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