VERSE 1
Db
Album on hold, whole world on hold
    Db/C
The crowd is like, hold, operator's like "hold"
Db/B
     Man, now ain't that cold
         Db/Bb
I'm just trying to talk to my homie, that's up in the hole
         Db                                              Db/C
Now homegirl not tryin' to be a ho, even though she on a pole
 
Can she get a second chance? No
Db/B
     Whoa, like the opposite of go
           Db/Bb
That ain't how it's supposed to be: a butterfly
         Db
But for the sake of rhyming let’s just say "butterflyee"
Db/C
     The truth stings like Muhammad Ali
Db/B
     I tell 'em tell 'em don't homocide me
         Db/Bb
I'm just a little old hope with his back against the ropes
Db
Fightin' for his fans and, fightin' for his folks
        Db/C
But the boo's from the crowd can become so loud
  Db/B
If I could block 'em out then, I could knock 'em out and
Db/Bb
Dance around the ring, but until then I'll sing
 
CHORUS
               Db
I'mma keep it cool, and I'mma do me
              Db/C
It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be
        Db/B
Until I get there
       Db/Bb
Until I get there
            Db
Yeah I got flaws, I know I’m not perfect
               Db/C
But all ups and downs, will soon be worth it
      Db/B
When I get there
       Db/Bb
When I get there, woah-oh, oh
 
VERSE 2
Db                                               Db/C
"Doctor doctor please! The fame ain't painless enough"
 
That's cause you ain't famous enough
    Db/B                                             Db/Bb
You got a little game, but your name ain't ringing enough
                                               Db
He said, "Take 2 of these and put change in my cup."
 
I said I wasn't poor, he gave me some more
    Db/C
Prescribed me publicist and pointed to the door
Db/B              Db/Bb
"Out!" Ouch.. I’m telling you this all from a therapist's couch
Db
Tell me about your mother, what she's all about
    Db/C
Prescribed me a interview and then told me to bounce
Db/B
     Damn...geez...
    Db/Bb
The world is so cold, I'm glad I bought these skiis
     Db
Went right off of the bunny slopes and right into the trees
Db/C
Rendered unconscious, they rushed me to a concert
    Db/B
Instead of green jello, they made me chicken soup
           Db/Bb
They fed me magazine covers and video shoots
 
CHORUS
               Db
I'mma keep it cool, and I'mma do me
              Db/C
It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be
        Db/B
Until I get there
       Db/Bb
Until I get there
             Db
Yeah, I got flaws, I know I’m not perfect
               Db/C
But all ups and downs, will soon be worth it
      Db/B
When I get there
       Db/Bb
When I get there, woah-oh, oh
 
VERSE 3
     Db
And when I finally make it, I'mma stunt so hard
Db/C
Evel as Knievel, I'mma jump so far
Db/B
Way up in the atmosphere, I ain't comin' back
     Db/Bb
Be a jerk to these jerks, yeah that'll make 'em hurt
Db
Huh? Said the young boy in the mirror
Db/C
A young version of me, so I started to tear up
   Db/B
He said, you need to cheer up, your mind need to clear up
     Db/Bb
You're already here, just be yourself from here up"
Db
Then he disappeared and I felt something familiar
Db/C
Somethin' I was taught, something I had lost
Db/B
If you are afraid, the fear that you gon' change some
Db/Bb
All you gotta do is just remember where you came from.
 
CHORUS
               Db
I'mma keep it cool, and I'mma do me
              Db/C
It is what it is and that's how it's gon' be
        Db/B
Until I get there
       Db/Bb
Until I get there
             Db
Yeah, I got flaws, I know I’m not perfect
               Db/C
But all ups and downs, will soon be worth it
      Db/B
When I get there
       Db/Bb
When I get there, woah-oh, oh
