Yeah, this just my life
E
Front to back, top to bottom

[Bridge]
C#m                      A
Everything's changing around me
E
These days don't feel the same
C#m                      A
We all lost faith and lost family
E
Why must we play this game?
C#m             E
Lord have mercy on me
I've been a sinning man
C3m                  A
Pull out my wings, jump off the bridge
E
And crash in a plane, if I never land

[Hook]
C#m     A    E
Know I never die
          C#m   A      E
We live forever in my mind

And I sanctify
           C#m     A    E
We live forever, still alive

[Verse]
C#m
There's a lot going on but I stick to the ones I love
B
I never claimed to be a perfect man but name a great man who was
C#m                                 A
Consequences of my actions in the past years had me stressing out
E
It was like, May, I just moved to L.A., I was tryna figure it out
C#m                                     A
Medication for depression that I cut cold turkey, had the kid manic
E
In an episode out in Hollywood, wilding out like Nick Cannon
C#m                                     B
Railing Adderall pills out a dollar bill, on the bathroom floor
E
Clean the whole mess up with my nose, what the fuck I need a vacuum for?
C#m                                   A
New York City on my birthday, June 6th, 2014
E
I had that first meeting with Hov, plus I brought out the whole team
C#m                                       A
I drank that whole bottle of D'usse Ty Ty gave me that night
E
When we left the club, at the Rap Genius house me and shorty got into a fight
C#m                       A
She came out the room swingin', hit me in the jaw
I was really tryna fend her off
But I ended up in the closet with my hands around her neck
I was tripping, dawg
C#m
Too proud to apologize or empathize, I blamed it all on her
E                                B
Saying that she hit me first, even though she was the one hurt
C#m                 A
I was really just reflecting all the hurt that I was feeling from the band's rejection
E
When Kids These Days split, that shit felt like a c-section
C#m                                  A
And my infidelity and jealousy with Natalie on top of the amphetamines
E
And the ecstasy had me tryna drown face down in the Chesapeake
C#m                                    A
The next month I dropped "Down on My Luck" and had Europe going nuts
E
But I couldn't even appreciate it at the time, I was going through too much
A
Now I had to leverage million dollar label deals on the table for my records
E                               B
In Ibiza eating paella on the roof, tryna choose over breakfast
C#m
Hov wasn't with the bidding war, but I knew the Roc just felt right
C#m
When I saw Kanye at Wireless, without T-Pain, still a good life
C#m                            A
Felt so close when Mr. Hudson introduced me to him backstage
E
He prolly don't even remember that shit... like a bitch off Backpage
C#m                                  B
But at that stage, I was ready to swing for the fence like a batting cage
C#m                                    A
At the same time, I was winding down a low point in my addict phase
C#m
The Adderall started wearing off and I went into a deep writer's block
C#m                                                A
All over a song that I couldn't finish that I wrote about signin' to the Roc
C#m                       A              E
Isn't that ironic? I was feeling so psychotic
C#m
With the whole world excited for me and my idol saying I got it
C#m                                   A
Shit got bad out in L.A., so I moved back home to my mom's basement
E
Linked up with Smoko and Papi Beatz and took it back to basics
C#m            A
Then I wrote "Rage," that was me screaming out through the pain
E
And "U Mad," addressing my relationship with Natalie, it was too bad
C#m                                  A
The violence and the lies slipped suicide into my mental health
E
I did acid in the studio one day and almost killed myself
C#m                          A
As I started to fall apart, certain stars started to align
E
Om'Mas came to Chicago in January at the perfect time
C#m                                         A
He said Kanye was working on an album, and Uzi played him one of our songs
E
He was tryna fly me out, nigga, it was goin' down like the Dow Jones
C#m                           A
Pulled up to Westlake, first day I was there, I recorded "Wolves"
E
I knew I was the one, like Neo meeting with the Oracle
F#m
But I had to get a handle 'fore the door was pulled
A
Crawled out on SNL
E
All the niggas hating on me back home lookin' at me like, "FML"
C#m                                           A
A lot of people coming out the wood like, "Let's work," tryna network
E
All the pressure making my head hurt, the molly wouldn't let the meds work
C#m                                       A
At this time it's like Feb. 1st to the 15th, and I'm still addicted
E
Frustrated, writing shit for Ye, tryna visualize someone else's vision
C#m                           A
Then he laid that verse on "U Mad" and we made the shit the single
B
Ye and Hov getting into it over me, tryna do a joint venture
C#m                                         B
And G.O.O.D. Music still fam, but it's that Roc boy SAVEMONEY life
E                                        B
Took the bus out on the road for the Traffic tour, did a hundred nights
C#m
Cleaned out my closet, I got rid of all of my demons
E
If you learn one thing from my journey, nigga it's don't stop believing
C#m                                            A
When this shit got so suffocating I could barely even keep breathing
E
Wrote my wrongs all in this song now I'd like to welcome y'all to my season
          C#m    A E B C#m
Nigga I'm gone

[Hook]
C#m     A    E
Know I never die
          C#m   A      E
We live forever in my mind
    C#m  A   E
And I sanctify
           C#m     A    E
We live forever, still alive
