[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)
