DmAmGDmAmG
Why do I kneel to these concepts
DmAmG
Tempted by control, controlled by temptation
DmAmG
Stay low they say, stay low
| DmAm | AmG | DmAm | AmG |
[Chorus]
DmAm
They say stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
G
But we go where we want to
DmAm
They think this thing is a highway, highway
G
But will they be alive tomorrow?
[Verse 1]
DmAm
They think this thing is a highway
GDm
If it was our way, we’d have a tempo change every other time change
Am
Cause our minds change, and what we think is good
G
I wasn’t raised in the hood
DmAm
But I know a thing or two about pain and darkness
G
If it wasn’t for this music I don’t know how I would have fought this
DmAm
Regardless, all these songs I’m hearing are so heartless
GDm
Don’t trust a perfect person and don’t trust a song that’s flawless, honest
Am
There’s a few songs on this record that feel common
G
I’m in constant confrontation with what I want and what is poppin'
DmAm
In the industry it seems to me that singles on the radio are currency
G
My creativity’s on the free when I’m playing shows
[Chorus]
DmAm
They say stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
G
But we go where we want to
DmAm
They think this thing is a highway, highway
G
But will they be alive tomorrow?
[Interlude]
| DmAm |
DmAmDmAmEm
Will they be alive tomorrow? Yeah
[Verse 2]
Dm
I’m sorry if that question I asked last
AmDm
Scared you a bit like a Hazmat, in a gas mask if you ask Zack
Am
‘Cause my brother he likes when I rap fast
Dm
But let's backtrack
Back to this
Am
Who would you live and die for on that list?
Em
But the problem is, there’s another list that exists and no one really wants to think about this
DmAm
Forget sanity, forget salary, forget vanity, my morality
Dm
If you get between someone I love and me
Am
You’re gonna get be the heat of my cavalry
DmAm
All these songs I’m hearing are so heartless
Em
Don’t trust a perfect person and don’t trust a song that’s flawless
[Interlude]
AmGDmF
Don’t trust a perfect person and don’t trust a song that’s flawless
AmGDmF
Don’t trust a perfect person and don’t trust a song that’s flawless
[Verse 3]
AmG
Honest, there’s a few songs on this record that feel common
DmF
I’m in constant confrontation with what I want and what is poppin'
AmGDm
In the industry it seems to me that singles on the radio are currency
F
My creativity’s on the free when I’m playing shows
[Chorus]
AmGDm
They say stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
F
But we go where we want to
AmGDm
They think this thing is a highway, highway
F N.C.
But will they be alive tomorrow?
[Interlude]

Will they be alive tomorrow?
| AmG | DmF |
[Chorus]
AmGDm
They say stay in your lane, boy, lane, boy
F
But we go where we want to

They think this thing is a highway,
[Bridge]
Am
The bells and the whistles scaled back
F
Like an isolated track
Am
And he feels trapped when he's not inebriated
G
Fair to say he's fairly sedated most days of the week
N.C.
He might have made it if he lived on a different street
DmAm
I repeat, scaled back and isolated
DmAm
He says he likes an open schedule, but he mostly hates it
DmAm
If you're running to his room, take a breath before you break-in
G
Put your ear up to the door, tell me can you hear him saying?
