So one day when it's all said and done

My life will be the bluest rap song ever sung

My verses will be curses to the rich

And all sorts of authority will cease to exist

My daughters will be free of wars in my honor. Your fist
F
Will raise in the air
Like the silence of revolution My face will appear
C Am
Like the vision of a prisoner with his last beer

This song is a poem and this whole poem is a tear
Dropped to your ear

Outro

So why do kids cry when they're born?

Ever ask yourself that?

I mean, there's no scientifical reason explaining that.
Am F C
Well, it is said that Satan stabs a child at birth
C Am
As an introduction to pain.
F C
You know, welcome to the world, right?
