[Chorus]
Fmadd9 Fmmaj7 Fm
Mass hallucination, baby
Fmadd9 Fmmaj7 Fm
Ill education, baby
Bbm7 Want to reconnect with your eC7/Glations?
Fmadd9 This is your station, baby
[Verse 1]
Fmmaj7 Fm
Look inside these walls and you see I'm havin' withdrawals
Of a prFmadd9isoner on his way
Fmmaj7
Trapped inside your desire to fire bullets that stray
TrFmack attire just tell you I'm tFmadd9ired and ran away
Fmmaj7
I should ask a choir: "What do you require
To sing a song that acquFmire me to have faith?"
As the rBbm7ecord spin I should pray
For the record, I recognize tC7/Ghat I'm easily prey
I got ate alive yesterday
I got aFmadd9nimosity buildin', it's prob'ly big as a buildin'
Fmmaj7 Fm
Me jumpin' off of the roof is me just playin' it safe
[Bridge 1]
But wDbhat am I 'posed to do when the topic is red or blue
And you uDb/Abnderstand that I ain't
But kC7/Gnow I'm accustomed to
Just a cDbouple that look for trouble and live in the street with rank
No bDb/Abetter picture to paint than me wC7/Galkin' from Bible study
And cDballed his homies because he had said he noticed my face
From a fDb/Abunction that tooken place, they was wC7/Gonderin' if I bang
Db Step on my neck and get blood on your Nike checks
I don't mDb/Abind 'cause one day you'll respC7/Gect
The good kid, m.A.A.d Fmadd9city
[Chorus]
Fmadd9 Fmmaj7 Fm
Mass hallucination, baby

Bbm7 Want to reconnect with your eC7/Glations?
Fmadd9 This is your station, baby
[Verse 2]
Fmmaj7 Fm
All I see is strobe lights, blindin' me in my hindsight
FFmadd9indin' me by myself, promise me you can help
Fmmaj7 Fm
In all honesty I got time to be copacetic until
You had fFmadd9inally made decision to hold me against my will
Fmmaj7 Fm
It was like a head-on collision that folded me standing still
I can nBbm7ever pick out the difference and grade a cop on the bill
Every tC7/Gime you clock in the morning, I feel you just want to kill
All my Fmadd9innocence while ignorin' my purpose to persevere
Fmmaj7 Fm
As a better person; I know you heard this and probably in fear
[Bridge 2]
But wDbhat am I 'posed to do when the blinkin' of red and blue
FlashDb/Ab from the top of your roof and your dC7/Gog has to say woof
And you aDbsk: "Lift up your shirt," because you wonder if a tattoo
Of affDb/Abiliation can make it a plC7/Geasure to put me through
Gang fDbiles, but that don't matter because the matter is racial profDb/Abile
I heard 'em chatter: "He's prC7/Gob'ly young, but I know that he's dDbown
Step on his neck as hard as your bullet-proof vest
He don't mDb/Abind, he know we'll never respC7/Gect
The good kid, m.A.A.d. Fmcity."

[Verse 3]
Fmmaj7 Fm
All I see in this room: Twenties, Xannies and these 'shrooms
GrDbown-up candy for pain, can we live in a sane
SociDb/Abety? It's entirely stC7/Gressful upon my brain
You hDbired me as a victim, I quietly hope for change
When vDb/Abiolence is the rhythm, insC7/Gpired me to obtain
The sDbilence in this room with Twenties, Xannies and 'shrooms
Some gDb/Abrown-up candy, I lost it, I fC7/Geel it's nothin' to lose
The strDbeets sure to release the worst side of my best
Don't mDb/Abind, 'cause now you ever in dC7/Gebt to good kid, m.A.A.d. city
[Chorus]
Fmadd9 Fmmaj7 Fm
