[Verse 1]
Am7                       F               Dm7
I know you feelin' down 'bout they treat you
Am7                 F                       Dm7
Nobody understands all that you been through
Am7                         F       Dm7
And you just wanna get low, way so low
         Am7       F             Dm7
Sort of visualize being in your shoes
Am7           F                   Dm7
You ain't in touch with your baby father
Am7            F            Dm7
You only know that it gets harder
Am7                    F                      Dm7
You said it wasn't in love, but wasn't on his job
    Am7                     F               Dm7
You got your whole paycheck to say you keep cool

I don't wanna keep you down (Don't wanna keep you down)
                        Am7   F     Dm7
A nigga wanna raise you up (Wanna raise you up)
                           Am7   F         Dm7
And someone gotta take you out (Gotta take you out)
