[Verse 1: Kanye West]
B
Sittin' by myself, I'm just thinkin'
               D#m7
About all I've been through, I wish I was dreamin'
                         C#
Man, it's hard to be an angel when you surrounded by demons (Jesus)
                          A#m
I watched so many people leave (Lord)
                              A#m
I see 'em change by the season, that's mama's sеasonin'
B
God got you, the devil's watchin', he just peekin' in
  D#m7
I know I madе a promise that I'd never let the reaper in (Jesus)
     C#
But lately, I've been losin' all my deepest friends (Lord)
                                                   A#m
And lately, I've been swimmin' on the deepest end
B
  It's just drugs, it ain't no hugs, it ain't no love there
D#m7
    You been down so much you don't even know what's upstairs (Jesus)
C#
    Suicidal thoughts got you wonderin' what's up there (Lord)
                                             A#m
And while I introduce the party, you say it's up there
B
Too many pills, so much potions, so much pain, too many emotions
D#m7
    And everything that you do good, it just go unnoticed (Jesus)
C#
    Did He tell you that you good and just stay focused? (Lord)
                              A#m
Mama, you was the life of the party
B
    I swear you brought life to the party
D#m7
    When you lost your life, it took the life out the party (Jesus)
C#
    That woman rode with me like a Harley (Lord)
                                       A#m
Visions of my cousins in a cell really scarred me
B
   Movin' to the hood was like signin' up for the army
       D#m7
'Cause they been killin' **** since **** was watchin' Barney (Jesus)
         C#
You want dreams to come true? But I have nightmares (Lord)
                                                             A#m
'Cause if that come to life, then I might not be right here
             B
Been in the dark so long, don't know if the light here
              D#m7
But I'm just reaching for the stars like Buzz Lightyear (Jesus)
             C#
And now I'm lightyears ahead of those nightmares (Lord)
                                                    A#m
I deaded those night terrors when the night clears
    B
And if I talk to Christ, can I bring my mother back to life?
   D#m7
And if I die tonight, will I see her in the afterlife? (Jesus)
     C#
But back to reality, where everything's a tragedy (Lord)
                                                 A#m
You better have a strategy or you could be a statistic
B
Little boy dies, he's just one of the mystic
    D#m7
And mama steady crying 'cause she really the victim (Jesus)
     C#
And she's getting high and she's getting addicted (Lord)
                                                       A#m
And her older boy just stuck with the picture, painted vivid
          B
That's a family portrait, and her daughter just absorbed it
 D#m7
Sixteen, pregnant, baby daddy say she should abort it (Jesus)
        C#
But we can't afford it, so she decides to move forward (Lord)
                                        A#m
Baby shower time, father didn't show up
     B
Now she just feeling nauseous like she finna throw up
           D#m7
The water flows down her legs, yeah, it's finna go up (Jesus)
   C#
A year done went by, her daughter just turned one (Lord)
                                     A#m
And she's still dependent on her mom
      B
Big brother in the streets, he went and bought him a gun
          D#m7
He want revenge 'cause the pain, feelin' numb (Jesus)
         C#
And her mom still doing drugs 'cause that's the only time she feel loved (Lord)
                                     A#m
Is it real love? Do the scars really heal up?
B                                                      D#m7
   From all the pain that done built up, but they don't feel us (Jesus)
  C#
A week done flew by, big bro ridin' then he see the guys (Lord)
                                              A#m
Left his little brother on the side, bleeding from the side
B
  He seein' red, it's like he's bleeding through his eyes
           D#m7
To see him dead, the only thing that'll help the grieving up inside
C#
(Jesus) Even let him get they last meal
                                                               A#m
He done with the streets after this, this his last kill (Lord)
B
   He gotta show him that it's that real
  D#m7
He ran up on him with the pipe like, "****, stand still" (Jesus)
C#
   "You took my brother life, you made my mother cry" (Lord)
A#m
"Tell me one reason I shouldn't send you up to Christ"
    B
He said, "Go 'head, take my life, I've seen everything but Christ"
     D#m7                                                      C#           A#m
Then big bro just blacked out and all you seen was the light (Jesus, Lord)

[Verse 2: Jay Electronica]
                B
Uh-huh, in the name of the true and living God, the beneficent, the merciful (Hallelujah)
D#m7
Thank you for bringing me up the rough side of the mountain like Ertuğrul (Jesus)
C#
Every knee bowed and every tongue confessed and paid homage (Lord)
                                                           A#m
To the monk who visited Rothschilds like Thelonious did Pannonica (Shoo)
      B
It's Jay Elec-entendre-nica comin' through your monitor
D#m7
Back from the great beyond like the Son of Man or the Son of Donda? (Jesus)
   C#
I never rolled the GSXR or the R6 or the Honda (Lord)
                                                  A#m
But I flew my Ducati through North America like Wakanda
      B
Earthquakes will strike this nation for what Bush did to Rwanda (Facts)
         D#m7
What the Clintons did to Haiti and Downing Street did to Ghana (Jesus)
    C#
In Tenochtitlan, they call me Terremoto, El Negro Loco (Lord)
                                                     A#m

    C#
As sure as the C J confirmed Ezekiel's Wheel (Lord)
                                                       A#m
I could change the world like Yacub with two pieces of steel
     B
My sword and my microphone, I swore to the Christ's throne
              D#m7
But when you great, they wanna say you took a L, José Castille (Jesus)
           C#
I'm in the fight here, fight here for what seemed like lightyears (Lord)
                                              A#m
My rugged cross and thorny crowns squeeze out Christ tears
B
Thirty pieces of silver clout, my Pierre price tier
       D#m7
It's a war outside, it's a war outside (Jesus)
               C#                                            A#m
It's like the last days of Sodom and Gomorrah outside (Lord)

[Outro: Larry Hoover Jr. & Kanye West]
                   A#m          B
What up, Ye? This Larry Hoover Jr
                                    D#m7
First and foremost, I wanna thank you for taking the fight for my father to the Oval Office
C#
   You might not have been the only one that could've did that
                          A#m
But you were the one that did do that
B                                                     D#m7
  And with your assistance, we can continue to let the world take part in this fight
                     C#
You know, to me, it kinda feels like
                                   A#m
Me, my mother, my brothers, and my kids
      B
Have all been incarcerated through this journey
       D#m7
And we haven't even been to jail
                    C#
We have been looked at and treated as criminals

For being a part of this family
             A#m            B
My father's truth and the reality that he raised me in
                             D#m7
Is that he wanted to make a change in this community (Tell me if you know someone that needs)
                               C#
'Cause the conditions in this capitalist society is what made him

And it is what made the children of today
       A#m         B
After twenty-five years of bein' locked down, twenty-three and one
    D#m7                                            C#
My father has not called any shots from one of the most secure and segregated prisons in the 
world
                     A#m           B
And will not, once released, call any shots for the Gangster Disciples
        D#m7                                             C#
If my father's intentions were to lead us to death, destruction

Into the Hell that he has had to live in for the past twenty-six years
A#m  B
    Man, he would be dead to me
D#m7
   I didn't sign up for that
                      C#
I didn't stay on this journey this long for that

All my life, man
A#m                       B
I've been waitin' for my father to come home
         D#m7                        C#
They told me when I graduate eighth grade, he would be home
                 A#m                      B
Then they told me    when I graduate from high school, he would be home
D#m7                                C#
    I went away to Morris Brown, I graduated and he still ain't home
                                A#m           B
Now I'm a adult, and my daughter went away to college and graduated
             D#m7
He still not home
                            C#
Now even more than that, my son, he graduated eighth grade and we still waitin'
               A#m            B
Matter of fact,    he hasn't hugged, kissed, or touched any of his grandchildren
D#m7
    And they haven't been able to touch they grandfather
C#
Even though it is not seen that way for some of us
                  A#m      B
But for many of us, Larry Hoover is a beacon of hope for his community
                  D#m7
Who deserves to breathe free air
         C#                              N.C.
Free my father (Jesus), Mr. Larry Hoover Sr. (Lord)
