Verse 1
A E
On Doomsday, ever since the womb ’til I’m back where my brother went, that’s what my tomb says
A E
Right above my government, Dumile, either unmarked or engraved, hey, who’s to say?
A E
I spent the time from my own, niner to four, maybe more, writin’ rhymes hardcore
A E
On tour, sure, but what is a tour without the raw sore? The hardcore
A E
Metal four, five, tour, but what is a tour? The tour without the raw sore?
A E
The hardcore, metal four, five, tour, but what is a tour? The tour without the raw sore?
A E
The hardcore, metal four, five, tour, but what is a tour? The tour without the raw sore?
Chorus
A
I used to cop a lot, but never copped no drop
E
Hold mics like pony tails, tight, and bob a lot
A
Stopped by a fellow vet, thought I was a poppy seed
E
Told him, “Nevermind, the Meth, come and follow me”
A
Instead of swallowin’ the key, he forced it
E
And I told him, “Ha, after this, you’ll be honored”
A E
Then I squeezed, “Sorry, G, I forgot I was in a journey”
A E
But you can still get burned, walkin’ on the sunshine
A E
Y’all, watch the soundmine
Verse 2
A E
On Doomsday, wrote this in the BK probably on the train
A E
Slave, not a chain, but a sort of a shine, like a pain
A E
In your chest, you can feel it like a stitch
A E
It’s just a time, you can feel it like a stitch
A E
It’s just a time, you can feel it like a stitch
A E
It’s just a time, you can feel it like a stitch
A E
It’s just a time, you can feel it like a stitch
A E
It’s just a time, you can feel it like a stitch
Chorus
A
I used to cop a lot, but never copped no drop

Verse 3
A E
On Doomsday, ever since the womb ’til I’m back where my brother went, that’s what my tomb says
A E
Right above my government, Dumile, either unmarked or engraved, hey, who’s to say?
A E
I spent the time from my own, niner to four, maybe more, writin’ rhymes hardcore
A E
On tour, sure, but what is a tour without the raw sore? The hardcore
A E
Metal four, five, tour, but what is a tour? The tour without the raw sore?
A E
The hardcore, metal four, five, tour, but what is a tour? The tour without the raw sore?
A E
The hardcore, metal four, five, tour, but what is a tour? The tour without the raw sore?
Chorus
A
I used to cop a lot, but never copped no drop
E
Hold mics like pony tails, tight, and bob a lot
A
Stopped by a fellow vet, thought I was a poppy seed
E
Told him, “Nevermind, the Meth, come and follow me”
A
Instead of swallowin’ the key, he forced it
E
And I told him, “Ha, after this, you’ll be honored”
A E
Then I squeezed, “Sorry, G, I forgot I was in a journey”
A E
But you can still get burned, walkin’ on the sunshine
A E
Y’all, watch the soundmine
Practice tip: Focus on the simple two-chord (A and E) progression and let the rhythm carry the flow of the lyrics.
