[Verse 2]
D#mThe essence, the basics, without it you make it
FmAllow me to make this, childlike in nature
D#mRhythm, you have it or you don't that's a fallacy
FmI'm in them, every sprouting tree, every child o' peace
D#mEvery cloud and sea, you see with your eyes
I see Fmdestruction and demise, corruption in disguise
From this D#mfucking enterprise, now I'm sucked into your lies
Through FmRussel, not his muscles, but the percussion he provides
With me as a D#mguidD#me, y'all can see me A#mnow
cause you don't see with your D#meyesD#m, you perceive with your A#mmind
So I'D#mma sD#mtick around with RuA#mss and be a mentor
D#mBustD#m a few rhymes so motheA#mrfuckers remember
Where the D#mthought D#mis, I brought A#mall this
So you can surD#mviveD#m when law is A#mlawless
D#mFeelings, sensations that you Fmthought was dead
D#m N.C.
No squealing, remember: that it's all in your head
[Chorus]
I ain't happy,D#m

Gm (played on 10th fret)
[Verse 1]
GmWhenever I think that I’m losing control
GmThink that my life force will split from my soul
Then I Ffeel my Cfuture lies under my Gmtongue
GmI wait for a bell which will never be rung
GmI know that I need to step over the line
And I Ffeel my Croots growing strong over Dsus4time D
That’s A#when I start to Chear
The Ffreeway calling A#for me
A#Others hear it Ctoo

We just have to trust
That we Gmchoose the right traveler
GmFrom out of the crowd
Don’t cD#hoose the A#friendly one who’s Ftalking too loud
Don’t cD#hoose the A#one filled with Fplans but no dreams
Don’t cD#hoose the A#one who is Fnot what he seems
