[Intro]

Am Fmaj7 x3

[Verse 1]
Am
Running, I'm always out of breath
Fmaj7
buckles when I get shit off my chest
     Am
Down Down, I know what it feels like to be
Fmaj7
down, down, down, I know what it feels like to be
Am
On the East side,
Fmaj7
settled in the smog I'm feelin' pretty
Am
foggy 'bout my feelings, 'bout myself

[Chorus]
Fmaj7
Black and free, I don't think that's a thing, no, no
Am     Fmaj7
No no, No no I don't think that's a thing, no, no
Am     Fmaj7
No, no, no, no, I don't think that's a thing, no, no
Am
No, no, no, no, no
Fmaj7
No, no, no, no
Am
No, no, I don't think that's a thing, no, no
Fmaj7
No, no


[Verse 2]
Am                  Fmaj7
Sexualise, fantasise
Fmaj7                   Am
Do you find it pleasing?
Am
Pullin' on my hair, no, no
Fmaj7
No, no, grippin' on my skin, no,
   Am
I don't No, I don't, playin' with your pride,
       Fmaj7
no, I don't (No, I don't) my life is not a game,
        Am
no, I don't No, I don't
Fmaj7
No, no, I don't think that's a thing, no, no
Am
No, no, no, no
Fmaj7
No, no, no, no
Am
No, no, no, no
Fmaj7
No, no  (Ghetts) "Yeah"

[Verse 2]
Am
Another Black man lost, worried about what a handbag cost
Fmaj7
Well, it cost to be Black
Fmaj7
I got a price on my head, that's not any cap
Am
F-Feds are behind, I feel like I'm wanted, dead or alive
Fmaj7
Even after what I have accomplished, nobody said they'll bе kind
                            Am
Look at my skin, I'm fully akin
Am
Tell me why you wanna pull within
                    Fmaj7
Number onе suspect 'cause of my colour
Fmaj7
If I was another, couldn't be him
            Am
I got the melanin, melanin, melanin
Am
Feds see me and get a rush of adrenaline
Fmaj7
What have I got on me? Haven't got anything
Fmaj7
Dad told me from day one, "Just don't let 'em in"

[Verse 3]
Am                     Fmaj7
The sun must still lose
Fmaj7                       Am Fmaj7
There's nothing to play with
Fmaj7
Will you try to understand this?
Am
Fast, slow down, gotta catch my breath
                            Fmaj7
Gotta make sure that I make it
Fmaj7
She'd tell me that I'm fakin'
Am
She's lyin', it's basic that bitch right there is basic
Fmaj7
My now everyone's that's racy,
Am                                   Fmaj7
I think you find that phrase is dated
Fmaj7                                                       Am
You're testin' on my patience, You're testin' on my patience
Am                              Fmaj7
The way that shit, it weighs me down

[Chorus]

Fmaj7
Black and free, I don't think that's a thing, no, no
Am     Fmaj7
No no, No no I don't think that's a thing, no, no
Am     Fmaj7
No, no, no, no, I don't think that's a thing, no, no
Am
No, no, no, no, no
Fmaj7
No, no, no, no
Am
No, no, I don't think that's a thing, no, no
Fmaj7
No, no

[Outro]
