Song: New Song
From: Justin Bortnicker

Intro (drums 'n bass)
I heard that payback's a mother fuckin' bitch 
But I won't stress and I won't switch 
And I would not take my life 
Glory please, my God, the only thing on my mind 
Takes up all of my time, 
And I said, ooh! 

Verse 1 (starts on Bb)
Bb
Running from a gun 
        F
Or some brain that ways a ton 
       Gm                      Eb
And my God, it hurts to get so low
Bb 
Searchin' through the cars 
             F
Cold, still searchin' through the night
             N.C. 
I think I will run, to you, but 
    Bb
I refuse to fuss and fight 
Bb
And God may find a reason
F 
Well I'm sure you'll find a rhyme 
           Gm                     Eb
Because it takes up nearly all my time
F(VIII)           F# 
He who stands for freedom 
    F(VIII)            F#
God knows I've got the number
    Bb           C#      Bb
But maybe I just use too much 

Verse 2
      Bb
I was sitting in that bar 
    F
I'm sittin' in that stolen car 
      Gm                          Eb
Cold, still rollin' down the boulevard
Bb 
Saw you with a gleam 
        F
And the microphone scene 
              N.C.
'Think I will run, to you 
    Bb
But I know I won't live for me 
Bb
Cause I know God's got both, 
    F
the reason and the rhyme 
       Gm                              Eb
Please tell me, why he takes up all my time
F(VIII)   F#        F(VIII)   F# 
I've been drinking, just like you
    Bb               C#              Bb 
And baby, you've got something I can use 

Verse(drum 'n bass and you can slide up the guitar if you want)
Payback's a mother fuckin' blast 
But I won't stress and I won't blast 
And I would not take my life 
Glory please, my God, comin' from heaven above 
Takes up all of my time And I said 

Solo

Verse 3(Same progression as before)
"Why must I feel like that" 
Running from a gun 
And some brain that ways a ton 
You know, I did that line for Flava' Flave 

But, all the D.J.'s do it 
All the D.J.'s use it 
I would run, I would switch 
But I wanna be the same 

And I know I'll find a reason 
'Cause I always bust a rhyme 
Because it takes up nearly all my time 
The "T" hear stands for treason 
The "D" hear stands for dove 

And maybe I just use too, 
Maybe I'm just used too much.
