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                 F#
He who stands for freedom
    F                  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         F#        F         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

Solo

Verse 3
"Why must I feel like that"
Bb
Running from a gun
         F
And some brain that ways a ton
            Gm                       Eb
You know, I did that line for Flava' Flave
     Bb
But, all the D.J.'s do it
F
All the D.J.'s use it
        N.C.
I would run, I would switch
    Bb
But I wanna be the same
      Bb
And I know I'll find a reason
         F
'Cause I always bust a rhyme
           Gm                     Eb
Because it takes up nearly all my time
     F                  F#
The "T" hear stands for treason
     F                  F#
The "D" hear stands for dove
    Bb           C#
And maybe I just use too,
    Bb           C#
And maybe I just use too,
Bb             C#       Bb
Maybe I'm just used too much.
