C A Dm Ddim G [Verse 1] C Yeah, okay, the man who showed me how to fight A Am The same one who took the training wheels off of my bike Dm Then when I swerved and almost crashed into the neighbor's car C You screamed so loud at me that I fell over the handle bars And I was scared to make you mad Am You were scared that God was 'bout to take away, like, everything you had Dm What's weird, that certain memories you never forget G I mean, especially the ones that made you upset C Course you know those times we both would regret Am When you and mom were fighting, I would go and bury my head Dm And with a pillow case on it, I could maybe pretend I'd make it all go away G But after, the only thing that's broken was plates C I know I made my mistakes, I didn't always behave Am Slipping out of the house and lying straight to your face Dm That shit was never okay The least I'll do is show you respect G But I can never pay back the debt [Chorus] C Am When you get down, someone's gonna steal your crown Dm G But you'll always be a king to me, and a family C A Cause you showed me how, showed me how to be a man Dm G And always had a plan for me, a family [Verse 2] C And when my little brother came, he told me you always keep him safe A Cause ain't no one closer in the world that you could replace Dm So that there will be a day when it's just you and him alone G#m F You need to know that I can treat him okay C Don't wanna think about things in that way But just know that I understand it A It's me and him against the fucking planet Dm Playing Madden, I let him be his own man G Up in college, even when my music shit start expanding C I know you're proud to be a parent Yeah, we talk a lot, that shit apparent Am Sometimes it's all good, sometimes it's about Taryn Dm Either way, you listen to my shit Always lend a ear for me G Said you work two jobs, 365 a year for me C Now I'm growing up and that shit became so clear to me A Dm Told me that the only thing in life I need to fear is me Well, the least I'll do is show you respect G But I can never pay back the debt [Chorus] C Am When you get down, someone's gonna steal your crown Dm G But you'll always be a king to me, and a family C A Cause you showed me how, showed me how to be a man Dm G And always had a plan for me, a family [Bridge] C A When you get down, I'm gon' lift you up right now Dm G#dim F When you get down, I'm gon' lift you up right now C A When you get down, I'm gon' lift you up right now Dm G When you get down, it's still gon' be the same [Chorus] C Am When you get down, someone's gonna steal your crown Dm G But you'll always be a king to me, and a family C A Cause you showed me how, showed me how to be a man Dm G And always had a plan for me, a family [Chorus] C Am When you get down, someone's gonna steal your crown Dm G But you'll always be a king to me, and a family C A Cause you showed me how, showed me how to be a man Dm G And always had a plan for me, a family
