D                      A
Now I've seen places and faces
       Bm
and things you ain't never thought about thinking
       F#m                           G
if you ain't peek then you must be drinking and smokin'
 D                                   G

and Tamika around the corner just took her first hit off the pipe

the other homie shot the other homie and ran off with his money
       G                                         A
and when the other homies heard about it they thought that it was funny
D
  but who's the dummy
  A
Cuz, now you done lost the hustler
    Bm                            F#m
a down-ass brother can never by replaced by a buster

    D
I know I can't trust ya
     G                                     A
coz my crew is rollin' Hummers and your crew is rollin' dustas
D                                        A
 and just because of that you act like you don't like the brother no more
Bm                        F#m
  I guess that's just the way it goes
     G
I ain't tryina preach

so you don't get caught sittin' when they come and do all the gettin'
 G                                D

        G                                       A
someone's gotta run a little faster cuz we gotta later start
D                                A
I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender
     Bm                                F#m
and if everybody's a sinner then everybody could ba a winner
  G                         D
no matter you rag collar deep down we all brothers
  G                                 A
and regardless of the times somebody up there still love us

I'm a scuffle and struggle till I'm breathless and weak
    Bm                                  F#m
I just strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak
 G                          D
always keep reaching sure to grab on to something
   G                                   A

You need to loosen up
           A
and live a little
          Bm
and if you got kids let them know how you feelin'
 F#m

G

D
you busy tryina stack
G                                   A
and keep up with the Jones's taking advantage of your own
       D                                           A
the realest homies that you've been knowing for the longest
     Bm                                     F#m
but some ain't missing a good thing until it's gone
               G                                              D
could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us
                 G
we prefer to keep our eyes shut to whats right when
                A
theres something of all that we desire
D                            A
so hold your head up high if your poor and righteous

I know time seems right
        F#m
and the problems seem endless
       G                              D
but at times of despair we gotta pull ourselves together
                G                                    A
and if you feel you're out the game then you need to get back in it
    D
coz nothing worse than a quitter
    A                      Bm                  F#m
you gotta face responsibility one day, my brother
              G                           D
so gather up your pitty and turn it to ambition
                          G                   A
and put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side



Chorus:

D         A           Bm      F#m
I'll see you when you get there
            G        D

   G                      D
the wide and crooked, or the straight and narrow
