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


G G Em Em F# F# Bm Bm
Keep spending most our lives, living in a gangsta's paradise

We Keep spending most our lives, living in a gangsta's paradise

We Keep spending most our lives, living in a gangsta's paradise


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


G G Em Em F# F# Bm Bm
Tell me why are we so blind to see
G G Em Em F# F# Bm Bm
That the ones we hurt are you and me


G G Em Em F# F# Bm Bm
Keep spending most our lives, living in a gangsta's paradise
G G Em Em F# F# Bm Bm
Been spending most our lives, living in a gangsta's paradise

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