C#m Jets overseas for a far flight
C#m Young nigga on bullshit, and I ball on 'em, Bill Cartwright
C#m Knew I could shine through the darkness
C#m I guess I always been a star type
C#m That lion in me made my heart fight
C#m Could've been a victim of a opp pipe
C#m Took a million risks just to get to this
C#m 'Cause we ain't the ones that the cops likе
C#m Been so many times God tested mе
C#m They only see the answers I got right
C#m They commentin' all on the blogs

C#m It was hella times where I failed
C#m When I had to double back from them Ls

C#m I got back up, flipped it the bird
E 'Til I earned the attention I yearned
Not to mention, I learned
A How to turn resentment and hurt
B To an unquenchable thirst, in the simplest terms
C#m It's revenge of the nerd, in every sense of the word
A But all you see is the fame and the millions
B You don't see the strength, the resilience (Nah)
C#m E How I rack my brain but it feels as if I'm tryna explain it to children (Damn)
A B So a lot of this pain isn't healin', no escapin' it, this anger is spilling
C#m E Almost like recreatin' a feelin' of /11 when the second plane hit the building
A So let 'em paint you the villain
B Some of this just may be a symptom (Yeah)
C#m Of havin' way too much income (Mm)

C#m Just follow me, and I'll light the way
C#m Look to the hook if your sky look grey (Skylar Grey)
A B And rappers, how can we be on the same level now
C#m When I gotta look down and see these clowns that are on the ground?
E Bitch, I got the clouds beneath me
A B Ever since I put out the EP to the height of 2003 me
