[INTRO]
Em Dm
[Verse 1]
Em Dm
Summertime in Virginia was a oven(oven)
Em Dm
All the kids eating ice cream with their cousins (cousins)
Em Dm
I was studyin' while you was playing the dozens (dozens)
Em Dm
Don't act like you was there when you wasn't
[Refrain 1]
Em Dm
Runnin' from the man (man) runnin' from the badge (badge)
Em Dm
Don't act like you was there when you wasn't
Em Dm
Runnin' toward our plans (plans) and the judges hands (hands)
Em Dm
Don't act like you was there when you wasn't
[Pre-Chorus]
Em Dm
I know they say you crawl for your own
Em Dm
But in my mind I already jog
Em Dm
If I stand still I cannot get far
Em Dm
They want the Moon, I'm on Mars
[Chorus]
Dm F# F
Sometime my mind dives deep

Oh, but no more runnin'

Don't act like you was there when you wasn't
[Refrain 2]

From runnin' to exams (exams) to jobs for a man (man)
Em Dm
Don't act like you was there when you wasn't

Don't act like you was there when you wasn't
[Pre-Chorus]
