[Intro]
Yeah, I just can't take this pressure no more
[Verse 1]
A#m
Why I feel like I've been in this place before
D#m
I just can't take no more
F# G#7
I just can't smile like I'm still me, I just can't fake no more
A#m D#m
I try to be all I can but that wasn't enough for them
F# G#7
We can't find love so we replace it with these drugs again
A#m
I drink from this bottle dog it's my only friend
D#m
I'm so scared to be alone again
F#
Fake smile on my face
G#7
I just can't keep pretending like I don't pretend
A#m
And my little homie’s doing twenty five
D#m
If God exists why he never try
F#
To show us that this life is more than pain
G#7
Cause is hard to live when you’re dead inside
A#m
And they say I’m worthless cause I ain’t a Christian
D#m
Like turn a church into a fucking business
F#
They killed Jehovah, didn't leave a witness
G#7
And these preachers crooked as these politicians
A#m
Politics, religion, I don’t see the difference
D#m
They crucify me cause I’m speaking different
F#
Who the fuck are they to judge?
G#7
Tell me you or you to criticize the way I’m living
A#m
40 ounces for the pain
D#m
I ain’t been the same since I’ve seen my pops cry
F#
I might be light skin to you
G#7
But I’m still a nigga in the cops eyes
A#m
They ain't stopping til' we all die
D#m
Mama I just hope you understand
F#
I just couldn’t take the pressure.
G#7
Mama, see I tried my best to be a better man
A#m
And you might know my story dawg
D#m
But you won't ever know my pain
F#
And she was all I needed
G#
Now this bottle is my Novocain
A#m
Trying not to go insane now
D#m
Trying not to go insane now
F#
Trying not to go insane
[Hook]
G#7 A#m
They say lately I ain't been the same
D#m F#

[Verse 2].
A#m
Yeah, man I can't feel nothing no more
D#m
Fake love don't cut it no more
F#
Homie, I've been drinking so much
G#7
Nothing staying in my stomach no more
A#m
I can't even feel the pain inside
D#m
I can't keep living in a lie
F#
Yeah, I might be breathing just like everybody else
G#7
But I still don't feel alive
A#m
Every night man, I hear a pistol poppin'
D#m
Make me feel like God ain't really watching
F#
Watch out for the snakes, they steady plottin'
G#7
They wanna put you in a cage or in a coffin'
A#m
Now a days, these cops just wanna kill
D#m
No love in the streets, don't wanna feel
F#
What I felt when I heard my lil' brother passed
G#7
I'll never get him back
A#m
But yo I still, know his soul is still roamin' on the streets
D#m
Now I just hope he's watching over me
F#
Now I just keep on praying
G#7
I've been trynna' talk to God but these demons never leave
A#m
I know I lost myself along the way
D#m
I was just too scared to fade away
F#
Now they all keep begging me to stay
G#7
But I can't be here another day
A#m
So I drink from this bottle til' I feel numb again
D#m
I've been tempted by these drugs again
F#
I know I ain't been the same
G#7
Momma told me she just wanna see her son again
A#m
I just wanna see her smile again
D#m
I don't ever wanna see her cry
F#
So I lie and say that I'm okay
G#7
But, I've been plottin' on my suicide
A#m
And you might know my story dawg
D#m
But you won't ever know my pain
F#
And she was all I needed
