[Verse 1: Kanye West]

BSittin' by myself, I'm just thinkin'

D#m7About all I've been through, I wish

I was dreamin'

C#Man, it's hard to be an angel when

you surrounded by demons (Jesus)

A#mI watched so many people leave

(Lord)

I see 'em change by the season,

A#mthat's mama's sеasonin'

BGod got you, the devil's watchin',

he just peekin' in

D#m7I know I madе a promise that I'd

never let the reaper in (Jesus)

C#But lately, I've been losin' all my

deepest friends (Lord)

And lately, I've been swimmin' on

A#mthe deepest end

B It's just drugs, it ain't no hugs,

it ain't no love there

D#m7 You been down so much you don't

even know what's upstairs (Jesus)

C# Suicidal thoughts got you

wonderin' what's up there (Lord)

And while I introduce the party, you

A#m say it's up there

BToo many pills, so much potions, so

much pain, too many emotions

D#m7 And everything that you do good,

it just go unnoticed (Jesus)

C# Did He tell you that you good

and just stay focused? (Lord)

A#mMama, you was the life of the party

B I swear you brought life to the

party

D#m7 When you lost your life, it took

the life out the party (Jesus)

C# That woman rode with me like a

Harley (Lord)

Visions of my cousins in a cell

A#mreally scarred me

B Movin' to the hood was like

signin' up for the army

D#m7'Cause they been killin' **** since

**** was watchin' Barney (Jesus)

C#You want dreams to come true? But I

have nightmares (Lord)

'Cause if that come to life, then I

A#mmight not be right here

BBeen in the dark so long, don't know

if the light here

D#m7But I'm just reaching for the stars

like Buzz Lightyear (Jesus)

C#And now I'm lightyears ahead of

those nightmares (Lord)

I deaded those night terrors when

A#mthe night clears

BAnd if I talk to Christ, can I bring

my mother back to life?

D#m7And if I die tonight, will I see her

in the afterlife? (Jesus)

C#But back to reality, where

everything's a tragedy (Lord)

You better have a strategy or you

A#mcould be a statistic

BLittle boy dies, he's just one of

the mystic

D#m7And mama steady crying 'cause she

really the victim (Jesus)

C#And she's getting high and she's

getting addicted (Lord)

And her older boy just stuck with

A#mthe picture, painted vivid

BThat's a family portrait, and her

daughter just absorbed it

D#m7Sixteen, pregnant, baby daddy say

she should abort it (Jesus)

C#But we can't afford it, so she

decides to move forward (Lord)

A#m up

BNow she just feeling nauseous like

she finna throw up

D#m7The water flows down her legs, yeah,

it's finna go up (Jesus)

C#A year done went by, her daughter

just turned one (Lord)

And she's still dependent on her mom

A#m

BBig brother in the streets, he went

and bought him a gun

D#m7He want revenge 'cause the pain,

feelin' numb (Jesus)

C#And her mom still doing drugs 'cause

that's the only time she feel loved

(Lord)

Is it real love? Do the scars really

A#m heal up?

B From all the pain that done

D#m7built up, but they don't feel us

(Jesus)

C#A week done flew by, big bro ridin'

then he see the guys (Lord)

Left his little brother on the side,

A#m bleeding from the side

B He seein' red, it's like he's

bleeding through his eyes

D#m7To see him dead, the only thing

that'll help the grieving up inside

C#(Jesus) Even let him get they last

meal

He done with the streets after this,

A#m this his last kill (Lord)

B He gotta show him that it's that

real

D#m7He ran up on him with the pipe like,

"****, stand still" (Jesus)

C# "You took my brother life, you

made my mother cry" (Lord)

A#m"Tell me one reason I shouldn't send

you up to Christ"

BHe said, "Go 'head, take my life,

I've seen everything but Christ"

D#m7Then big bro just blacked out and

C#all you seen was the light (Jesus,

A#mLord)

[Chorus: Kanye West]

B D#m7 Tell me if you know someone

C# A#mthat needs (Jesus, Lord)

[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]

BUh-huh, in the name of the true and

living God, the beneficent, the

merciful (Hallelujah)

D#m7Thank you for bringing me up the

rough side of the mountain like

Ertuğrul (Jesus)

C#Every knee bowed and every tongue

confessed and paid homage (Lord)

To the monk who visited Rothschilds

A#mlike Thelonious did Pannonica (Shoo)

BIt's Jay Elec-entendre-nica comin'

through your monitor

D#m7Back from the great beyond like the

Son of Man or the Son of Donda?

(Jesus)

C#I never rolled the GSXR or the R6 or

the Honda (Lord)

But I flew my Ducati through North

A#mAmerica like Wakanda

BEarthquakes will strike this nation

for what Bush did to Rwanda (Facts)

D#m7What the Clintons did to Haiti and

Downing Street did to Ghana (Jesus)

C#In Tenochtitlan, they call me

Terremoto, El Negro Loco (Lord)

I shake the tectonic plates of the

A#mgame if I lay one vocal

BThe God is interstellar while you

fellas remain local

D#m7My bars is like the pyramid temples

of Pacal Votan (Jesus)

C#As sure as the C J confirmed

Ezekiel's Wheel (Lord)

I could change the world like Yacub

A#mwith two pieces of steel

BMy sword and my microphone, I swore

to the Christ's throne

D#m7But when you great, they wanna say

you took a L, José Castille (Jesus)

C#I'm in the fight here, fight here

for what seemed like lightyears

(Lord)

My rugged cross and thorny crowns

A#msqueeze out Christ tears

BThirty pieces of silver clout, my

Pierre price tier

D#m7It's a war outside, it's a war

outside (Jesus)

C#It's like the last days of Sodom

A#mand Gomorrah outside (Lord)

[Chorus: Kanye West]

B D#m7 Tell me if you know someone that

D#m7Tell me if you know someone that

C#needs (Jesus, Lord)

[Outro: Larry Hoover Jr. & Kanye

West]

A#m BWhat up, Ye? This Larry Hoover Jr

First and foremost, I wanna thank

D#m7you for taking the fight for my

father to the Oval Office

C# You might not have been the only

one that could've did that

A#mBut you were the one that did do

that

B And with your assistance, we can

D#m7 continue to let the world take part

in this fight

C#You know, to me, it kinda feels like

Me, my mother, my brothers, and my

A#mkids

BHave all been incarcerated through

this journey

D#m7And we haven't even been to jail

C#We have been looked at and treated

as criminals

For being a part of this family

A#m BMy father's truth and the reality

that he raised me in

D#m7Is that he wanted to make a change

in this community (Tell me if you

know someone that needs)

'Cause the conditions in this

C#capitalist society is what made him

And it is what made the children of

today

A#m BAfter twenty-five years of bein'

locked down, twenty-three and one

D#m7My father has not called any shots

C#from one of the most secure and

segregated prisons in the world

A#mAnd will not, once released, call

Bany shots for the Gangster Disciples

D#m7If my father's intentions were to

C#lead us to death, destruction

Into the Hell that he has had to

live in for the past twenty-six

years

A#m B Man, he would be dead to me

D#m7 I didn't sign up for that

C#I didn't stay on this journey this

long for that

All my life, man

A#m BI've been waitin' for my father to

come home

D#m7They told me when I graduate eighth

C# grade, he would be home

A#mThen they told me when I

Bgraduate from high school, he would

be home

D#m7 I went away to Morris Brown, I

C# graduated and he still ain't home

Now I'm a adult, and my daughter

A#m Bwent away to college and graduated

D#m7He still not home

C#Now even more than that, my son, he

graduated eighth grade and we still

waitin'

A#m BMatter of fact, he hasn't hugged,

kissed, or touched any of his

grandchildren

D#m7 And they haven't been able to

touch they grandfather

C#Even though it is not seen that way

for some of us

A#m BBut for many of us, Larry Hoover is

a beacon of hope for his community

D#m7Who deserves to breathe free air

C# N.C.

Free my father (Jesus), Mr. Larry

Hoover Sr. (Lord)
