[Verse 1]
D Bm
Growing up I used to wanna be my Uncle Wayne
G F# D
Until I saw his body layin’ in the grave (Rest in peace)
Bm G
Growing up I used to want a Jeep Wrangler (Haha)
F#
Until I got to drive a Range
D Bm
Growing up I used to have a lot of friends
G F#
Until I saw the money change ‘em
D Bm
Growing up I used to want a lot of hoes
G F# D
Until I met Ben Franklin
Bm
I’m writin’ this from a place that you ain’t heard about
G F#
That you could only comment through the word of mouth
D Bm
Growing up, I used to tell my ma, “I’ll work it out”
G F#
I worked it out but now still somehow shit ain’t working out
D Bm
Growing up, I watched my favorite rappers interviews
G F#
I ain’t believe ‘em when they said, “It ain’t all what it seems”
D Bm
But now I’m here, realized they were tellin’ truth
G F# D
‘Cause you sacrificed yourself for everybody’s needs, by any means
Bm
I’m married to the game for this diamond ring
G F#
And I spend more time with her than anybody else it seems
D Bm
Court side with my bitch, we can’t see the nosebleeds
G F#
Afterparty, Bootsy Bellows, hoes make they nose bleed
D Bm
Always stressin’ ‘bout my brother, I know this shit hard on him
G F#
Always stressin’ ‘bout my momma but I know that God got her
D Bm
I’m stressin’ out more now than what I did at rock bottom
G F#
And I’m blowin’ more clouds, hopin’ that’ll help stop it
D Bm
It’s all smoke and mirrors with these bitches
G F#
It’s all smoke and mirrors with ‘em all (For real, haha)
D Bm
Promised the world and delivered me a atlas
G
But I guess that’s how it goes

[Chorus]
D Bm G F# D Bm G
Ooh, I don’t know why I can’t believe it (Oh, yeah)
A Bm
Oh, nothin’ ever as it seems at all (Ooh)
G D Bm
I thought my nightmares were my dreams (Ooh, I don’t believe)
G
This ain’t what it seems now, no
