Capo 3
[Interlude]
GI need love
GYou need love
GGive me love
G (or C)And I'll give you my love
G C Em C x2
[Verse]
GThey say thirty is the new twenty
CAnd twenty is the new thirty shit I guess, makes sense
Emcause fifteen year olds seem twenty
CAnd twenty five year olds seem ten
GI used to drink away my paycheck
CCelebrate the mistakes I hadn't made yet
EmOur generation isn't the best on safe sex
CWe forget the latex, becoming Planned Parenthood patients
GSynthetic heroin is the new basshead
CSo much to escape, fuck a straight edge
EmWalk around looking through a fake lens
CApps this good, whose got time to make friends?
GI wish I didn't care
CAcynical hispters with long hair. Cocaine
Emproblems, like my music
CIt's not my issue, I can't solve it, yeah
[Hook]
G CSay my flight has finally landed down and the
Em Cground has stopped moving all around
G CEyes open, awake for the very first
Em Ctime We both forfeit this game of crime
[Verse]
GThey say it's so refreshing to hear somebody on records
CNo guns, no drugs, no sex, just truth
EmThe guns that's America, the drugs are what they gave to us
CAnd sex sells itself, don't judge her 'til it's you
GAh, I'm not more or less cautious
CThe rappers rappin' 'bout them strippers up on the pole, copping
EmThese interviews are obnoxious
CSaying that it's poetry is so well spoken, stop it
G I grew up during Reaganomics
CWhen Ice T was out there on his killing cops shit
EmOr Rodney King was getting beat on and they let off every single officer
CAnd Los Angeles went and lost it
GNow every month there is a new Rodney on Youtube
CIt's just something our generation is used to
EmAnd neighbourhoods where you never see a news crew
CUnless they're gentrifying, white people don't even cruise through
GAnd my subconcious telling me stop it
CThis is an issue that you shouldn't get involved in
EmDon't even tweet, R.I.P Trayvon Martin
CDon't wanna be that white dude, million man marchin'
GFighting for our freedom that my people stole
CDon't wanna make all my white fans uncomfortable
EmBut you don't even have a fuckin' song for radio
CWhy you out here talkin race, tryin' to save the fuckin' globe
GDon't get involved with the causes in mind
CWhite privilege, white guilt, at the same damn time
EmSo we just party like it's nineteen ninty nine
CCelebrate the ignorance while these kids keep dying
[Hook]
G CMy flight has finally landed down and the
Em Cground has stopped moving all around
G CEyes open, awake for the very first
Em Ctime We both forfeit this game of crime
G C Em C
