Problem child, problem's mine (Yeah)

Even now I see the flashback, (Uh)
A D
life a stage I missed the lines
C#m
Don't miss the times when my own friends
B
pretended I didn't exist befriended liars,
E
just some kids the words used defending lies
A D
fuck 'em man, I hope that agenda dies because
C#m
it's some, nature versus nurture shit,

my mother birthed a hurtin' son of a gun
E
That's why this verse felt relevant,
I'm adamant the person I was (Yeah)
A D
deep inside a different version of the person
C#m
I loved, they made a brown kid dummy like
B
my writing is shit, no shit, then adolescence
was just burning the wick, waitin' for

Workin' a 9-5 shift like I'm done with
this shit, cause

In the 3rd grade
E
Yellin' rebel nothings
A D
Thinking they were something, yeah
C#m B
And the pain wouldn't slide on the birthdays
E
Recess or the lunch breaks
A
Couldn't tell me nothing
[Chorus]
B
Still can't tell me nothing
F#
Still can't tell me nothing
C#
Fuck your damn assumptions
B
I won't keep my cool, tell me nothin'

I'll just take my money (I take it)
To keep my cool

Modern man, modern plans,
B
I don't need your modern scams
E
Even now I hear them cookin' up to,
A D
sell my soul for a couple grand, I
C#m
kiss goodbye to being a punk,
B
all I need is my laptop freedom and a
E
feminine touch, and soon enough I'll be
A
sending em damage till I say that a
D
million won't be enough
C#m
yeah my following ain't big but I'm looking
B
to buff me up, but I don't wanna white collar
E
fucking it up for me, I'm all authentic,
A D
broke, ambitious and my car dented yeah,
C#m
So I gotta drive like nobody, nobody taking
B
my cut, and I don't really do no fucking
E
work for free, so don't count on me, yeah
A D
don't count on me yeah, cause
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
I started fires
B
In the 3rd grade

Yelling rebel nothings

Recess or the lunch breaks

A#m A
I keep my cool, don't say a word
C#
They'll be back in a moment,
A#m
when it's your moment, just keep it cool,
A
separate from the herd, and at first you'll
C#
be lonely, till they all hone-in
C#m B E A D
Say tell me nothing, yeah
C#m B E A D
Say tell me nothing
