     F5                            A5
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
         E5                     A5
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
      F5                    A5
Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long,
     E5                         A5
That even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
            F5                      A5
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
      E5                     A5
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
    F5                           A5
You better watch how you're talking and where you're walking
   E5                          A5
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
  F5                       A5
I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
        E5                        A5
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
F5                        A5
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
      E5                       A5
On my knees in the night saying prayers in the streetlight

F5           A5                     E5              A5
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
F5           A5                     E5              A5
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
F5           A5                   E5              A5
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
F5           A5                   E5              A5
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise

     F5                   A5
Look at the situation they got me facin'
        E5                       A5
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets
     F5                    A5
So I gotta be down with the hood team
         E5                        A5
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
       F5                A5
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
       E5                 A5
Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
      F5                 A5
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
       E5                     A5
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
F5                       A5
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,
           E5              A5
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
    F5                A5
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
    E5                          A5
The way things are going I don't know

        F5     A5  E5      A5
Tell me why are we so blind to see
         F5     A5     E5     A5
That the ones we hurt are you and me

F5           A5                     E5              A5

F5                  A5
Power and the money, money and the power
E5                  A5
Minute after minute, hour after hour
F5                      A5
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
             E5                    A5
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
     F5                      A5
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
   E5                       A5
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
F5                   A5
I guess they can't, I guess they won't
             E5                         A5
I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool

F5           A5                     E5              A5
