C
Okay I was gone for a minute but I'm back now

[Verse 1]
C                                                     Am
Okay now picture little Bobby just a youngin' runnin' round
                                                     C
With his mans, hammer in his hands, feelin' like the man
C
Run, mothafucka, run
             Am                                           C
Before the popo get the gun, put it to your brain like goddamn!
C
Everybody know you ain't about it
                                            Am
Everything you talk about I know I can live without it
Am
Red light, stop. Green light, go!
Am
Everything ain't what it seem like
Am
Mothafucka I know!
Am
Hold up, what you mean, where you been?
Am
Bitch I been in
                   C
This is merely the beginning again
C
What you been living in?
  Am
A box, under the bridge, like Anthony Kiedis?
                         C
Looking for something to complete us
C
And maybe lead us, fuck an elitist
Am
Hell of a long way from equal is how they treat us
C
Body of a builder with the mind of a fetus
            Am
Turn on the television and see the vision they feed us
             C
And I wish I could erase that, face facts

[Chorus]
Am                                 C
Everybody people, everybody bleed, everybody need something
Am                        C
Everybody love, everybody know, how it go
Am                          C
Everybody people, everybody bleed, everybody need something
Am
Everybody love, everybody know

[Verse 2]
Am
I been knockin doors down like a Jehovah witness
Am
God as my witness, I'm with this
           C
But on the real I think I need another witness!
          Am                       C
If it was 1717, black daddy, white momma wouldn't change a thing
                Am
Light skin mothafucka certified as a house nigga
C
Well I'll be God damned, go figure
      Am
In my blood is the slave and the master
              C
It's like the devil playin spades with the pastor
           Am
But he was born with the white privilege!
C
Man what the fuck is that?
                     Am
White people told me as a child, as a little boy, playin with his toys
C
I should be ashamed to be black
               Am
And some black people look ashamed when I rap
              C
Like my great granddaddy didn’t take a whip to the back
    Am
Not accepted by the black or the white
               C
I don't give a fuck, praise God, I could see the light
Am
Everybody talkin' 'bout race this, race that
  C
I wish I could erase that, face facts

[Chorus]
Am                                 C
Everybody people, everybody bleed, everybody need something
Am                        C
Everybody love, everybody know, how it go
Am                          C
Everybody people, everybody bleed, everybody need something
Am
Everybody love, everybody know
