From: Justin Bortnicker
Intro (drums 'n bass)
I heard that payback's a mother fuckin' bitch
But I won't stress and I won't switch
And I would not take my life
Glory please, my God, the only thing on my mind
Takes up all of my time,
And I said, ooh!
Verse 1 (starts on Bb)
Bb
Running from a gun
F
Or some brain that ways a ton
Gm Eb
And my God, it hurts to get so low
Bb
Searchin' through the cars
F
Cold, still searchin' through the night
N.C.
I think I will run, to you, but
Bb
I refuse to fuss and fight
Bb
And God may find a reason
F
Well I'm sure you'll find a rhyme
Gm Eb
Because it takes up nearly all my time
F(VIII) F#
He who stands for freedom
F(VIII) F#
God knows I've got the number
Bb C# Bb
But maybe I just use too much
Verse 2
Bb
I was sitting in that bar
F
I'm sittin' in that stolen car
Gm Eb
Cold, still rollin' down the boulevard
Bb
Saw you with a gleam
F
And the microphone scene
N.C.
'Think I will run, to you
Bb
But I know I won't live for me
Bb
Cause I know God's got both,
F
the reason and the rhyme
Gm Eb
Please tell me, why he takes up all my time
F(VIII) F# F(VIII) F#
I've been drinking, just like you
Bb C# Bb
And baby, you've got something I can use
Verse(drum 'n bass and you can slide up the guitar if you want)
Payback's a mother fuckin' blast
But I won't stress and I won't blast
And I would not take my life
Glory please, my God, comin' from heaven above
Takes up all of my time And I said
SoloVerse 3(Same progression as before)
"Why must I feel like that"
Running from a gun
And some brain that ways a ton
You know, I did that line for Flava' Flave
But, all the D.J.'s do it
All the D.J.'s use it
I would run, I would switch
But I wanna be the same
And I know I'll find a reason
'Cause I always bust a rhyme
Because it takes up nearly all my time
The "T" hear stands for treason
The "D" hear stands for dove
And maybe I just use too,
Maybe I'm just used too much.
