D - A - Bm D - A - Bm - G
[Verse]
D
I think happiness went the other way
A
Sometimes you just have to wait
Bm
I never believed in God
But things got so fucked up
That I had to pray
D
I used to steal my Daddy's cabernet
Never thought it would turn into a rattlesnake
A Bm
Thinking', everything will be all right
G
If we could get thru the week
Maybe see another Saturday
D
All the while where we know where to go
Argue with the homies bout who's gonna row
A
Throw on Goodie Mob
Bm
Some food for the soul
Till it's two in the morning
D
When rain hits the windshield
And everything is still
A Bm
Nothing really is a big deal
G
One hand on the steering wheel
And we gonna be all right

[Verse]
D
I had a brown paper bag
A
St. Ides in that motherfucker
Bm G
Around the city we smash
5-0 coming' then you know I'm running
D
Crawling the broken fences, when shit gets hard
A
You know who your friend is
Bm
And when I lose perspective
G
Need to go to a place where I lose reception
D
Looking at the satellites pass by
A
Reflect there on my past life
Bm
I can barely remember last night
D
Another morning, swearing it's the last time
Where would I be?
A
Can't start over you don't get a new ID
Bm
I know the devil fancy me
G
But that don't mean that motherfucker get to dance with me!

D - A - Bm D - A - Bm - G
[Verse]
D
I bought a house, second guess of what I own now (What?)
Traffic movement kinda slow now (What?)
A Bm
I watch a population grow wild (What?)
A bunch of people I don't know now (What?)
D
My city's changed and I'm zoned out
I thought about New York, maybe SoCal
A Bm
Put up condos people can't afford now
G
Landmarks bulldozed been tore down
D
Overpopulated but can seem like a ghost town
Keep a couple real ones with me
When it goes down
A Bm
Lack of diversity, I think about Sloane now
Only reason I would ever leave my hometown
D
If I still drink, I would crack a 40 ounce
Parents finally left, moved away, and they sold the house
A
It's really hard to ignore it now
Bm
Wish that we could sort it out
G
Last couple sips pour it out
St. Ides
