A                                    E                  A

Or gas in my car and i drive a bronco

VERSE 1
E                               A                E
I'm getting pretty tired of the state things are in
                                                       B7
Sometimes I feel like cutting a vein, just watching it bleed
E                                    A                    E
I'm tired of laying it down, getting nothing on the other end
    A                      E                       B7                 E
and people only wanting to be your friend when you got something they need
 
CHORUS
A                              E
Well some days you kill it and some days you just choke
                                              B7
Some days you blast off and some days you just smoke
A                       E
Well now maybe I do and maybe I don't
E                                          B7                  E
Everybody says they'll be there but in the end y'all know they won't
 
VERSE 2
E                                      A            E
Well I'm getting pretty tired of being treated like competition
                                                     B7
When the only one that can hold me down is inside my head
E                                     A            E
Whats a honky gotta do around here to get a little recognition
A                E                      B7                 E
Start to think I might be worth more to everybody if I was dead
 
CHORUS
A                              E
Well some days you kill it and some days you just choke
                                              B7
Some days you blast off and some days you just smoke
A                       E
Well now maybe I do and maybe I don't
E                                          B7                  E
Everybody says they'll be there but in the end y'all know they won't

E                                                   B7
I'm tired of taking blame when I ain't done nothing wrong
E                           A                   E
I'm tired of other people trying to take what's mine
        A              E                              B7                    E
