VERSE 1
[Em] When I [Bm]found you, you were
[C]young, wayward, [G]lost in the cold
[Em] Pulled up [Bm]to you in the [C]Jag
Turned your [G]rags into gold
[Em] The wi[Bm]nding road[C] leads to[G] the chateau
[Em] “You re[Bm]remind me of a [C]younger [G]me”
[D]I saw potential…
CHORUS
[G] I’ll be your father figure
[Bm] I drink that brown liquor
[C] I can make deals with the [Am]devil
because my [D]dick’s bigger
[G] This love is pure profit
[Bm] Just step into my office
[C] I dry your tears with my [Am]sleeve
[D]Leave it with [G]me
I protect the [Bm]family
Leave it with [C]me
I protect the [C]family
VERSE 2
[Em] I pay the [Bm]check
before it [C]kisses the ma[G]mahogany grain
[Em] Said, “They [Bm]want to see you [C]
rise, they don’t [G]want you to reign”
[Em] I showed[Bm] you all[C] the tricks[G] of the trade
[Em] All I [Bm]ask for is your [C]loyal[G]loyalty…
[D]My dear protege
CHORUS
[G] I’ll be your father figure
[Bm] I drink that brown liquor
[C] I can make deals with the [Am]devil
because my [D]dick’s bigger
[G] This love is pure profit
[Bm] Just step into my office
[C] They’ll know your name in the [Am]streets
[D]Leave it with [G]me
I protect the [Bm]family
BRIDGE
[Am] I [D]saw a change in [G]you [C]
My dear [Am]boy… They don’t
make [D]loyalty like [Bm]they used [Em]to
[Am] Your thoughtless ambition [D]
sparked the ignition on foolish de[G]decisions
which led its misguided [C]visions
Then to [Am]fulfil your dreams…
You had to [B7]get rid of me (I protect the family)
ALT. CHORUS
[G] I was your father figure
[Bm] We drank that brown liquor
[C] You made a deal with this [Am]devil
Turns out my [D]dick’s bigger
[G] You want a fight, you found it
[Bm] I got the place surrounded
[C] You’ll be sleeping with the [Am]fishes
N.C.
before you know you’re drowning
OUTRO
[A] Whose portrait’s on the mantle?
[C#m] Who covered up your scandals?
[D] Mistake my kindness for [Bm]weakness
And find your [E]card cancelled
[A] I was your father figure
[C#m] You pulled the wrong trigger
[D] This empire belongs to [Bm]me
[E]Leave it with [A]me
I protect the [C#m]family
Leave it with [C]me
I protect the [Bm]family
[E]Leave it with [A]me
OUTRO
“You know,[C#m]know, you remind me of a [D]younger me”
I [Bm]saw po[E]potential…
