Tom: B
Introdução:
Gm F
I came from nothing but not nothing like "nothing"
Gm F
"Nothing", like "nobody thought I was something"...
Gm F
"Nothing", like "called every name in the book",
Eb
But for every second guess
F
I never gave a second look
Gm
Look, I fell myself
F
"Don't let it get to me.
Gm F
cuz if the best the got is not impressing me,
Gm F
then there's no reason they should get the best of me,
Eb
While they were aiming at my words
F
They missed the rest of me
Eb F Gm
How can I stop all these critics from their talking
Eb F Gm
the more I do, the more they say
Eb F
But there's no way I'm stopping
Gm
so they just keep on talking
Eb F Gm
Who do you think I think I am?
Gm F
I got the felling that there's more like me
Gm F
Born in Babylon but you just got to be free
Gm F
Shackles on your feet that you and me can't see,
Eb
but you can feel them and they're heavy,
F
so you need that key
Gm F
and now you're looking at your hand, saying
Gm F
"Man, if I ditch the system, these could be mine"
Gm F
but then you hear a voice come up from behind,
Eb F
"Don't even think about stepping out of line..."
solo
Gm F
My friends are deep and they're all I got,
Gm F
and they stand up behind me if you like it or not
Gm F
and I'm telling you that the Fire's Hot,
Eb
did you see that smoke
F
and did you hear that shot...
Gm F
Cuz it's a war and in the middle I am
Gm F
So judge now with your pen in hand
Gm F
Cuz I'm too busy to judge another man,
Eb
I'm trying to write the blueprint
F
for all the world to understand
this part of the song is sang whit the chorus.
