[Intro] (Lauryn Hill)
Am Gm
(wooh, wooh-wooh wooh) yo, my men and my women
Am Gm
(wooh, wooh-wooh wooh) yo, my men and my women

[Verse 1]
Am Gm
You need somethin’ unexpected, some form of weapon
Am Gm
You ask him to feel protected, and still feel protected
Am Gm
Just one time for the record, just one time for the record
Am Gm
Don’t agree with the message, don’t agree with the methods

[Chorus]
Am Gm Am
Don’t let, don’t let the lifestyle drag you down
Gm Am
Who knows when was the last time you felt the love
Gm Am
One last sparkle to follow in my light
Gm
One last sparkle to follow

[Verse 2]
Bb Am Gm C
Man, it’s too early What the hell you do wakin’ me up at 5:30?
Bb Am Bb N.C.
Why the hell are you worried? Play somethin’ that is very, very vibe-worthy
Am Gm
I don’t know want my mind alerting, people sayin’ tweetin’ gonna make you die early
Am Gm
How ’bout have my heart hurtin’? Hold it all inside, that could make you die early
Am Gm
Go on and get your best attorney Something’s there, feel it when I heard it
Am Gm
Just release the spirit, let it flow though How these **** leaving now with one leg like Flo-Jo?
Am Gm
Nail me to the cross with long nails, like Coco Free Throat Coat for the throat goats
Am Gm
Even if I gotta do it solo, even if I gotta do it with no promo
Am Gm
I ain’t got my point across ’til we finally get across and pass the point
Am Gm
So there’s a couple things that I gotta quote Don’t involve yourself in things you don’t have to know
Am Gm
I ain’t never question what you was askin’ for I gave you every single thing you was askin’ for
Am Gm
I don’t understand how anybody could ask for more Got a list of even more, I just laugh it off
Am Gm
I be goin’ through things I had to wrote Celebrity drama that only Brad’ll know
Am Gm
Too many family secrets, somebody passin’ notes Things I cried about, I found laughable
Am Gm
Lil’ baby Jesus, ain’t laughing, no Don’t involve yourself in things they ain’t have to know
Am Gm
The big man upstairs ain’t laughin’, no Don’t involve yourself in things they ain’t have to know

[Bridge] (Buju Banton)
Bb Am Gm C
Now here we are, you know I’m not about it
Bb Am Bb
Showed you my all I let you into my thoughts

[Chorus]
Am Gm Am
Don’t let, don’t let the lifestyle drag you down
Gm Am
Who knows when was the last time you felt the love
Gm Am
One last sparkle to follow in my light
Gm
One last sparkle to follow
Am Gm
In love, one last sparkle to follow in my light
Am Gm
One last sparkle to follow

[Interlude] (Buju Banton)
Bb Am Gm C
Okay, I didn’t throw a fit when you said you wanted to leave, I told you I loved you,
Bb Am Bb
but you didn’t believe, You were too easily fooled,
Am Gm
so easily deceived, by some dude who’s more rather into greed
Am Gm
Played by your emotions, you were swamped by your needs
Am Gm
Told me, I didn’t believe, you said I was out to deceive, ahaha
Am Gm
You said that I lie, how did I?
Am Gm
I told you everything, didn’t I?
Am Gm
But you just could not believe, man, I’m so peeved
Am Gm
Your friends all up in your head even when we’re in bed
Am Gm
Your mind’s elsewhere, and you say you care? Haha
Am Gm
I’m laughin’ at you all, you think you got me? No, no
N.C.
My back ain’t against the wall (The wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall)

[Chorus]
Am Gm Am
Don’t let, don’t let the lifestyle drag you down
Gm Am
Who knows when was the last time you felt the love
Gm Am
One last sparkle to follow in my light
Gm
One last sparkle to follow
