As I [F/C]walk through the valley of the [Am/C]shadow of death
I take a [E/B]look at my life and real[Am/C]ize there's nothin' left
Cause [F/C]I've been blasting and [Am/C]laughing so long,
That [E/B]even my mama thinks that my [Am/C]mind is gone
But I ain't [F/C]never crossed a man that [Am/C]didn't deserve it
Me be [E/B]treated like a punk you [Am/C]know that's unheard of
You [F/C]better watch how you're talkin[Am/C]g and where you're walking
Or [E/B]you and your homies might be [Am/C]lined in chalk
I [F/C]really hate to trip but I [Am/C]gotta loc
As they [E/B]croak, I see myself in the [Am/C]pistol smoke, fool
[F/C]I'm the kinda G the little [Am/C]homies wanna be like
On my [E/B]knees in the night saying [Am/C]prayers in the streetlight
[F/C]Been spending [Am/C]most their lives, living [E/B]in the gangsta's [Am/C]paradise
[F/C]Been spending [Am/C]most their lives, living [E/B]in the gangsta's [Am/C]paradise

Look [F/C]at the situation they [Am/C]got me facin'
I can't [E/B]live a normal life, I was [Am/C]raised by the streets
So I [F/C]gotta be down with the [Am/C]hood team
Too much [E/B]television watching got me [Am/C]chasing dreams
I'm an [F/C]educated fool with [Am/C]money on my mind
Got my [E/B]10 in my hand and a [Am/C]gleam in my eye
I'm a [F/C]loc'd out gangsta se[Am/C]t trippin' banger
And my [E/B]homies is down so don't [Am/C]arouse my anger, fool
[F/C]Death ain't nothing but a [Am/C]heartbeat away,
I'm living [E/B]life, do or die, [Am/C]what can I say
I'm [F/C]23 now, but will I [Am/C]live to see 24
The [E/B]way things are going I don't [Am/C]know
Tell me [F/C]why are [Am/C]we so [E/B]blind to [Am/C]see
That the [F/C]ones we [Am/C]hurt are [E/B]you and [Am/C]me
[F/C]Been spending [Am/C]most their lives, living [E/B]in the gangsta's [Am/C]paradise

[F/C]Keep spending [Am/C]most our lives, living [E/B]in the gangsta's [Am/C]paradise
[F/C]Power and the money, [Am/C]money and the power
[E/B]Minute after minute, [Am/C]hour after hour
[F/C]Everybody's running, but [Am/C]half of them ain't looking
What's going [E/B]on in the kitchen, but [Am/C]I don't know what's cookin'
They [F/C]say I gotta learn, but no[Am/C]body's here to teach me
If [E/B]they can't understand it, [Am/C]how can they reach me
[F/C]I guess they can't, I [Am/C]guess they won't
I guess they [E/B]front, that's why I know my [Am/C]life is out of luck, fool
