DSittin' by myself, I'm just thinkin'

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

I was dreamin'

EMan, it's hard to be an angel when

you surrounded by demons (Jesus)

C#mI watched so many people leave

I see 'em change by the season,

C#mthat's mama's sеasonin'

DGod got you, the devil's watchin',

never let the reaper in (Jesus)

EBut lately, I've been losin' all my

deepest friends (Lord)

And lately, I've been swimmin' on

C#mthe deepest end

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

it ain't no love there

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

E Suicidal thoughts got you

wonderin' what's up there (Lord)

And while I introduce the party, you

C#m say it's up there

DToo many pills, so much potions, so

much pain, too many emotions

F#m7 And everything that you do good,

it just go unnoticed (Jesus)

E Did He tell you that you good

and just stay focused? (Lord)

C#mMama, you was the life of the party

D I swear you brought life to the

party

F#m7 When you lost your life, it took

the life out the party (Jesus)

EAnd now I'm lightyears ahead of

those nightmares (Lord)

I deaded those night terrors when

C#mthe night clears

DAnd if I talk to Christ, can I bring

my mother back to life?

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

in the afterlife? (Jesus)

EBut back to reality, where

everything's a tragedy (Lord)

You better have a strategy or you

C#mcould be a statistic

DLittle boy dies, he's just one of

the mystic

F#m7And mama steady crying 'cause she

EAnd she's getting high and she's

getting addicted (Lord)

And her older boy just stuck with

C#mthe picture, painted vivid

DThat's a family portrait, and her

daughter just absorbed it

DBig brother in the streets, he went

and bought him a gun

F#m7He want revenge 'cause the pain,

feelin' numb (Jesus)

EAnd her mom still doing drugs 'cause

that's the only time she feel loved

(Lord)

Is it real love? Do the scars really

C#m heal up?

D From all the pain that done

EA week done flew by, big bro ridin'

then he see the guys (Lord)

Left his little brother on the side,

C#m bleeding from the side

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

bleeding through his eyes

F#m7To see him dead, the only thing

that'll help the grieving up inside

E(Jesus) Even let him get they last

meal

He done with the streets after this,

C#m this his last kill (Lord)

D He gotta show him that it's that

real

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

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

E "You took my brother life, you

made my mother cry" (Lord)

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

you up to Christ"

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

I've seen everything but Christ"

F#m7Then big bro just blacked out and

Eall you seen was the light (Jesus,

rough side of the mountain like

Ertuğrul (Jesus)

EEvery knee bowed and every tongue

confessed and paid homage (Lord)

To the monk who visited Rothschilds

C#mlike Thelonious did Pannonica (Shoo)

DIt's Jay Elec-entendre-nica comin'

through your monitor

F#m7Back from the great beyond like the

Son of Man or the Son of Donda?

(Jesus)

EI never rolled the GSXR or the R6 or

the Honda (Lord)

But I flew my Ducati through North

C#mAmerica like Wakanda

DEarthquakes will strike this nation

for what Bush did to Rwanda (Facts)

F#m7What the Clintons did to Haiti and

Downing Street did to Ghana (Jesus)

EIn Tenochtitlan, they call me

Terremoto, El Negro Loco (Lord)

I shake the tectonic plates of the

C#mgame if I lay one vocal

DThe God is interstellar while you

fellas remain local

F#m7My bars is like the pyramid temples

of Pacal Votan (Jesus)

EAs sure as the C J confirmed

Ezekiel's Wheel (Lord)

I could change the world like Yacub

C#mwith two pieces of steel

DMy sword and my microphone, I swore

to the Christ's throne

F#m7But when you great, they wanna say

you took a L, José Castille (Jesus)

EI'm in the fight here, fight here

for what seemed like lightyears

(Lord)

My rugged cross and thorny crowns

C#msqueeze out Christ tears

DThirty pieces of silver clout, my

Pierre price tier

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

outside (Jesus)

EIt's like the last days of Sodom

C#mand Gomorrah outside (Lord)

[Chorus: Kanye West]

[Outro: Larry Hoover Jr. & Kanye

West]

C#m DWhat up, Ye? This Larry Hoover Jr

First and foremost, I wanna thank

F#m7you for taking the fight for my

father to the Oval Office

E You might not have been the only

one that could've did that

C#mBut you were the one that did do

that

D And with your assistance, we can

F#m7 continue to let the world take part

in this fight

EYou know, to me, it kinda feels like

Me, my mother, my brothers, and my

C#mkids

DHave all been incarcerated through

this journey

F#m7And we haven't even been to jail

EWe have been looked at and treated

as criminals

For being a part of this family

C#m DMy father's truth and the reality

that he raised me in

F#m7Is that he wanted to make a change

in this community (Tell me if you

know someone that needs)

'Cause the conditions in this

Ecapitalist society is what made him

And it is what made the children of

today

C#m DAfter twenty-five years of bein'

locked down, twenty-three and one

F#m7My father has not called any shots

Efrom one of the most secure and

segregated prisons in the world

C#mAnd will not, once released, call

Dany shots for the Gangster Disciples

F#m7If my father's intentions were to

Elead us to death, destruction

Into the Hell that he has had to

live in for the past twenty-six

years

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

F#m7 I didn't sign up for that

EI didn't stay on this journey this

long for that

All my life, man

C#m DI've been waitin' for my father to

come home

F#m7They told me when I graduate eighth

E grade, he would be home

C#mThen they told me when I

Dgraduate from high school, he would

be home

F#m7 I went away to Morris Brown, I

E graduated and he still ain't home

Now I'm a adult, and my daughter

C#m Dwent away to college and graduated

F#m7He still not home

ENow even more than that, my son, he

graduated eighth grade and we still

waitin'

C#m DMatter of fact, he hasn't hugged,

kissed, or touched any of his

grandchildren

F#m7 And they haven't been able to

touch they grandfather

EEven though it is not seen that way

for some of us

C#m DBut for many of us, Larry Hoover is

a beacon of hope for his community

F#m7Who deserves to breathe free air

E N.C.

Free my father (Jesus), Mr. Larry

Hoover Sr. (Lord)
