When I Ball

Dmaj7
My momma said I didn't come into 
this world with tears

Instead I welcome her with open eyes
 and open ears
Am7
But came to grew a few things that 
couldn't be repaired
Em
We saw a future in each other, bend 
and hope the fear
Dmaj7
Some things you don't get to decide,
 it's just a phase you share

I used to try and hold the weight, 
that shit was need to bear
Am7
Watched uncles going on vacation for
 a couple years
Em
When they came back, thеy needed 
clothes, they had no souvеnirs
Dmaj7
I picked up the phone, they callin' 
us from correction

But nothin' is wrong, it's fillin' 
my heart with questions
Am7
My momma is home, I'm followin' her 
expressions
Em
Her droppin' the tone, some things 
that she had to mention
Dmaj7
I nodded, I listened, she had all of
 my attention

"When you on your own, there's gonna
 be some directions
Am7
I need you to follow, and never make
 an exception"
Em
I love that she held me and wished I
 would be protected


[Chorus: Joba & Kevin Abstract]
F#m
You always used to tell me
                      Am7
I could be anything I wanna be
         Em
But it's hard to see, it's hard to 
be
F#m
You always used to tell me
                      Am7
I could be anything I wanna be

Em
But it's hard to see, it's hard to 
be


[Verse 2: Matt Champion]
Dmaj7
On my sucker-free shit since I was a
 fetus

Pullin' up at the doc' in a Mazda 
sixty-sixty
Am7
And my dad was trippin' bad, hit the
 gas like car chase
Em
Light blue in the back, momma 
gettin' late for pay
Dmaj7
Dropped my sister at the bozo house,
 was twenty-three

Sweat drippin' down the face side, 
river runnin' free
Am7
Dark mornin' with the fog pourin' in
 and out the trees
Em
Every moment through they eyes

Seemin', zoomin' lightspeed before 
me
Dmaj7
She lost, but still want tragedy

Grittin' her teeth down to the root,
 pain, it like cavity
Am7
Hold her hands like they glue, radio
 channel on news
Em
Valentine's with a X up on the 
calendar, they knew
Dmaj7
I won't be a fuckin' baller like 
them posters on the wall

A little stain can be the beauty in 
it all
Am7
I missed out of trouble, must your 
luck was rubbin' off
Em
Stickin' to you like moss, you my 
Kate, you my rock

Forever


[Chorus: Joba & Kevin Abstract]
F#m
You always used to tell me
                      Am7
I could be anything I wanna be
         Em
But it's hard to see, it's hard to 
be
F#m
You always used to tell me
                      Am7
I could be anything I wanna be
         Em
But it's hard to see, it's hard to 
be


[Bridge]
Dmaj7
Here I go, I'm gonna spread my wings

All grown up like go and look at me
Am7
You'll always be (You'll always be)
Em
A part of me (A part of me)
Dmaj7
Here I go, I'm gonna spread my wings

All grown up and blowing up, go look
 at me
Am7
You'll always be (You'll always be)
Em
A part of me (A part of me)


[Otro]

That's why
  Dmaj7                       Am7
A part of me, a part of me, a part 
of me
  Em            Dmaj7
A part of me, a part of me, a part 
of me
  Am7           Em
A part of me, a part of me
