F          Dm  C  F
(I believe)   (I believe)


[Verse 1]
             Dm                   C
Everything I own is everything I owe
                 F                                 Dm  C       F
If it's on the door can I keep my show? (I believe)  (I believe)
                  Dm                        C
Yo, I don't even know, I struggle just to cope
                F                                  Dm  C  F
Hanging by a thread and you hang a rope (I believe)   (I believe)


[Pre-Chorus]
                                           Dm
I'm more than just the numbers on a pay check
                     C                   F
Working hard, don't pay just to live less
                                    Dm
Oh my God, I'm waiting for the recess
                     C
Give me strength to change, my love
                       F
I need this, I need this


[Chorus]
                             Dm
'Cause I believe I'll be free
 C        F
One day I'll be free
                 Dm      C      F
Maybe I'm smoking that good shit
                     Dm
I believe I'll be free
 C        F
One day I'll be free
                   Dm
No matter what time
                   C  F
The present ain't in my mind


[Verse 2]
             Dm                   C
Mama always said 'just enjoy the ride
      F
The grass ain't always greener on the other side'
                 Dm C        F
(I believe) Well   (I believe)
                Dm                      C
I don't got no cry, these concrete jungle boys
F                                                     Dm C       F
I don't see no grass unless I'm smoking it (I believe)  (I believe)


[Pre-Chorus]
                                            Dm
It's more than just the numbers on a pay check
                     C                    F
Working hard, don't pay just to live less
                                   Dm
Oh my God, I'm waiting for the recess

Give me strength to change

I need this, I need this


[Chorus]
            F               Dm
'Cause I believe I'll be free
  C              F
One day I'll be free
                 Dm     C   F
Maybe I'm smoking that good shit
                     Dm
I believe I'll be free
 C                 F
One day I'll be free
                  Dm
No matter what time
              C       F
The present ain't in my mind
       Dm  C     F
Save me,   save me
                         Dm
No matter how hard the times
            C   F
I keep my head high
