verse 1 
     Dm 
They sleeping, they sleeping 
                    C 
They sleeping, they sleeping on me 
      Am 
But I don’t waste my time 
                     Em 
Tryna prove that I’m something to see 
          Dm 
Oh I, the real ones they know 
                     C 
And the ones that do not, I don’t need 
       Am                                Em 
'Cause most see the vision and I give reasons to believe 
         Dm                                 C 
That I’m honest, I’m honest, I’m telling no lies 
When I say I’m up next, I’m not just for the ride 
Am                                 Em 
Never a point when I questioned my mind 
Know what I’m doing, I planned for this time 
Dm                                      C 
Come up regardless, I’m coming regardless 
I’m hungry, I’m starving, remaining a topic 
Am                            Em 
Never an option, got your undivided whenever I’m plotting 

 
              Dm                  C 
Don’t take it personal, personal, personal 
              Am                  Em 
Don’t take it personal, personal, personal 
          Dm                            C 
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know 
               Am 
I don’t want it (na, na, na) 
             Em 
Don’t need it (yeah, yeah, yeah) 
              Dm                  C 
Don’t take it personal, personal, personal 
              Am                  Em 
Don’t take it personal, personal, personal 
          Dm                            C 
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know

I don’t want it (na, na, na) 
             Em 
Don’t need it (yeah, yeah, yeah) 

verse 2 
  Dm 
I know that you hear this 
                                C 
And you gon' just know that I’m speaking to you 
Am 
Shouldn’t have got so ahead of yourself 
           Em 
Now you’re losing your cool 
  Dm 
I know that you know that I’m right 
      C 
You admitted that I am the truth 
    Am                                  Em 
But look you at you now, look at your face 
Looking sad in the booth 
Dm                              C 
Signed off a tape, toured off a tape 
Did it alone, and I ain't touched a plate 
Am                                   Em 
You was my nigga, we could have been great 
You so far gone, got you thinking you're safe 
Dm                               C 
All said and done, you lost my respect 
All said and done, you’re the one I regret 
Am                                    
Now you gon' watch from the crowd 
       Em 
Lookin' up like the rest 


              Dm                  C 
Don’t take it personal, personal, personal 
              Am                  Em 
Don’t take it personal, personal, personal 
          Dm                            C 
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know 
               Am 
I don’t want it (na, na, na) 
             Em 
Don’t need it (yeah, yeah, yeah) 
              Dm                  C 
Don’t take it personal, personal, personal 
              Am                  Em 
Don’t take it personal, personal, personal 
          Dm                            C

Bridge 
            Dm             Am 
Now I could never judge anyone I loved 
     C                            Em 
Even if you lose sight of all the things I’ve done 
            Dm                         Am 
I’m not who I once was, these days I’m all grown up 
  C                       Em 
I fuck with me heavy, I’m all chose up 
               Dm 
And I only did right by you 
                             C 
When you fucked her, I stood right by you 
                             Am 
Prayin' for the girls that believe your news 
                            Em 
Prayin' for myself 'cause I be all truth 
           Dm 
I got good heart, good soul, good sex 
   C 
No stress, next for me is best 
          Am                                   Em
