the money tree
track 3
A
i’m standin’ on an open world
C#m
i’ve gotta try so hard for myself
E
not including the ones that i love
D
i call my family
it’s not hard when your focus is a beautiful girl
a brand new baby , she’s a baby girl
and yes she is a cutie like her mommy
she looks like her mommy
we both know who we are
and i’m not changing a thing ,
i’ve never changed before
if lovin’ me is work , i’m not a job to take
i think we’re headin’ for the crazy – making heartbreak
i’m wonderin’ why i’m sittin’ here , alone again
why you always crush me ,
why it’s never easy
easy , easy , easy , it’s not easy
this is you , this is me ,
you won’t be a part of what we need to be
not for me , for the future of us three
for our daughter college , family , sudden – health emergencies
you think it’s easy pickin’ money off my money tree?
with two houses , both cars ,
i paid off your fxxking credit card debt ,
did you already forget? huh?
you threaten , threaten , threaten , threaten , threaten , huh
just fxxking leave ,
find a man who will put up with this
we both know who we are
and i’m not changing a thing ,
i’ve never changed before
if lovin’ me is work , i’m not a job to take
i think we’re headin’ for the crazy – making heartbreak
i can’t help but think
of how good you are with our baby daughter
half the time a single mother
when i go away it’s so that you can always stay home
and watch your baby grow , bring her up the right way
you never take it that way
we both know who we are
and i’m not changing –
i need support , not a slap in the face
you have to trust me or i’m sure this will blow up in your face
our love was such an angel , she doesn’t even know
we’ve torn each other down in ways we don’t even know
we both know who we are
and i’m not changing a thing ,
i’ve never changed before
if lovin’ me is work , i’m not a job to take
i think we’re headin’ for the crazy – making heartbreak
i can’t help but think
of how good you are with our baby daughter
half the time a single mother
when i go away it’s so that you can always stay home
and watch your baby grow , bring her up the right way
it’s me the one who has his family’s future at heart
it’s you the one who never wants a family apart
we both know that together we can only believe
that if we cut the shit there’d be no reason to leave

Em
no joke took a breath and then awoke
G
i was standing in an airport looking like a joke
Am
saying “sir , can you help me? ma’am could you please?”
Am
so they led me to the pay phone . flaggin’ down the police .
“mr . officer i know who i Am . but the rest of me ,
my memory , i just don’t understand .
i do know that i’m unsafe , man with a plan of gettin’ on a plane .
fly away to kill a man . ”
like a freight train threat to myself .
i gotta history of blackouts , bad mental health so
both cops each arm alarm . no harm disarm pat down do the body check .
next thing i was walking on the airfield .
back seat i was headed to the hospital .
im sorry for the drama that i bring . through the screen he said
“son you did the right thing . ” Em G Am Am
Em
please help me understand .
C
why you can’t talk man to man .
Am
but you can stand with your dick in your hand .
Am
why you acting like a pussy , man?
please help me understand why you can’t talk man to man .
but you can stand with your dick in your hand .
you acting like a pussy , man .
i was faithful to the wifey now we separated .
used to try to win her back i underestimated .
like a stone sinks down into the complicated fact .
that you gave that ass up and never fxxking dated .
see you’re better than that .
you’re a diamond he’s a rough real tough , man .
call a brother back . just a pussy with a dick .
stand up and be a fxxking man . hiding from the husband .
scared to make a peep and livin’ up in lincoln .
now i’m in the deep end .
think i’m gonna break in smash your fxxking face in .
cut you up with lemon juice and watch you try to fxxk then .
chorus
is that beat up . . . is that beat up yet?
( please help me understand )
( why can’t talk man to man )
is that beat up . . . is that beat up yet?
i wish that i were man enough to turn my back and leave .
to forget all the tricks you pull and hide them in my sleeve .
i know what’s best for table play , i know what’s best for me .
i know this life is way too short , to let you kill a dream .
i know you’re capable to only love me when im there .
i know it’s hell to keep the peace inside your heart and head .
but i’m always gone and what you’re left with is my song .
you’re sick of listening to anything turn me off instead .
you used to call me cool , believed in what i’d say .
never seen me as a failure or a mother fxxking fake .
but over time we changed into this little ball of hate .
we shared a bedroom but the bedroom had a bed we never made so .
i’m done with holding this in . i’m done with being a friend .
i’d like it all to just end like brand new ink on a pen .
no one can stop me . try to stop me . . . just try to stop me . . .

Am
i only note spending time away
Dm
i only note the truth is spoken
G
best when brutally so honestly .
i’ll let you know you set the standards lyrically for me .
C
one single middle finger
Am
say raise it up
Dm
my speech will always be free like martin luther king .
you had meaning to me .
single – handedly saving music starving industry .
a hip hop legend with skin like invisible ink .
black even though he was whiter than me .
he was the first to be colorless . speaking for all of us .
then you let us into your family : mother father brother sister wife daughter .
damn right in front of me .
that’s when i miss my daughter desperately .
your mockingbird puts dents in me .
while touring press and reliving my song hate me , i was losing custody .
i never even saw that shit . how she played me and planned and sought it fit
to turn that trick and financially she would benefit .
my first and probably only billboard hit was gonna pay for my two year old’s college .
i should have hid that shit so she couldn’t spend that shit .
it took twenty years of working just to earn that shit .
now word for word i’ve listened and heard and i’m done . done .
[ chorus ]
Am
like you don’t know .
Dm
you act like you believe it .
G
that you’re in control . it’s just your legal system though .
Am
they don’t think about you
Dm
no they don’t care about you .
G
now every man in america take back your control
Am
like you don’t know .
Dm
you act like you believe it .
G
that you’re in control .
it’s just your legal system though
C
they don’t think about it
Am
no , they don’t care about it
Am
now every man in america take back your control .
so i kept my business quiet
just like my lawyer said .
and i tried to focus all
my anger in my work instead .
i was succeeding at self reliant
but inside my soul is dead .
i had to be the sole provider
but not allowed to be the dad .
literally they took her from me .
legally they did! they did!
but i’m not a fxxking book
so fxxk your book in lincoln i said
fxxk the judge . fxxk that county
fxxk your family too .
yeah fxxk everybody that took my baby girl , blue
Dm
i’m way too strong . i work my ass off all day long .
Am
and i’m gone for months at a time and you keep sitting there and lying .
bitching “come back home . ” i hate you , hate you god .
and then you came back home and filed for another fxxking divorce .
i’m sick of crying i’m sick of you instead
i’m not sick , or stuck in my head .
Am C G E
any other man in america can get screwed just like me .
[ chorus ]
you won’t understand , probably never will .
listen slowly i’ll let you know the deal
lying ass play the judge with your crying ass
you had your nose wide open when you saw the cash .
grimy bitch growing tired of you trying shit .
women run the courts , men provide the chips .
well eat up bitch until you had enough bitch .
but take my kids; you can kiss both my nuts bitch .
Dm
telling lies cause Daddy’s always on the road .
G
but you the one fxxking like a groupie at a show .
C
money hungry so you try to take my youngest from me .
Am
you a dummy honey i’ll chase you across the country .
bring the drama to you mama and you mama’s mama
cause we all know you chasing after commas .
couple checks few houses and gucci blouses
you changing dicks like you changing outfits .
E
constitution now a day’s got the Daddies losing .
lot of fathers getting fxxked like prostitution

when they brought me home .
Bm
so who does this separation work for?
so which one of us will wage war?

and did you really think i’d take it ,
when information fabricated .
look i give you credit for pathetically thinking that
you could hurt this up .
watch this . she turns on my face ,
a sage little house invading your space .
helpless , you know that i’m away .
my truck sitting in a hotel crazy .
i’m fine on the phone .

C# D
then load each one and fire right over my head .
i need a finish line , this pressures too high .
yeah i should have seen the end was coming , sooner than they ever did
reach down to the pit of my soul .
i found things that i didn’t wanna know with her ,
i guess the wait is over .
how do you call
what we have love when you don’t even notice ,
the look upon my face ,
yeah i’ve done this before ,
you’ll be sorrier when i’m gone .
yeah you waited too long .

the honesty
track 10
verse 1 :
Dm
let’s get it straight
Am
let’s get it straight from the top
G
you’re beginning with the usual main ingredient
you’re good at when you’re talking when you say it
Am
are you meaning it?
Dm
don’t wanna give you my heart if you’re not completing it
Am
i’m blown away at how your family , your friends ,
G
just accept it though , no one’s ever told you no
can’t expect you to know how to love
Am
when it was something you were never taught
chorus :
F G Am
but honesty is the one true way to start again
F G Am
just be good to yourself and love those unspoken instead of always broken
F G Am
but honestly when you’re heart decides to let someone in
F G Am
just be cautious of the next one
verse 2 :
you win , i never wanted to play what was meant to screw me up
but i see you’re in to playing it makes me feel sorry for the way you like
displaying it
and how the truth has really told you are betraying it
i gotta say , i don’t think i ever felt you hold us up ,
were you embarrassed by me?
now that’s something i’m gonna have to pay for
chorus :
but honestly should have been the one true way to start again
just be straight with yourself and love goes unspoken
instead of always broken
but honestly if your heart decides to feel again
just be careful of the next one
bridge :
how completely let down
how completely let down i felt
i’m completely in awe
now i can’t see at all
now i can see it all
chorus :
but honesty could have been the one true way to love again
just be straight with yourself and love goes unspoken
instead of always broken
but honestly if your heart decides to love again
just be thankful for the next one
outro : ( same as chorus )
gonna see it all . . . gonna see it
can’t wait , can’t wait
gonna keep it up , gonna keep it up
can’t wait , can’t wait
gonna see it all , gonna see it all
can’t wait , can’t wait ,
gonna keep it up

track 3
A
i’m standin’ on an open world
C#m
i’ve gotta try so hard for myself
E
not including the ones that i love
D
i call my family
it’s not hard when your focus is a beautiful girl
a brand new baby , she’s a baby girl
and yes she is a cutie like her mommy
she looks like her mommy
we both know who we are
and i’m not changing a thing ,
i’ve never changed before
if lovin’ me is work , i’m not a job to take
i think we’re headin’ for the crazy – making heartbreak
i’m wonderin’ why i’m sittin’ here , alone again
why you always crush me ,
why it’s never easy
easy , easy , easy , it’s not easy
this is you , this is me ,
you won’t be a part of what we need to be
not for me , for the future of us three
for our daughter college , family , sudden – health emergencies
you think it’s easy pickin’ money off my money tree?
with two houses , both cars ,
i paid off your fxxking credit card debt ,
did you already forget? huh?
you threaten , threaten , threaten , threaten , threaten , huh
just fxxking leave ,
find a man who will put up with this
we both know who we are
and i’m not changing a thing ,
i’ve never changed before
if lovin’ me is work , i’m not a job to take
i think we’re headin’ for the crazy – making heartbreak
i can’t help but think
of how good you are with our baby daughter
half the time a single mother
when i go away it’s so that you can always stay home
and watch your baby grow , bring her up the right way
you never take it that way
we both know who we are
and i’m not changing –
i need support , not a slap in the face
you have to trust me or i’m sure this will blow up in your face
our love was such an angel , she doesn’t even know
we’ve torn each other down in ways we don’t even know
we both know who we are
and i’m not changing a thing ,
i’ve never changed before
if lovin’ me is work , i’m not a job to take
i think we’re headin’ for the crazy – making heartbreak
i can’t help but think
of how good you are with our baby daughter
half the time a single mother
when i go away it’s so that you can always stay home
and watch your baby grow , bring her up the right way
it’s me the one who has his family’s future at heart
it’s you the one who never wants a family apart
we both know that together we can only believe
that if we cut the shit there’d be no reason to leave

Em
no joke took a breath and then awoke
G
i was standing in an airport looking like a joke
Am
saying “sir , can you help me? ma’am could you please?”
Am
so they led me to the pay phone . flaggin’ down the police .
“mr . officer i know who i Am . but the rest of me ,
my memory , i just don’t understand .
i do know that i’m unsafe , man with a plan of gettin’ on a plane .
fly away to kill a man . ”
like a freight train threat to myself .
i gotta history of blackouts , bad mental health so
both cops each arm alarm . no harm disarm pat down do the body check .
next thing i was walking on the airfield .
back seat i was headed to the hospital .
im sorry for the drama that i bring . through the screen he said
“son you did the right thing . ” Em G Am Am
Em
please help me understand .
C
why you can’t talk man to man .
Am
but you can stand with your dick in your hand .
Am
why you acting like a pussy , man?
please help me understand why you can’t talk man to man .
but you can stand with your dick in your hand .
you acting like a pussy , man .
i was faithful to the wifey now we separated .
used to try to win her back i underestimated .
like a stone sinks down into the complicated fact .
that you gave that ass up and never fxxking dated .
see you’re better than that .
you’re a diamond he’s a rough real tough , man .
call a brother back . just a pussy with a dick .
stand up and be a fxxking man . hiding from the husband .
scared to make a peep and livin’ up in lincoln .
now i’m in the deep end .
think i’m gonna break in smash your fxxking face in .
cut you up with lemon juice and watch you try to fxxk then .
chorus
is that beat up . . . is that beat up yet?
( please help me understand )
( why can’t talk man to man )
is that beat up . . . is that beat up yet?
i wish that i were man enough to turn my back and leave .
to forget all the tricks you pull and hide them in my sleeve .
i know what’s best for table play , i know what’s best for me .
i know this life is way too short , to let you kill a dream .
i know you’re capable to only love me when im there .
i know it’s hell to keep the peace inside your heart and head .
but i’m always gone and what you’re left with is my song .
you’re sick of listening to anything turn me off instead .
you used to call me cool , believed in what i’d say .
never seen me as a failure or a mother fxxking fake .
but over time we changed into this little ball of hate .
we shared a bedroom but the bedroom had a bed we never made so .
i’m done with holding this in . i’m done with being a friend .
i’d like it all to just end like brand new ink on a pen .
no one can stop me . try to stop me . . . just try to stop me . . .

Am
i only note spending time away
Dm
i only note the truth is spoken
G
best when brutally so honestly .
i’ll let you know you set the standards lyrically for me .
C
one single middle finger
Am
say raise it up
Dm
my speech will always be free like martin luther king .
you had meaning to me .
single – handedly saving music starving industry .
a hip hop legend with skin like invisible ink .
black even though he was whiter than me .
he was the first to be colorless . speaking for all of us .
then you let us into your family : mother father brother sister wife daughter .
damn right in front of me .
that’s when i miss my daughter desperately .
your mockingbird puts dents in me .
while touring press and reliving my song hate me , i was losing custody .
i never even saw that shit . how she played me and planned and sought it fit
to turn that trick and financially she would benefit .
my first and probably only billboard hit was gonna pay for my two year old’s college .
i should have hid that shit so she couldn’t spend that shit .
it took twenty years of working just to earn that shit .
now word for word i’ve listened and heard and i’m done . done .
[ chorus ]
Am
like you don’t know .
Dm
you act like you believe it .
G
that you’re in control . it’s just your legal system though .
Am
they don’t think about you
Dm
no they don’t care about you .
G
now every man in america take back your control
Am
like you don’t know .
Dm
you act like you believe it .
G
that you’re in control .
it’s just your legal system though
C
they don’t think about it
Am
no , they don’t care about it
Am
now every man in america take back your control .
so i kept my business quiet
just like my lawyer said .
and i tried to focus all
my anger in my work instead .
i was succeeding at self reliant
but inside my soul is dead .
i had to be the sole provider
but not allowed to be the dad .
literally they took her from me .
legally they did! they did!
but i’m not a fxxking book
so fxxk your book in lincoln i said
fxxk the judge . fxxk that county
fxxk your family too .
yeah fxxk everybody that took my baby girl , blue
Dm
i’m way too strong . i work my ass off all day long .
Am
and i’m gone for months at a time and you keep sitting there and lying .
bitching “come back home . ” i hate you , hate you god .
and then you came back home and filed for another fxxking divorce .
i’m sick of crying i’m sick of you instead
i’m not sick , or stuck in my head .
Am C G E
any other man in america can get screwed just like me .
[ chorus ]
you won’t understand , probably never will .
listen slowly i’ll let you know the deal
lying ass play the judge with your crying ass
you had your nose wide open when you saw the cash .
grimy bitch growing tired of you trying shit .
women run the courts , men provide the chips .
well eat up bitch until you had enough bitch .
but take my kids; you can kiss both my nuts bitch .
Dm
telling lies cause Daddy’s always on the road .
G
but you the one fxxking like a groupie at a show .
C
money hungry so you try to take my youngest from me .
Am
you a dummy honey i’ll chase you across the country .
bring the drama to you mama and you mama’s mama
cause we all know you chasing after commas .
couple checks few houses and gucci blouses
you changing dicks like you changing outfits .
E

lot of fathers getting fxxked like prostitution

when they brought me home .
Bm
so who does this separation work for?
so which one of us will wage war?
A

A
the look upon my face ,
E
yeah i’ve done this before ,
E
you’ll be sorrier when i’m gone .
D
yeah you waited too long .
and did you really think i’d take it ,
when information fabricated .
look i give you credit for pathetically thinking that
you could hurt this up .
watch this . she turns on my face ,
a sage little house invading your space .
helpless , you know that i’m away .
my truck sitting in a hotel crazy .
i’m fine on the phone .
freaking like it’s telling me there’s something wrong ,
or right you don’t i need to know .
how do you call
what we have love when you don’t even notice ,

A
my capgun and the pistol ,
Bm
you fill your clip with lies .
C# D
then load each one and fire right over my head .
i need a finish line , this pressures too high .
yeah i should have seen the end was coming , sooner than they ever did
reach down to the pit of my soul .
i found things that i didn’t wanna know with her ,
i guess the wait is over .
how do you call
what we have love when you don’t even notice ,
the look upon my face ,

the honesty
track 10
verse 1 :
Dm
let’s get it straight
Am
let’s get it straight from the top
G
you’re beginning with the usual main ingredient
you’re good at when you’re talking when you say it
Am
are you meaning it?
Dm
don’t wanna give you my heart if you’re not completing it
Am
i’m blown away at how your family , your friends ,
G
just accept it though , no one’s ever told you no
can’t expect you to know how to love
Am
when it was something you were never taught
chorus :
F G Am
but honesty is the one true way to start again
F G Am
just be good to yourself and love those unspoken instead of always broken
F G Am
but honestly when you’re heart decides to let someone in
F G Am
just be cautious of the next one
verse 2 :
you win , i never wanted to play what was meant to screw me up
but i see you’re in to playing it makes me feel sorry for the way you like
displaying it
and how the truth has really told you are betraying it
i gotta say , i don’t think i ever felt you hold us up ,
were you embarrassed by me?
now that’s something i’m gonna have to pay for
chorus :
but honestly should have been the one true way to start again
just be straight with yourself and love goes unspoken
instead of always broken
but honestly if your heart decides to feel again
just be careful of the next one
bridge :
how completely let down
how completely let down i felt
i’m completely in awe
now i can’t see at all
now i can see it all
chorus :
but honesty could have been the one true way to love again
just be straight with yourself and love goes unspoken
instead of always broken
but honestly if your heart decides to love again
just be thankful for the next one
outro : ( same as chorus )
gonna see it all . . . gonna see it
can’t wait , can’t wait
gonna keep it up , gonna keep it up
can’t wait , can’t wait
gonna see it all , gonna see it all
can’t wait , can’t wait ,
gonna keep it up

i’m tired of waiting
you don’t get the point
and you don’t get control
and we both have a chance
if you just let go

capo 3
E B C#m A
i’m tired , twisted , barely breathing , buried in the dark
E B C#m A
don’t be concerned , it’s just the power of a breaking heart .
how good Am i hiding it?
E
look , i’ve got some bad intentions .
B
guilty as fxxking charged .
C#m A
still standing stable , more than able ’cause i know who you are .
E B C#m
i know the birthdays , anniversaries , all the first days i missed .
A
i regret them all .
but now i know this :
A B
i know that god exists .
E
i held her in my arms .
C#m
i never knew i was able to ever feel this strong .
A
take me off your worry list .
B
it’ll be better that way .
E C#m
i’m really fine and there’s nothing we haven’t talked about .
A B
so , take me off your worry list i said , “throw it away . ”
E
this is what my life is about .
i might have been gone but i never walked out .
i’ve taken a thousand red eyes to change your point of view .
what kind of man would take the trust you break and still follow through?
’cause i’m standin’ right here .
and you may not show up .
this same gate 14 where , honestly , i’m just sick of calling your bluff .
and it’s just embarrassing , that i nearly threw up
and i’m trying hard to change the things i always screw up .
and at the top of my list , this visitation’s no relationship .
but i gotta make the best of it .
’cause i know –
i know that god exists .
i held her in my arms .
i never knew i was able to ever feel this strong .
take me off your worry list .
it’ll be better that way .
and i’m doin’ fine and i’ve got plenty of friends around .
take me off your worry list .
just throw it away .
well , it’s time to stand up on my own for her .
’cause i’m packing it up , and i’m comin’ today .
E
i couldn’t wait to finally pick my family up .
B
everything is quiet and covered in snow .
C#m
there’s something wrong here . . .
A
nobody’s at home .
oh , no , no , no , no , no .
A B
now , i’m back in the driver’s seat .
E
heading back home .
C#m
yeah , back to texas on my own .
take me off your worry list .
it’ll be better that way .
and i’m doin’ fine and i’ve got plenty of friends around .
take me off your worry list .
just throw it away .
yeah , it’s time to stand up on my own for her .
i’m packing it up , and i’m comin’ today .
this is what my story’s about .
i might have been gone but i never walked out .
i’m packin’ it up , and i’m comin’ today .
E ( end on E – throw a quick a in there and back to E and end it like this )
this is what your story’s about .
my pretty little girl , can you figure it out?
if it helps to know so there is no doubt ,
just listen to the stories .
not everything is glorious .
some hurt , some love , some shout .
i fought the world and i lost that bout .
and you are what my album’s about .
i might have been gone , but i never walked out .
