[Verse 1]
AmLet me tell you a story F'bout black
CThe one memory, and the one who Ethrew it right back
AmHe was down so I Ftook a ride
CHe moved the best way outta there so I Etook his advice
[Chorus 1]
Am OhF, Ctwo seconds Eflat
AmIf I'd've Fknow he would've Ctreated me like Ethat
AmWhoFa, Ctwo seconds Eflat
AmHow was I to Fknow he woulda Cdone me like Ethat?
(continue with the same chord interchange and rhythm as above)
[Verse 2]
AmHe had an empty Fgaze
CAnd his eyes like a Ebear
AmTook me Fthoroughly
CI threw the coat away and just like a Efox he said
[Chorus 2]
AmOh,F wCho's lookin' Eat ya?
AmWho was a Fgood kid when CGod was lookin' Eafter ya?
AmWhoFa, Cwho'll make it Ethrough?
AmHow was I to Fknow it would've Cdone this to Eyou?
[Verse 3]
AmHe made his move then I was Fdown all alone
CI kept askin' to Ecome up for luck
AmI would take it and he would Fturn it in
Wait, Clet me catch my breath
EThat's black if you can catch him with it
AmI was someone who Fbelieved in sin, he said
CI think I know just Ewho that is
[Chorus 2]
AmOh,F wCho's lookin' Eat ya?
AmWho was a Fgood kid when CGod was lookin' Eafter ya?
AmWhoFa, Cwho'll make it Ethrough?
AmHow was I to Fknow it would've Cdone this to Eyou?
[Verse 4]
AmDead man now, Fonce was a friend
CRan all the way upstairs just to Emake my defense (save me, save me)
AmThrew me in the bag with iFce and a slab
Can of Ccoke down my throat, almost his wholeE hand fittin' in (oh, hows it stop, yeah)
[Verse 5]
AmFirst I was amused, closest to Fdeath ever been
CWhen the bright light went away I knew dEeath was settin' in
AmIf I knew I would Ftell ya
CTo keep trouble off, I Etell ya
AmYou're the next Fone to get
CLeft with the story, that's when you goE mad, that's black
[Chorus 3]
AmOh,F wCho's not lookin' Eat ya? (angel of death)
AmWho'll be a Fgood kid now thatC I'm lookin' Eafter ya?
AmWhoFa,C who'll make it tEhrough?
AmHow was I to Fknow black would'veC turned from me to Eyou?
