 Easy Chords:
 2 Times(  -  -  - )
We  cry for peace  (Uh huh)
 But  we live for  war
We  ain’t start  the wire taps  down in Baltimore
 Sometimes  she  love me,
 sometimes  she love  me not
 But  let check out  his eyes,
 in  the inner city  Chi’
 Evil  lurks...
 in  the heavenly disguise
 I  seen two birds  crash into  two New York giants
 I  wish Katrina  spoke French  at the quarter  to New Orleans
 (A capella style voice... + mutting guitar with strumming)
 But how we  smoke French back, seduced  the storm (Okay)
 told this is  your death, please don’t  rain on my people
 (CHANGE Strumming Rhythm... but same chords)
 Where’d  the  hope go, Where’d  the  hope
I  see the whole  world turn  into a  warzone
Ain’t  no love  in the city  keep your  vest on
Guns  ‘n roses  welcome to  the jungle
 On the flip side (ay), she shakin’ her back side
 That’s the only way tuition gon’ come right
 He got a crush on Mary Jane
 If you ain’t got five on she ain’t doing her thang
 Slow down, young girl
 Keep it real hun, you gotta keep it real hun
 Slow down somebody gon’ crash
 Slow down
 young girl
If  you livin in  the street
You  know your livin  free
Thugs  with the heat,  are  the coldest ones  to meet
We  flyin high,  but  still can’t touch  the sky
Everbody’s  a gangsta, but  no-body wanna  die
 Nuclear testing, replacin’ the SAT’s
 Stem cell research there’s another you another me
 With what goes up, must come down,
  the laws of gravity
 To win at chess, you’ve got to trap the king (Ay) yeahh!!
 (Whole part )
 Where’d the hope go, Where’d the hope
 I see the whole world turn into a warzone
 Ain’t no love in the city keep your vest on
 Guns ‘n roses welcome to the jungle
 On the flip side (Ay),
 she shakin her back side
 That’s the only way tuition gonna come right
 He got a cursh on mary jane
 unless you ain’t got five on she ain’t doing her thang
 Slow down, young girl
 Keep it real hun, you gotta keep it real hun
 Slow down somebody gon’ crash
 Slow down (Ay)
 Young girl (Okay)
 (Whole part )
 Where’d the hope go, Where’d the hope
 I see the whole world turn into a warzone
 Ain’t no love in the city keep your vest on (Ya)
 Guns ‘n roses welcome to the jungle (Ay, Ay)
 On the flip side she shakin her back side
 That’s the only way tuition gonna come right
 He got a crush on mary jane
 If you ain’t got five on she ain’t doing her thang (haha)
 Slow down (Okay)
 Young girl
 Keep it real hun, you can keep it real hun
 Slow down, somebody gon’ crash (You know you need to)
 Slow down, young girl (You know you we used to)
 Keep it real hun, keep it real hun
 Slow down
 I’m gonna let my guitar do the talking now
