Church, Struggle
[Verse 1]
Bm Bm Am A
Damn I feel like Elvis Presley dog, paparazzi poppin' shit
D D
So many flashes in my face, I fell off in a diamond pit
D G G
I'm drippin' sweat from all my shows, and fans be takin' pictures
G D
Yeah, I do it for the movement, don't give a fuck 'bout gettin' richer
Bm Bm G
Yeah, I'm ridin' in that sleeper, Challenger, you know it's supercharged
D D D
I may have made some money, but I still reppin' them junkyards
B G
The kid from the country, who put the woods on the map
G G
100 million fuckin' plays, still ain't kissin' no ass
G Bm Bm G
You know it, bitch I'm headbangin' like I'm drunk out in a rock band
D D D
230 pounds, still jumpin' into a thousand hands
G G
Rebel flag on stage, if you don't like it leave the premises
G G B
If you hatin' cracker then, why'd you buy a ticket bitch
[Chorus]
Bm Bm
I'm probably not what you wanted, know I'm not what you need
G D D
No need to impress you, won't catch me on TV
G G G
I am what I come from and what I breathe

I guess I'm the Tennessean

Every time I cut a track you know I'm bleedin' orange

B Bm Bm B
From 51st in the Verge to the Ranchettes in the K
G D D
Ashland City no omission so I'm blazin' the hay
D G G G
Tobacco barn puffin' 'til my eyes red and blue
D D
Look like a county cop car after I smoke me a doob
B Bm G
Yeah, I rollin' stoned in Rolling Stone, cussin' out that author right
D D
Well, fuck that magazine, they made us look idiots no lie
G G G
They asked me for an interview, I tell 'em give me eighty grand
G G
Then take it to my shows, throw it all out to my fuckin' fans
Bm Bm Bm G
Cause they should get the credit for this dope position that I'm in
D D D
Every time I wake up all I want to do is fuckin' win
G G
So fuck the whole game with two tatted middle fingers
G G
Don't go steppin' in my woods unless you RHECin' with me stranger
[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Bm A G
Black feet from the concrete, always beat the street's 'til my knuckles bleed
D D
Feed the family, I'd die for that, never start a fight, but I fight back
D A G
Westside 'til they shovel dirt in a big hole out in Harpeth Hills
D D
Say I made it, now life's sweet, I can take you back to the harder years
Bm Bm G
PGK and George Strait, tried to stay straight between court dates
D D
Never made it, got a new indictment, couple warrants for me in four states
D D G
On the run, trust no one, backed in a corner with my guns out
G G
Feds rushed in, took all my money, even the silver spoon out my son mouth
Bm D G
Gotta cry, 'cause daddy gone, but a five star from granddaddy's song
D D
Outlaw shit took a lot of lives from a lot of people who was livin' wrong
D D G
Came home and I started grindin', got my family back, and changed my life
D
One thing you can bet your ass,
N.C.
Us Tennesseans never say die
[Chorus]
