Gm F
I came from nothing but not nothing like "nothing"
Gm F
"Nothing", like "nobody thought I was something"...
Gm F
"Nothing", like "called every name in the book",
Eb
But for every second guess
F
I never gave a second look
Gm
Look, I fell myself
F
"Don't let it get to me.
Gm F
cuz if the best the got is not impressing me,
Gm F
then there's no reason they should get the best of me,
Eb
While they were aiming at my words
F
They missed the rest of me
Eb F Gm
How can I stop all these critics from their talking
Eb F Gm
the more I do, the more they say
Eb F
But there's no way I'm stopping
Gm
so they just keep on talking
Eb F Gm
Who do you think I think I am?
Gm F
I got the felling that there's more like me
Gm F
Born in Babylon but you just got to be free
Gm F
Shackles on your feet that you and me can't see,
Eb
but you can feel them and they're heavy,
F
so you need that key
Gm F
and now you're looking at your hand, saying
Gm F
"Man, if I ditch the system, these could be mine"
Gm F
but then you hear a voice come up from behind,
Eb F
"Don't even think about stepping out of line..."
solo
Gm F
My friends are deep and they're all I got,
Gm F
and they stand up behind me if you like it or not
Gm F
and I'm telling you that the Fire's Hot,
Eb
did you see that smoke
F
and did you hear that shot...
Gm F
Cuz it's a war and in the middle I am
Gm F
So judge now with your pen in hand
Gm F
Cuz I'm too busy to judge another man,
Eb
I'm trying to write the blueprint
F
for all the world to understand
Chorus x2
this part of the song is sang whit the Chorus.
The want stop talk, and I regret me giving you any little voice at all
But saving this world just come with a cost...
"... maybe they were right from the start..."
Maybe I should be myself, cuz I'm just giving
these critics help..."
And it makes me twist my stomach in half,
that my pen and his pen are put into the same breath.
If I never tried to do this at all,
Then I think he'd be out of a jov.
"... and maybe I just should've stayed in bed,
stay out of the booth and put all these guitars in the closet..."
"... maybe I should go back to school,
buy any more education just make me feel like a
fool..."
so I guess I Goot let critics talk, cuz I WONT
STOP!.
