[Intro]
Gm
Yeah, sometimes
    Dm
You gotta come back down
Dm
Stoop to someone's level (Yeah)


[Verse]
Gm                      
Five dozen, flies buzzin' over your head
                                  Dm
Call me the Grim Reaper, sleep is my cousin
                       Dm
You dead to me now and I'ma be the last face you see
          Gm
'Fore you die cussin'
                     Gm                            Dm
My eye a tiger's and I'm a survivor so I will rise up and
                          Dm                      Dsus4
Be triumphant 'cause when I'm looking at my legacy
Gm
Bunch of dogs tryna dry hump it
     Gm
Like Triumph The Puppet, so I'm like, "Fuck it"
                 Dm                                        Dm
Pile the carnage up 'til its so high, it's touching the sky
                              Gm
Let 'em all line up and attack
                             Gm
Single filing up in the stack
                       Dm
Call 'em toy soldiers (Yeah)
                                       Dm
'Cause they just wind up on their backs
                            Dsus4
Now the sky's nothing but black
Cm
But I am not coming back, I done told ya
Gm
I told the woke me to go to sleep
                     Cm
But still, they keep on provoking me
                             Cm
They're hoping to see me completely broken emotionally
               Dm
But how in the fuck am I not supposed to be woke
                   N.C.
When these fuckers just keep poking me? Now


[Chorus]
            Gm
I'm leaving Heaven
            Dm
I'm leaving Heaven
             Gm
Angels won't find me
              Dm Dsus4
Where are you going?


[Verse 2]
Gm
I've been down, kicked
                Gm
Like around six thousand times since I was a kid
Dm
As a child, picked on, clowned
Dm
Countless times I've been outed
        Gm
Gotta remind myself of it every now and then
Gm
So the route I went's self-empowerment
Dm                                  Dm
In a hole, taught myself how to get out of it
                                Dsus4
And balance it with talents, wit
       Gm
'Cause life is like a penny
Gm
'Cause it's only one percent
    Dm
Who overcome this shit, they found the wimp(?)
       Dm
I went AWOL like what my back was up against
           Gm
Don't tell me 'bout struggle, bitch, I lived it
      Gm                                  Dm
I was five or six the first time I got my hind end kicked
                    Dm                                   Dsus4
Malcolm, Isaac, and Boogie jumped me and took my tricycle
      Gm                                             Gm
And I don't know if I would call that white privilege, yeah
              Dm
But I get it, how it feels to be judged by pigment
  Dm                                            Dsus4
Besides getting it from both sides of the tracks
      Cm
But I swore I'd get them back
                                 Gm
Even if it meant selling my soul to get revenge and (What?)
                           Cm
Thought of a scheme and it got me to thinking
                                           Gm
If I can believe in myself, I could prolly achieve it

That’s part of the reason I do all my talking when he can
       Cm
And as long as I'm breathing I vow to smother and beat them
      Cm
Got a heart of a demon, go at 'em and I'ma get even
                Dm
Like I'm in the Garden of Eden, I'm 'bout to go off of the deep end
             N.C.
This evil is calling, I'm already seething and


[Chorus]
            Gm
I'm leaving Heaven
            Dm
I'm leaving Heaven
             Gm
Angels won't find me
              Dm Dsus4
Where are you going?


[Verse]
                     Gm                        F
Okay, so while Macklemore was keeping his room nice and neat
Dm
I was getting my ass beat twice a week
            Gm                    A#/G
Looking for a place for the night where I could sleep
                                 (Link #1)
Flippin' sofa cushions over just tryin' to see
                Gm                        A#/G
If I could find some change and scrape up for a bite to eat
   Dm                                       (Link #2)
If tonight you and me find a couple dimes a piece
                                         A#/G
Twenty five cents each'd get us a bag of chips
                                                 (Link #3)
We'd be glad to get that even we if we had to split
            Gm
We'd do backward flips, looking back at it
F                          Dm
I think that would fit with the definition of not having shit
            Gm                          A#/G
Couple that with the fact my mother was batshit
                                           A#/G
Pop was a sack of shit, yeah, he died, but I gave half a shit
            Gm                                    F
Yeah, which brings me back to the real dad that I zero had
                              Gm
Since a year-old, forty-seven year-old scab
        Dm/A                 Gm
Just to hear them words, ear piercing
        Dm/A                   Gm
Like my earlobe stabbed with a needle for an earring
                     Dm
Should I feel upset? You were dead to me 'fore you died
    Gm
Me? Tear no shed
                           Gm
Should I have made a mural at your funeral?
                              Gm
Had your coffin draped with a hero's flag?

Where the fuck you were at
        Dm                                  Gm
When De'Angelo done hurt me real bad at the Rio Grande?
                          Gm
Never met your grandkids, fucking coward
                               Dm
Only gut you had was from your stomach fat
                              Dm
I couldn't see your ass gonna Heaven
                                  Cm
So I'm asking for a pass to go to Hell
                   Cm
So I can whip your fucking ass
                                     Cm
I hate that I'll never get to say "I hate you" to your face
                              Cm
No coming back from where I'm going
                                           Cm
Sky is dark, my soul is black, hand on the shovel
                   Asus
Dig with the blade up, and then I step on the metal
            N.C.
Vendetta to settle, tell the Devil


[Chorus]
            Gm
I'm leaving Heaven
            Dm
I'm leaving Heaven
             Gm
Angels won't find me
              Dm Dsus4
Where are you going?
            Gm
I'm leaving heaven
            Dm
I'm leaving heaven
             Gm
Angels won't find me
              Dm Dsus4
Where are you going?


[Outro]
Gm                           Dm
So you better, you better run
                          Gm
You better, you better run
                          Dm/A
You better, you better run
                                           Gm
You better, you better run (See you in Hell)
