Am     F                       C                     G
 I see beauty in the shape of feathers, flight like arrows, sparrows
Am         F                      C         G
I've seen strength in the face of death
Am          F                      C           G              Am
 I've seen money in the streets of ghettos, Soweto, shadows fall
       F             C               G                 Am
Across faces of pain, still they strain, for greatness
          F                 C
From those years, still sacrificing
   G                        Am
No fears, just drive, like Tyson
    F              C
In flight I'll soar
         G*
Can't sit back no more


[Chorus]

Am     F
I was waiting on this shit
C                    G
Didn't realize I was waiting on this
   Am             F
I'm young and I'm ready
C              G                       Am      F      C
I'll run this shit till the death of me
   G                       Am    F
My ambition is my weaponry
C              G
I'll run this shit till the death of me


[Verse 2]

Am       F                 C                  G               Am
Determination became the anthem, hung like phantoms, and I learned
   F                 C         G        Am
Retaliate on all my fears
Am      F                  C                   G                 Am
I learned love was a type of cancer, killed you faster, the answer was
         F                    C       G
To find peace between those years
Am     F                     C
Over trembling floors, I'm steady
         G                          Am
But they've written my death already
F              C
So many times
          G*
But this fire won't die


[Chorus]

Am     F
I was waiting on this shit
C                    G
Didn't realize I was waiting on this
   Am             F
I'm young and I'm ready
C              G                       Am      F      C
I'll run this shit till the death of me
   G                       Am    F
My ambition is my weaponry
C              G                         Am
I'll run this shit till the death of me
