G
I need love
G
You need love

Give me love
                G (or C)
And I'll give you my love
G C Em C x2

G
They say thirty is the new twenty
C
And twenty is the new thirty shit I guess, makes sense
Em
cause fifteen year olds seem twenty
                     C
And twenty five year olds seem ten
G
I used to drink away my paycheck
C
Celebrate the mistakes I hadn't made yet
Em
Our generation isn't the best on safe sex
                        C
We forget the latex, becoming Planned Parenthood patients
G
Synthetic heroin is the new basshead
C
So much to escape, fuck a straight edge
Em
Walk around looking through a fake lens
                C
Apps this good, whose got time to make friends?
G
I wish I didn't care
C
Acynical hispters with long hair. Cocaine
Em
problems, like my music
                          C
It's not my issue, I can't solve it, yeah

G                          C
Say my flight has finally landed down and the
Em                              C
ground has stopped moving all around
G               C
Eyes open, awake for the very first
Em                      C
time We both forfeit this game of crime

        G
They say it's so refreshing to hear somebody on records
C
No guns, no drugs, no sex, just truth
Em
The guns that's America, the drugs are what they gave to us
                        C
And sex sells itself, don't judge her 'til it's you
G
Ah, I'm not more or less cautious
C
The rappers rappin' 'bout them strippers up on the pole, copping
Em
These interviews are obnoxious
                                 C
Saying that it's poetry is so well spoken, stop it
G
        I grew up during Reaganomics
C
When Ice T was out there on his killing cops shit
Em
Or Rodney King was getting beat on and they let off every single officer
C
And Los Angeles went and lost it
G
Now every month there is a new Rodney on Youtube
C
It's just something our generation is used to
Em
And neighbourhoods where you never see a news crew
                        C
Unless they're gentrifying, white people don't even cruise through
G
And my subconcious telling me stop it
C
This is an issue that you shouldn't get involved in
Em
Don't even tweet, R.I.P Trayvon Martin
                         C
Don't wanna be that white dude, million man marchin'
G
Fighting for our freedom that my people stole
C
Don't wanna make all my white fans uncomfortable
Em
But you don't even have a fuckin' song for radio
                                C
Why you out here talkin race, tryin' to save the fuckin' globe
G
Don't get involved with the causes in mind
C
White privilege, white guilt, at the same damn time
Em
So we just party like it's nineteen ninty nine
                        C
Celebrate the ignorance while these kids keep dying

G                          C
My flight has finally landed down and the
Em                              C
ground has stopped moving all around
G               C
Eyes open, awake for the very first
Em                      C
time We both forfeit this game of crime
G C Em C

G
I need love
C
You need love
