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