VERSE 1

     Em
See this one's for my people
         C
From the backwoods to the steeple
         G
From my daddy and that preacher man
      D
That taught me to run from evil
          Em
From the people that I'm still so cool with
         C
And the people that I went to school with
          G                                  D
From the boys I ran around and stomped them grounds and broke them rules with
Em                                C
This one's for my family and the way that I was raised
             G                            D
And now my life's another city, another picture, another stage
       Em
But I hope you know I miss ya
     C
And part of me's still with ya
         G                         D
And no matter where I go or what I do I won't forget ya


[CHORUS]


VERSE 2

Em
This is for the one's who believed in me
         C
For the one's who took the time to breathe the life in me
      G
You got my heart beating inside of me
     D
You made me what I tried to be
         Em
For the one's who love my music
               C
Said you could do it, if you choose this
        G
So we dreamed big and we worked hard
        D
Now we got the whole world cruisin'
