[Verse - Just bass drum and heavy chug] [Em - heavy mute - 0-14-14-x-x-x] High ho, triple sow cow, I got a feeling like I'm tired of the flow. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. Gasoline suck her in, I got no reason for the state I'm in. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me [D] be (drum fill TT T TT - keep bass drum going under it) [Em] Hotel, taco bell, I got the hit that you know damn well. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. Cut, tease, better believe, I got the feeling that I'm underneath. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me [D] be [Stop #####scroll#####] (drum fill B B B S - Snare pickup on 'But')
[Chorus - Full drums] But it's [C] alright, it's okay, [Am] I got the time, but the time don't pay. [Em] It's alright, it's okay, [D] I got the time, but the time don't pay. [C] alright, it's okay, [Am] I got the time, but the time don't pay. [Em] It's alright, it's [B] okay. (random fill)
[Verse - Just bass drum] [Em] Flip flop, no stop, I got the wit that my enemies lack. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. Trick some, just begun, giving you more when you only want one. 'Cause I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me [D] be (drum fill TT T TT - keep bass drum going under it) [Em] Hot sweat, got debt, keep looking in the locker 'cause you don't know yet. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be. Ship shape, ticker tape, looks to me like there's not escape. But I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me [D] be (drum fill B B B S - Snare pickup on 'But')
[Chorus - Full drums] But it's [C] alright, it's okay, [Am] I got the time, but the time don't pay. [Em] It's alright, it's okay, [D] I got the time, but the time don't pay. [C] alright, it's okay, [Am] I got the time, but the time don't pay. [Em] It's alright, it's [B] okay. (random fill)
