You can simplify Am/G with a C/G if that is easier. 

Intro 

Am Gmaj7 G 
Fmaj7 
 

look, 
Am 
Honesty between a seller and a buyer should be a given 

But man, I didn't know you were a liar 
Am/G 
Dropped out of college, still I made it through the wire 

We was tryna hustle whatever was ten just for a fiver 
Gbdim 
"Don't sell yourself short, miss, " said the driver 

I was on my way to getting caught in a crossfire 
        Fmaj7 
I mean, lavish living, dripping designer 

"Who you wearing?" There's someone charting my attire 
Am 
Heart's on fire, bought the dream with every penny that I acquired 
                             Am/G 
It's a set-up, and you'll be next up to those prior 
                           
Devil works hard, but the business works harder 
                Gbdim 
I've vowed from now to work smarter 

They won't do it like us, for the people, by us 
                          Fmaj7 
Why they wanna fight? Our spirit on higher 

God made truth of everything I desire 
                      Am 
I ain't need much, as long as I got my baby, he a rider 

He sittin' beside her, that's who she confide in 
                Am/G 
They want you conniving, creeping with your side ting 

Making up a story that equals somebody buying 
          Gbdim 
New world order 'cause life as we know is dying 

Not thriving, it's only a matter of timing, ain't it just 
Fmaj7 
Funny how you can literally give your everything 

Somebody gonna turn around and tell you you ain't gave enough? 
Am 
Danger, what you afraid of? 

Acknowledging it's impossible now to restrain her 
      Am/G 
Worst thing I could've done is put trust in a stranger 
        
But that needed to happen for me only to wake up 
    Gbdim 
The suits'll get in your ear, in your shit 

Popping lies over flowing, and they ain't stopping 
                    Fmaj7 
You don't even recognize who it is that you're becomin 
                                                                       Am 
They don't give a shit, long as the gravy train running (my heart's on f-) 


My life is a blessing 
G 
  But it comes with the stresses 
D/F# 
     And I can take it all 
           Fmaj7 
Just don't let me down when I'm in the fire 
                
(My heart's on f-) 


       Am 
We all start off so pure 

Do it for the love, nothing more 
              Am/G 
Nah, maybe to cop Mum a house, but nothing more 

Maybe to sort my cousin out, but nothing more 
           Gbdim 
Maybe I'll get the new coupe and nothing more 

Fifteen to a hundred shoes, nothing more 
                Fmaj7 
By the time you know it, that list never stop growing 

And you don't know what you even do this for 
           Am  
Heart's on fire, heart's on grandeur 

Ballroom gowns and champagne pours 
            G 
Is the afterparty a social party? 

With everybody talking, the music should've been paused 
       D/F# 
Marble floors, and tall glass doors is what you're in for 

Did you read the clause? 
              Fmaj7 
It was never about looking for results 

Now, every time you do something, you need an applause 
                 Am 
Please keep your head on when you're going through the maze 

Cause navigating the fame is something you're never trained for 
                 G 
Tell me what you came for 

Wanted better days, and now, you're running away from 

That very thing you prayed for 
              D/F# 
Tell me, am I tripping or is the light blinding? 

Am I anxious or am I excited? 
     Fmaj7 
Am I calm or am I unbothered? 

Or maybe, I needed my fire to be ignited? 

Hearts on 


Am 
   My life is a blessing 
G 
  But it comes with the stresses 
D/F# 
     And I can take it all 
           Fmaj7 
Just don't let me down when I'm in the fire 
               Am 
(My heart's on f-) 

My life is a blessing 
G 
  But it comes with the stresses 
D/F# 
     And I can take it all 
           Fmaj7 
Just don't let me down when I'm in the fire 
               Am 
(My heart's on f-) 

G D/F# Fmaj7
