
Pile the carnage up 'til its so high, it's touching the sky
Fm
Let 'em all line up and attack
Fm
Single filing up in the stack
Cm
Call 'em toy soldiers (Yeah)
Cm
'Cause they just wind up on their backs
Csus4
Now the sky's nothing but black
A#m
But I am not coming back, I done told ya
Fm
I told the woke me to go to sleep
A#m
But still, they keep on provoking me
A#m
They're hoping to see me completely broken emotionally

But how in the fuck am I not supposed to be woke

When these fuckers just keep poking me? Now
[Chorus]
Fm
I'm leaving Heaven
Cm
I'm leaving Heaven
Fm
Angels won't find me
Cm Csus4
Where are you going?
[Verse 2]
Fm
I've been down, kicked
Fm
Like around six thousand times since I was a kid
Cm
As a child, picked on, clowned
Cm
Countless times I've been outed
Fm
Gotta remind myself of it every now and then
Fm
So the route I went's self-empowerment
Cm Cm
In a hole, taught myself how to get out of it
Csus4
And balance it with talents, wit
Fm
'Cause life is like a penny
Fm
'Cause it's only one percent
Cm
Who overcome this shit, they found the wimp(?)
Cm
I went AWOL like what my back was up against
Fm
Don't tell me 'bout struggle, bitch, I lived it
Fm Cm
I was five or six the first time I got my hind end kicked
Cm Csus4
Malcolm, Isaac, and Boogie jumped me and took my tricycle
Fm Fm
And I don't know if I would call that white privilege, yeah
Cm
But I get it, how it feels to be judged by pigment
Cm Csus4
Besides getting it from both sides of the tracks
A#m
But I swore I'd get them back
Fm
Even if it meant selling my soul to get revenge and (What?)
A#m
Thought of a scheme and it got me to thinking
Fm
If I can believe in myself, I could prolly achieve it
That’s part of the reason I do all my talking when he can
A#m
And as long as I'm breathing I vow to smother and beat them
A#m
Got a heart of a demon, go at 'em and I'ma get even
Cm
Like I'm in the Garden of Eden, I'm 'bout to go off of the deep end
N.C.
This evil is calling, I'm already seething and
[Chorus]
Fm
I'm leaving Heaven
Cm
I'm leaving Heaven
Fm
Angels won't find me
Cm Csus4
Where are you going?
[Verse]
Fm D#
Okay, so while Macklemore was keeping his room nice and neat
Cm
I was getting my ass beat twice a week
Fm G#/F
Looking for a place for the night where I could sleep
(Link #1)
Flippin' sofa cushions over just tryin' to see
Fm G#/F
If I could find some change and scrape up for a bite to eat
Cm (Link #2)
If tonight you and me find a couple dimes a piece
G#/F
Twenty five cents each'd get us a bag of chips
(Link #3)
We'd be glad to get that even we if we had to split
Fm
We'd do backward flips, looking back at it
D# Cm
I think that would fit with the definition of not having shit
Fm G#/F
Couple that with the fact my mother was batshit
G#/F
Pop was a sack of shit, yeah, he died, but I gave half a shit
Fm D#
Yeah, which brings me back to the real dad that I zero had
Fm
Since a year-old, forty-seven year-old scab
Cm/G Fm
Just to hear them words, ear piercing
Cm/G Fm
Like my earlobe stabbed with a needle for an earring
Cm
Should I feel upset? You were dead to me 'fore you died
Fm
Me? Tear no shed
Fm
Should I have made a mural at your funeral?
Fm
Had your coffin draped with a hero's flag?
Where the fuck you were at
Cm Fm
When De'Angelo done hurt me real bad at the Rio Grande?
Fm
Never met your grandkids, fucking coward
Cm
Only gut you had was from your stomach fat
Cm
I couldn't see your ass gonna Heaven
A#m
So I'm asking for a pass to go to Hell
A#m
So I can whip your fucking ass
A#m
I hate that I'll never get to say "I hate you" to your face
A#m
No coming back from where I'm going
A#m
Sky is dark, my soul is black, hand on the shovel
Gsus
Dig with the blade up, and then I step on the metal
N.C.
Vendetta to settle, tell the Devil
[Chorus]
Fm
I'm leaving Heaven
Cm
I'm leaving Heaven
Fm
Angels won't find me
Cm Csus4
Where are you going?
Fm
I'm leaving heaven
Cm
I'm leaving heaven
Fm
Angels won't find me
Cm Csus4
Where are you going?
[Outro]
Fm Cm

Fm
You better, you better run
Cm/G
You better, you better run
Fm
You better, you better run (See you in Hell)
