Verse 1
                           Em11
Two tears in the bucket, I cry with you
    Am7           Bm7         Cmaj9
But I could never lie with you
              Em11
I could never afford not to afford
                    Am7           Bm7         Cmaj9
I could never put my plans to the side with you
                             Am9
I could never see a red light
Like a deer with a headlight
        C6/D
I freeze up when I re-up
                   Em11
See, I barely have patience, and you're relating
 Am7      Bm7         Cmaj9
Only the moment to complete us
                     Em11    Am7        Bm7     Cmaj9
Why you hate to work for it? Went to work for it
                          Em11
See a nine to five was so jive turkey
                      Am7        Bm7     Cmaj9
But when Thanksgiving came, that check didn’t hurt me
                        Am9
You plead the fifth, I read the fifth amendment
            C6/D
We both criminals with bad intentions
               Em11
They say time heals all
                 N.C
But if I can shortcut my success, Corvettes by tomorrow
[Hook]
Em11        Am7        Bm7        Cmaj9
Why so sad? Walking around with them blue faces
Em11
She said I’m down on my luck
         Am7        Bm7        Cmaj9
And it’s something I gotta have, blue faces
          Am9                     C6/D
I hit the bank today and tell 'em color me bad, blue faces
Em11                         D5add6
Get that new money, and it’s breaking me down
Verse 2
        Cmaj9                  Gmaj9
My home girl got a credit card scam
          Amaj7/B                      C#m7/F#
She got a scholarship to college but she don’t give a damn
   Cmaj9                   Gmaj9
Intuition got a Black woman wishin'
            Amaj7/B                    C#m7/F#
She tell me this on the phone with the noodles in the pan
  Cmaj9                 Gmaj9
I know you, woman, I console you, woman
   Amaj7/B                   C#m7/F#
You feel like the universe owes you, woman
        Cmaj9          Gmaj9
Oh, the anticipation, hoping you could make it
 Amaj7/B                C#m7/F#
Women don't prosper, chasin' education
Cmaj9               Gmaj9
But you're talented, and can't handle it
Amaj7/B             C#m7/F#
And your homegirls can't be your manager
Cmaj9      Gmaj9
365 times four, plus more
Amaj7/B                      C#m7/F#
Can't get it right, tell me, do you got the stamina?
Cmaj9          Gmaj9
But ain't no money like fast money
Amaj7/B            C#m7/F#
Even today, I'm considered a crash dummy
  Cmaj9           Gmaj9                  Amaj7/B
A rapper chasing stardom, how can I fast forward
My accolades better than all them?
[Hook]
Am11        Em11
But why so sad?
Amaj7/B               C#m7/F#
Walking around with them blue faces
Am11          Em11
She said I’m down on my luck
         Amaj7/B            C#m7/F#
And it’s something I gotta have, blue faces
Am11        Em11                  Amaj7/B   C#m7/F#
I hit the bank today and tell 'em color me bad, blue faces
Am11         Em11           N.C.
Get that new money, and it’s breaking me down, to the top

       Am9
I love God, I love speed
       Amaj7/B
I love drank, I love mead
       Am9
I love oceans in the deep
       Amaj7/B
I love women, I love me
       Am9
I love God
Amaj7/B            Am9
But I’m scared of godspeed

Verse 3
   Cmaj9                  Gmaj9                Amaj7/B    C#m7/F#
I wrote this song looking at a broke home, maybe
            Cmaj9                 Gmaj9                Amaj7/B    C#m7/F#
You know the poverty stricken the little broke boy and babies
         Cmaj9            Gmaj9               Amaj7/B    C#m7/F#
Somebody say "Kendrick American, they sho’ is crazy"
            N.C
And I said “Why?”
Then he looked me in the eye, and said "Homie, you're messed up
       Cmaj9                  Gmaj9
You’re banking on good luck, you wishing for miracles
Amaj7/B                        C#m7/F#
Never been through shit, you’re crying hysterical
     Cmaj9                    Gmaj9
You settle for everything, complain about everything
     Amaj7/B              C#m7/F#
You say you sold crack, my world amphetamine
       Cmaj9
Your projects ain’t it, I live in a hut
     Amaj7/B                 C#m7/F#
I'm living to keep warm, I'm living to pay rent
   Cmaj9               Gmaj9
I paid my way through, praying to Allah
   Amaj7/B
You played your way through, dinner with wi-fi
Am9                                 D/E
Bullshitting yourself, you talking to strangers
Amaj7/B                  C#m7/F#
Same thing goes for the ones you came with
   Am9                              D/E
We all came on the boat looking for hope
    Amaj7/B                                  C#m7/F#
And all you can say is that you’re looking for dope
Am9
These days ain’t no compromise
Amaj7/B
Your pain ain’t mines half the time
  Am9
A brand new excuse ain’t nothing to me
       Amaj7/B
See, I made my moves, with shackled feet"
