Author Note: This song is a fantastic song it reminds me of the Rush of Blood to the Head Era with the
buildup and release, really amazing.
It is really powerful I feel it speaks a lot about screwed up legal systems and racism involved
around the world.
Once I have the time I'll tab the whole thing out however this is the simple version.
Also, the A#dim is an optional chord in the bridge. It acts as a transitional chord. Sounds good but optional
And imo the brige sounds the best when you triple pick the bottom 3 and 4 strings only for the A#m, A#dim and D#7
Enjoy!

Don't come back with the "What is it?" fucking shit

I don't talk to nobody in the streets, I don't hang with nobody
Well, then don't come to fucking Philadelphia, stay in Jersey
A#m
I have family out here
Everybody thinks they're a fucking lawyer and they don't know jackshit
Are you supposed to grab me like this?
D#
Grab you up? I'll grab you any way I got to
Cm
You're not protecting me while I'm trying, while I'm trying to go to work
Why don't you shut up?
