Intro
C#m A
Ashes blowin' in the air
E B
Our world's on fire but we don't care, ye-a-a-eah
C#m
Wasted youth, always on the road
A
Never lookin' back and we're never gettin' old
E
'Cause the skies are black but our hearts made of gold
B
Fuck doin' what you're told, we're goin' nowhere fast
[Verse 1]
C#m
I feel sorry for this beat, sympathy pains for this track
A
This road is takin' me back, down memory lane with this rap
E
I can still look out in this crowd, be wowed and be taken aback
B
I'm simply stating a fact, I had Wembley Stadium packed
C#m
But now we're on a path, headed to nowhere and fast
A
Another terrorist attacks, like a tariff blows
E
Half of Madison Square up, alas, we perish in the blast
B
But that isn't scarin' us, we pass, nowhere we're fearless
'Cause we're just
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C#m A
Ashes blowing in the air
E B
Our world's on fire but we don't care, ye-a-a-eah
C#m
Wasted youth, always on the road
A
Never lookin' back and we’re never gettin' old
E
'Cause the skies are black but our hearts made of gold
B
Fuck doin' what you're told, we’re goin' nowhere fast
[Chorus 1]
C#m
'Cause we're goin' no, goin' no, goin' no

[Verse 2]
C#m
Fuck doin' what you're told, act like a two-year old
A
Shit is soon to go kaboom and blow anyways, for MC’s it's a funeral
E
When I'm devisin' this rhyme, 'cause I'm awake and you're mourning
B
That's why I rise and I shine, like a new day has dawned on me
C#m
Gusto, guts, bravado, nuts and plus I kick up dust
A
And cuss a lot, I musta got you in somewhat of a debacle
E
'Cause some stuff, that's awful, really don't mean nothin' although
B
There's a lot of shit I said in jest that's tough to swallow
C#m
But if at times my heart it seems
A
Like it's in the wrong place, it's probably 'cause it's on my sleeve
E
Keanu Reeves speed of life, avoid or veer or
B
Just steer toward it, we're only lookin' forward but where we're going
C#m
We have no idea, nowhere to go but hysterical
A
It's gettin' warm in here, I set the world on fire
E
Was born to be an arsonist, just one spark and it's lit
But I'ma still get dark on this shit
B
Told you I'd leave my mark on this bitch
C#m
War machine but you've forced me in a corner
I'm sure to have somethin' for your ear
A
And in the course of the assault is torture, gets more severe
E
Go to war with me, you'll end up blew to Timbuktu
B
I send at you a ten-ton nuke like Kim Jong-Un
And end up ruinin' your career (North Korea)
C#m
But when all is said and done
A
And at the end of my run, I just rewind clocks, forever young
E
Make time stop, will I ever fall off, that day'll never come
B
'Til the pine box, bitch, fuck you, I'm better than I ever was
C#m
'Til the bomb drops, hope it never does but I'm not gonna sweat it 'cause this
A
World's screwed, it's already fucked and I'm on top so everyone's just
[Pre-Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
A C#m B
You can't tell us nothing, hard-headed and we're stubborn so
A C#m B
One ear and out the other when we're young
A C#m B
Who knows what the future for us could hold, another shooter
