Yeah, I'm just- I'm just callin' to see- um, i-if you'd heard back, or 
             Am7            D Gm7 
Did you even fuckin' apply? 
                 Bb           Am7                   D Gm7 
Nah I, I-I get it, so-so your backup plan is what? 
                Bb               Am7                               D        Gm7 
Nah- yeah, I-I fuckin' know, but like, this shit doesn't work for everybody 
  Bb                                          Am7 
You always do this, you always fuckin' do this! 
                             D 
I'm not the fuckin' bad guy! 
Gm7                Bb 
Know what? Fuck it 
N.C. 
You'll see what I mean. Fuck around and find out 
N.C.  D 
Okay 

 
                  Gm7 
I've been readin' up on life 
           Bb                         Am7 
Goin' over scriptures that'll help me see the light 
                 D                                       Gm7 
Speaking with my soul, the words, they teach me what's inside 
                  Bb                         Am7 
They tell me I'm predestined for the path my feet may find 
       D                 Gm7 
'Cause I've been seekin' what I fear 
                Bb 
Talking to the gods 
                       Am7                           D 
When will they tell me if my drams are far or near? 
                   Gm7 
But they'll nver disappear 
                   Bb 
'Cause the music's written in my soul 
   Am7                            D 
My path could never be more clear 
                  Gm7                    Bb 
Oh, they tell me, don't tempt fate (Fate) 
                 Am7             D 
And I know it's hard to say (Say) 
              Gm7               Bb 
But I feel it in my veins (Veins) 
N.C.                                     D 
'Cause I know that I'll be there someday 
                  Gm7                  Bb 
Oh, they tell you it's been written in 
             Am7 
Like a prophecy, it's predicted 
N.C.            Gm7               Bb 
Like a life sentence of witnessin' 
                Am7                    D 
Let the gods decide who bares the pain 
                Gm7                             Bb 
So, I tell you it's been written in (Written in) 
             Am7 
But the prophecy, I predict it (Predict it) 
N.C.             Gm7                            Bb 
Fuck a life sentence, I got the pen (Got the pen) 
               Am7 
Oh, ascension where do I begin (I begin)

D                  Gm7                      Bb 
I've been temptin' fate ever since I talked 
                   Am7                     D 
Music in my veins, fuck you think you are? 
             Gm7                           Bb 
Where I am today, fate ain't played no part 
                Am7                       D 
Bare my fuckin' soul and put it in my art 
                 Gm7 
I been temptin' fate ever since I talked, uh 
Bb                                                   Am7                                                     D 
Tell me, why you think that someone else can take my voice and let me watch my life like I ain't been a part? 
                             Gm7 
Yeah, I foresee my ascension, but just fate ain't gonna be what takes my music to the top 
Bb                          Am7 
'Cause I'ma bare my fuckin' soul and put it in my art
