[Intro]
D#m
Yeah, sometimes
A#m
You gotta come back down
A#m
Stoop to someone's level (Yeah)
[Verse]
D#m
Five dozen, flies buzzin' over your head
A#m
Call me the Grim Reaper, sleep is my cousin
A#m
You dead to me now and I'ma be the last face you see
D#m
'Fore you die cussin'
D#m A#m
My eye a tiger's and I'm a survivor so I will rise up and
A#m A#sus4
Be triumphant 'cause when I'm looking at my legacy
D#m
Bunch of dogs tryna dry hump it
D#m
Like Triumph The Puppet, so I'm like, "Fuck it"
A#m A#m
Pile the carnage up 'til its so high, it's touching the sky
D#m
Let 'em all line up and attack
D#m
Single filing up in the stack
A#m
Call 'em toy soldiers (Yeah)
A#m
'Cause they just wind up on their backs
A#sus4
Now the sky's nothing but black
G#m
But I am not coming back, I done told ya
D#m
I told the woke me to go to sleep
G#m
But still, they keep on provoking me
G#m
They're hoping to see me completely broken emotionally
A#m
But how in the fuck am I not supposed to be woke
N.C.
When these fuckers just keep poking me? Now
[Chorus]
D#m
I'm leaving Heaven
A#m
I'm leaving Heaven
D#m
Angels won't find me
A#m A#sus4
Where are you going?
[Verse 2]
D#m
I've been down, kicked
D#m
Like around six thousand times since I was a kid
A#m
As a child, picked on, clowned
A#m
Countless times I've been outed
D#m
Gotta remind myself of it every now and then
D#m
So the route I went's self-empowerment
A#m A#m
In a hole, taught myself how to get out of it
A#sus4
And balance it with talents, wit
D#m
'Cause life is like a penny
D#m
'Cause it's only one percent
A#m
Who overcome this shit, they found the wimp(?)
A#m
I went AWOL like what my back was up against
D#m
Don't tell me 'bout struggle, bitch, I lived it
D#m A#m
I was five or six the first time I got my hind end kicked
A#m A#sus4
Malcolm, Isaac, and Boogie jumped me and took my tricycle
D#m D#m
And I don't know if I would call that white privilege, yeah
A#m
But I get it, how it feels to be judged by pigment
A#m A#sus4
Besides getting it from both sides of the tracks
G#m
But I swore I'd get them back
D#m
Even if it meant selling my soul to get revenge and (What?)
G#m
Thought of a scheme and it got me to thinking
D#m
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
G#m
And as long as I'm breathing I vow to smother and beat them
G#m
Got a heart of a demon, go at 'em and I'ma get even
A#m
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]
D#m
I'm leaving Heaven
A#m
I'm leaving Heaven
D#m
Angels won't find me
A#m A#sus4
Where are you going?
[Verse]
D#m C#
Okay, so while Macklemore was keeping his room nice and neat
A#m
I was getting my ass beat twice a week
D#m F#/D#
Looking for a place for the night where I could sleep
(Link #1)
Flippin' sofa cushions over just tryin' to see
D#m F#/D#
If I could find some change and scrape up for a bite to eat
A#m (Link #2)
If tonight you and me find a couple dimes a piece
F#/D#
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
D#m
We'd do backward flips, looking back at it
C# A#m
I think that would fit with the definition of not having shit
D#m F#/D#
Couple that with the fact my mother was batshit
F#/D#
Pop was a sack of shit, yeah, he died, but I gave half a shit
D#m C#
Yeah, which brings me back to the real dad that I zero had
D#m
Since a year-old, forty-seven year-old scab
A#m/F D#m
Just to hear them words, ear piercing
A#m/F D#m
Like my earlobe stabbed with a needle for an earring
A#m
Should I feel upset? You were dead to me 'fore you died
D#m
Me? Tear no shed
D#m
Should I have made a mural at your funeral?
D#m
Had your coffin draped with a hero's flag?
Where the fuck you were at
A#m D#m
When De'Angelo done hurt me real bad at the Rio Grande?
D#m
Never met your grandkids, fucking coward
A#m
Only gut you had was from your stomach fat
A#m
I couldn't see your ass gonna Heaven
G#m
So I'm asking for a pass to go to Hell
G#m
So I can whip your fucking ass
G#m
I hate that I'll never get to say "I hate you" to your face
G#m
No coming back from where I'm going
G#m
Sky is dark, my soul is black, hand on the shovel
Fsus
Dig with the blade up, and then I step on the metal
N.C.
Vendetta to settle, tell the Devil
[Chorus]
D#m
I'm leaving Heaven
A#m
I'm leaving Heaven
D#m
Angels won't find me
A#m A#sus4
Where are you going?
D#m
I'm leaving heaven
A#m
I'm leaving heaven
D#m
Angels won't find me
A#m A#sus4
Where are you going?
[Outro]
D#m A#m
So you better, you better run
D#m
You better, you better run
A#m/F
You better, you better run
D#m
You better, you better run (See you in Hell)
