[Verse 1: Kanye West]

ESittin' by myself, I'm just thinkin'

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

I was dreamin'

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

you surrounded by demons (Jesus)

D#mI watched so many people leave

(Lord)

I see 'em change by the season,

D#mthat's mama's sеasonin'

EGod got you, the devil's watchin',

he just peekin' in

G#m7I know I madе a promise that I'd

never let the reaper in (Jesus)

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

deepest friends (Lord)

And lately, I've been swimmin' on

D#mthe deepest end

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

it ain't no love there

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

even know what's upstairs (Jesus)

F# Suicidal thoughts got you

wonderin' what's up there (Lord)

And while I introduce the party, you

D#m say it's up there

EToo many pills, so much potions, so

much pain, too many emotions

G#m7 And everything that you do good,

it just go unnoticed (Jesus)

F# Did He tell you that you good

and just stay focused? (Lord)

D#mMama, you was the life of the party

E I swear you brought life to the

party

G#m7 When you lost your life, it took

the life out the party (Jesus)

F# That woman rode with me like a

Harley (Lord)

Visions of my cousins in a cell

D#mreally scarred me

E Movin' to the hood was like

signin' up for the army

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

**** was watchin' Barney (Jesus)

F#You want dreams to come true? But I

have nightmares (Lord)

'Cause if that come to life, then I

D#mmight not be right here

EBeen in the dark so long, don't know

if the light here

G#m7But I'm just reaching for the stars

like Buzz Lightyear (Jesus)

F#And now I'm lightyears ahead of

those nightmares (Lord)

I deaded those night terrors when

D#mthe night clears

EAnd if I talk to Christ, can I bring

my mother back to life?

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

in the afterlife? (Jesus)

F#But back to reality, where

everything's a tragedy (Lord)

You better have a strategy or you

D#mcould be a statistic

ELittle boy dies, he's just one of

the mystic

G#m7And mama steady crying 'cause she

really the victim (Jesus)

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

getting addicted (Lord)

And her older boy just stuck with

D#mthe picture, painted vivid

EThat's a family portrait, and her

daughter just absorbed it

G#m7Sixteen, pregnant, baby daddy say

she should abort it (Jesus)

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

decides to move forward (Lord)

D#m up

ENow she just feeling nauseous like

she finna throw up

G#m7The water flows down her legs, yeah,

it's finna go up (Jesus)

F#A year done went by, her daughter

just turned one (Lord)

And she's still dependent on her mom

D#m

EBig brother in the streets, he went

and bought him a gun

G#m7He want revenge 'cause the pain,

feelin' numb (Jesus)

F#And her mom still doing drugs 'cause

that's the only time she feel loved

(Lord)

Is it real love? Do the scars really

D#m heal up?

E From all the pain that done

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

(Jesus)

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

then he see the guys (Lord)

Left his little brother on the side,

D#m bleeding from the side

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

bleeding through his eyes

G#m7To see him dead, the only thing

that'll help the grieving up inside

F#(Jesus) Even let him get they last

meal

He done with the streets after this,

D#m this his last kill (Lord)

E He gotta show him that it's that

real

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

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

F# "You took my brother life, you

made my mother cry" (Lord)

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

you up to Christ"

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

I've seen everything but Christ"

G#m7Then big bro just blacked out and

F#all you seen was the light (Jesus,

D#mLord)

[Chorus: Kanye West]

E G#m7 Tell me if you know someone

F# D#mthat needs (Jesus, Lord)

[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]

EUh-huh, in the name of the true and

living God, the beneficent, the

merciful (Hallelujah)

G#m7Thank you for bringing me up the

rough side of the mountain like

Ertuğrul (Jesus)

F#Every knee bowed and every tongue

confessed and paid homage (Lord)

To the monk who visited Rothschilds

D#mlike Thelonious did Pannonica (Shoo)

EIt's Jay Elec-entendre-nica comin'

through your monitor

G#m7Back from the great beyond like the

Son of Man or the Son of Donda?

(Jesus)

F#I never rolled the GSXR or the R6 or

the Honda (Lord)

But I flew my Ducati through North

D#mAmerica like Wakanda

EEarthquakes will strike this nation

for what Bush did to Rwanda (Facts)

G#m7What the Clintons did to Haiti and

Downing Street did to Ghana (Jesus)

F#In Tenochtitlan, they call me

Terremoto, El Negro Loco (Lord)

I shake the tectonic plates of the

D#mgame if I lay one vocal

EThe God is interstellar while you

fellas remain local

G#m7My bars is like the pyramid temples

of Pacal Votan (Jesus)

F#As sure as the C J confirmed

Ezekiel's Wheel (Lord)

I could change the world like Yacub

D#mwith two pieces of steel

EMy sword and my microphone, I swore

to the Christ's throne

G#m7But when you great, they wanna say

you took a L, José Castille (Jesus)

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

for what seemed like lightyears

(Lord)

My rugged cross and thorny crowns

D#msqueeze out Christ tears

EThirty pieces of silver clout, my

Pierre price tier

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

outside (Jesus)

F#It's like the last days of Sodom

D#mand Gomorrah outside (Lord)

[Chorus: Kanye West]

E G#m7 Tell me if you know someone that

F# needs (Jesus, Lord)

D#m ENow we've been through a lot of

things

G#m7Tell me if you know someone that

F#needs (Jesus, Lord)

D#m EHe lives in a lot of things

G#m7Tell me if you know someone that

F#needs (Jesus, Lord)

D#m EBeen through a lot of things

G#m7Tell me if you know someone that

F#needs (Jesus, Lord)

[Outro: Larry Hoover Jr. & Kanye

West]

D#m EWhat up, Ye? This Larry Hoover Jr

First and foremost, I wanna thank

G#m7you for taking the fight for my

father to the Oval Office

F# You might not have been the only

one that could've did that

D#mBut you were the one that did do

that

E And with your assistance, we can

G#m7 continue to let the world take part

in this fight

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

Me, my mother, my brothers, and my

D#mkids

EHave all been incarcerated through

this journey

G#m7And we haven't even been to jail

F#We have been looked at and treated

as criminals

For being a part of this family

D#m EMy father's truth and the reality

that he raised me in

G#m7Is that he wanted to make a change

in this community (Tell me if you

know someone that needs)

'Cause the conditions in this

F#capitalist society is what made him

And it is what made the children of

today

D#m EAfter twenty-five years of bein'

locked down, twenty-three and one

G#m7My father has not called any shots

F#from one of the most secure and

segregated prisons in the world

D#mAnd will not, once released, call

Eany shots for the Gangster Disciples

G#m7If my father's intentions were to

F#lead us to death, destruction

Into the Hell that he has had to

live in for the past twenty-six

years

D#m E Man, he would be dead to me

G#m7 I didn't sign up for that

F#I didn't stay on this journey this

long for that

All my life, man

D#m EI've been waitin' for my father to

come home

G#m7They told me when I graduate eighth

F# grade, he would be home

D#mThen they told me when I

Egraduate from high school, he would

be home

G#m7 I went away to Morris Brown, I

F# graduated and he still ain't home

Now I'm a adult, and my daughter

D#m Ewent away to college and graduated

G#m7He still not home

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

graduated eighth grade and we still

waitin'

D#m EMatter of fact, he hasn't hugged,

kissed, or touched any of his

grandchildren

G#m7 And they haven't been able to

touch they grandfather

F#Even though it is not seen that way

for some of us

D#m EBut for many of us, Larry Hoover is

a beacon of hope for his community

G#m7Who deserves to breathe free air

F# N.C.

Free my father (Jesus), Mr. Larry

Hoover Sr. (Lord)
