[Verse 3]
      Am                   F
Man a big man now, still a man and 
not bitch
          G                        
We had to put the skins down and 
      Em
put the pen on our hips
           Am                 
I got your babes and your babe 
           F
mothers sending me pics
G                            Em
Guess I'm just a legend like Chris
                          Am
You know I had to get the stage laid
                  F
Just in case my melanin drips
          G                     
You know, black gold all over my 
  Em
denims and shit
            Am                    
I guess I'm ready to dip, feeling 
F
very legit

But Timbuktu, that's a hell of a 
trip
         Am                        
Alright, I swear on your mum's life
 F
 that you really love me
  G                        Em
I fly out now and drop everything to
 be with you
Am                       F
This doesn't come twice, all we got 
is one life
  G                        Em
I was on the fence who was doing 
what you needed to
Am                        F
Then they hit you with the 
beetlejuice
G                         Em
Scary how the mother bird has 
treated you
                   Am
So meet me at terminal five,
              F                    
Put all your burdens aside, give 
         G
you a permanent life
              Em
Now get your arse on this plane

[Chorus]
      Am                   F

          G        Em
where you come from
        Am             F          
But I know that I'd go anywhere 
   G   Em
with you
          Am              F       
Where the days are always dark or 
          G        Em
where the sun shone
