Gm
Yesterday I was sitting, recalling, reminiscing
Trying to remember
Whenever there was nobody listening
Before the hugging and the kissing
The booing and the hissing
       F
All I had was just a vision
All I had was my ambition

Your love without condition
Kept me swinging when I'm missing
My eyes upon the prize
Kept me striving for the mission
When I was down for the count
Falling out of commission
I can hear you voice now
Screaming out "son, listen"

Get on up, don't give up
Though you struck opposition
Time to buck all that stuff
Find out what's you condition
Like a pull in my soul
Like keys in my ignition
Call you all my commission
My love and my vision and...

Chorus:
D#
It doesn't matter if they call me wrong
Cm
Doesn't matter if they steal my song
A#
Doesn't matter if we're all along
F/A
It doesn't matter at all
                      Gm
Cause I would take a bullet for you
               D#
I would take a bullet for you
              A#                             F
I would cross any line, I'd swim across the sea
                Gm
I would take a bullet for you
                D#
I would take a bullet for you
         A#
I would lose it all, I'd take my fall
     F                Gm
To show you it's for real

Remember when we used to flow
together back in the park
You would sling guitar licks under
the stars in the dark
You'd say let's grow together as this
world falls apart
I was holding on to hope but hardly
holding a spark

All the rhymes that I wrote you'd
call dope from the start
I'd be like a pure note, like
a quote on the mark
You'd go to every show and promote from the start
From the beginning we've been building
much more than this art

Remember bearing scars in you car to
impart your heart
You cared enough to call my bluff
through the junk from the start
That's why you're holding onto half of my heart
You've been there through the times
Through the nights that were dark and....

Chorus

It doesn't matter if they call me wrong
Doesn't matter if they steal my song
Doesn't matter if we're all along
It doesn't matter at all
It doesn't matter if they call me wrong
Doesn't matter if they steal my song
Doesn't matter if we're all along
It doesn't matter at all

Cause I would take a bullet for you
I would take a bullet for you
I would cross any line, I'd swim across the sea
I would take a bullet for you
I would take a bullet for you
I would lose it all, I'd take my fall
To show you it's for real
