Rap- Kendrick Lamar 
                                  Am 
And everybody know the story of David and Goliath 
 
But this is bigger than triumph 
C                                            Em 
This is for the warrior, this is for you and I 
 
This is for euphoria, give me a piece of mind 
G 
God is recording this! won't you look in the sky? 
Am 
Tell him you got the behavior of your neighbor 
C 
Even when stability's never in your favor 
Em 
Fly with the turbulence, only last a minute 
G 
Land on your dreams, and recognize you live it 
Am 
Walk through the valley of peace, with bare feet 
C 
Run through the flames, thats more passion for me 
Em 
I passed that, this morning just so the world can see 
G 
Got them wolves on me, no watch me like em clean 
Am 
I know, I know, my pride, my ghost, my eyes 
C 
My lows, I know I know, its mind control 
Em 
I know I could prosper, no impostor 
G 
Prosecute my posture 
Am 
I stand up and I stand by it what 
 
 
Verse I Alicia Keys 
 
Am 
 I am a freedom fighter, 
C                          Em 
 the name that history wrote 
 
and even through disaster, eye of the tiger for hope 
Am 
 I'm trying to find my way back, 
C                           Em 
 there's no day off for heroes 
                         
And even when I'm tired, go is the only word I know 
 
 
Pre-Chorus
 
        Am 
And the night is takin' over, 
        C 
and the moonlight gets exposure 
        Em 
And the player have been chosen, 
        
and it seems like fate has spoken 
        Am 
When it seems your faith has broken, 
       C 
by the second, losin' focus 
                Em 
Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off 
  G 
Unless you move forward 
 
 
                  Am   C          Em     G 
I bet they wonder ho-------w I go on (go on) 
                  Am   C          Em     G 
I bet they wonder ho-------w I go on (go on) 
                      Am             C              Em    G 
I'll simply say "it's on again, it's on again" whoa-oh 
                           Am             C              Em    G 
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again, whoa-oh 
 
 
Verse II 
 
Am 
 I am a lonely hero, 
C 
 trying to fight my battles 
Em 
 Life likes to blow the cold wind, sometimes it freezes my shadow 
Am 
 In the midst of all this darkness, 
C 
 I sacrifice my ego 
Em                               pause  
 There ain't no room for selfish, we do it for the people 
 
Pre-Chorus 
        Am 
And the night is takin' over, 
        C 
and the moonlight gets exposure 
        Em 
And the player have been chosen, 
        
and it seems like fate has spoken 
        Am 
When it seems your faith has broken, 
       C 
by the second, losin' focus 
                Em 
Ain't no way to get off, get off, get off, get off 
  Em 
Unless you move forward 
 
 
                  Am   C          Em     G 
I bet they wonder ho-------w I go on (go on) 
                  Am   C          Em     G 
I bet they wonder ho-------w I go on (go on) 
                      Am             C              Em    G 
I'll simply say "it's on again, it's on again" whoa-oh 
                           Am             C              Em    G 
The world don't stop, it's on again, it's on again, whoa-oh 
 
 
Bridge 
        Am 
Say the work don't stop, cause they don't stop 
    C 
And everybody here tryna get on top 
     Em 
Everybody from the burbs down to the block 
 
Gotta hold on tight and don't let go, let go 
Am 
 Huh, So you think you hot? 
C 
 Gotta grind hard, give it all you got 
Em 
 You can have, or you can have not 
    G 
You see that a lot in the ghetto (ghetto)
