whole song: G C C Gm
 
[Verse 1]
G CTell me, sir, what doing wrong?
C GmI followed all your rules, I went to school and still I couldn't get a job
G CSir, please return my calls
C GmThere's poison in the well you built and poison in the walls
G CSo, sir, I'm not tryna be a problem
C GmJust trying to understand, how can you profit off the treatment?
G CWhen the blood is on you, sir, can't wash it off your hands
C GmIt's underneath your fingernails, it's written in your plans
 
[Chorus]
G CYou promised fire but sold me smoke
C GmOh, I'm so tired of doing what I'm told
G CI can't afford to sell my soul
CGotta get rich fast or die young broke
G CAnd I won't die young broke
C GmWoah, woah, woah
G CI won't die young broke
C GmWoah, woah, oh
 
[Verse 2]
G C CSir, LA's burning, kids sleeping on the streets
GmDamn your thoughts and prayers, can't you give them some relief?
G C CAnd can't you see the hurting? And can't you see the pain?
CSir, every single person's got a face and got a name
They're not just dollar signs, not numbers on a page
 
[Chorus]
G CYou promised fire but sold me smoke
C GmOh, I'm so tired of doing what I'm told
G CI can't afford to sell my soul
CGotta get rich fast or die young broke
G CAnd I won't die young broke
C GmWoah, woah, woah
G CI won't die young broke
C GmWoah, woah, oh
 
[Outro]
G C C GmYou promised fire but sold me smoke
Oh, I'm so tired of doing what I'm told
