Believe

[Chorus]
         Am  C         Dm           Am         Am  C     Dm  Am
You know I---- still believe, still believe in you-- and me
       Am   C               Dm           Am
'Cause every night I go to sleep, go to sleep
      Am            C           Dm     Am
I can see it like a movie in my dreams
        Am              C
Put my face in the dirt on the ground

        Dm               Am
Still I race off to take back the crown, yes
Am            C
You can break my body
    Dm                 Am
But you can't lock the soul of a man down
 
[Verse 1]
Am           C
 Follow your dreams not your addictions
Dm                  Am
 How we gon' follow our dreams locked in a prison?
Am                     C
 They tried to swollow me whole, God be my witness
Dm                   Am
 Deprive me outta my dreams but I'm relentless
Am                C
 I'm with the money ain't never want attention
Dm                      Am
 So I don't pay attention to comments and all the mentions
Am
'Cause they ain't see my vision
C                             Dm
I was washin' dishes, turn my rags into riches
N.C.
Glad when it was Christmas
Am                    C
 We ain't even barely at your presence but we was gifted
Dm                       Am
 In a school of failure, we present, perfect attendence
Am              C
 Welfare, baby, we workin' with what they give us
Dm                    Am
 Made me some commas, judge still gave me a sentence
   Am                             C
No period, city girls don't get scared
                                 Dm
When this really real, when your bank account
                     Am                            Am
Twenty mill' on your house up on the hill and your fam

                          C
And the driveway you walk out
                               Dm
And see the grill thing, thank God
       Dm
You believe, make sure you pray when you kneel, yeah
 
[Chorus]
         Am  C         Dm           Am         Am  C     Dm  Am
You know I---- still believe, still believe in you-- and me
       Am   C               Dm           Am
'Cause every night I go to sleep, go to sleep
      Am            C           Dm     Am
I can see it like a movie in my dreams
        Am              C
Put my face in the dirt on the ground
        Dm               Am
Still I race off to take back the crown, yes
Am            C
You can break my body
    Dm                 Am
But you can't lock the soul of a man down

[Verse 2]
 
Yeah, uh
Am                      C
My bank account, it was on super-zero
      Dm                       N.C.
Ain't never panic, I'm a superhero, uh
Am                   C
 Target my goals and I'ma shoot the arrow
     Dm                               Am
When God turned the heat up on me, he said "You Di Nero"
          Am             C
Play your part, got some brains like the scarecrow
               Dm                    Am
Let's play it smart, 'cause we ain't playin' checkers
                         Am
This is chess, play your pawns
    C                                           Dm
Sit back like a king, when they move, make your mark
          Am                                  Am
And never ever let your competition take your heart (Take your heart)
    C
Say I believe in myself
     Dm                              Am
When everybody stop believin', never leave on yourself
            Am                       C
They had my back against the wall, I had to lean on myself

       Dm                           Am
Almost made me put my dreams on the shelf, I'm trippin' (I'm trippin')
Am        C
 The laws of attraction, you just think I'm rappin'
Dm                Am
 I'm just puttin' out the energy so I can grab it
Am                 C
 Everything that's in my memory that I imagined
Dm              Am
 It's finally here, hundred million in a year
 
[Chorus]
         Am  C         Dm           Am         Am  C     Dm  Am
You know I---- still believe, still believe in you-- and me
       Am   C               Dm           Am
'Cause every night I go to sleep, go to sleep
      Am            C           Dm     Am
I can see it like a movie in my dreams
        Am              C
Put my face in the dirt on the ground
        Dm               Am
Still I race off to take back the crown, yes
Am            C
You can break my body
    Dm                 Am
But you can't lock the soul of a man down
