Verse 1:
Cm F
I got my hands in the air, officer don't shoot
Cm F
Told 'em I couldn't breathe, then he gave me the boot
Cm F
Cause they be givin' the time, but never gave me the loot
Cm F
They got my back to the wall, so what a brotha' goin' do?
Cm F
Took a couple of L's, they say a try is a fail
Cm F
It's either put on the mask, or throw the work on the scale
Cm F
Times done change, but I can't e'en tell
Cm F
It's only two ways to go, it's goin' be freedom or jail
Cm F
They gave Lucious a case, and he couldn't even bail
Cm F
Judge gave him a option, go to trial or tell
Cm F
Now he sittin' in prison, while the Governor fishin'
Cm F
We gotta' draw up the plan, then accomplish the mission
Cm F
You put a cat in the corner, he goin' be scratchin' and hissin'
Cm F
We goin' survive in the ghetto, cause the people ain't livin'

So how a leader goin' lead, if he ain't got the vision?
Cm F
I had a dream in my head, I gotta break outta' prison
Oh Lord!
Cm F x4
Hook:
Eb Gm Cm
I wanna live, I wanna live my life today

When the sun woke up, I got on my knees to pray
Ab Eb
Let the injustice be solved and mended today
Gm
Do you live for the lo-ove?
Cm
Do you live for the hate? Ohh
Ab
It's like you make it, then they take it
Eb
And you can't get it back, o-oh!
Gm
Do you believe in the creator?
Cm
Do you even know anymore?
Ab
It's like you make it, then they take it
Eb
And you can't get it back, o-oh
Gm Cm
I wanna live, wanna live my life today

Eb
No justice, no peace, in these troubled times like these
Gm
I'm down on one knee, and I'm praying for what I need
Cm
So whatever's in that dark, is goin' always come to that light
Ab
So if you shot him in his back, two wrongs ain't never made it no right
Eb
Tried to test my strength, and I fought with all my might
Gm
Took a page out of this chapter, just to reconcile my life
We hate that Lucious goin' through it, we know that he ain't do it
F F x2
Let's change for the better, make the world a better place
Eb
United as a people, be the winners of the race
Gm
And never kill the Joker, cause he used to be a Ace
Cm
It's things outta' life, that you just can't replace
Ab
Like the sketches to the drawing, that the pencil couldn't trace
Empire!
