Chords with lyrics

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

C#C#      BbmBbm           C majorC        F minorFm
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
C#C#      BbmBbm           C majorC        F minorFm
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
C#C#      BbmBbm          C majorC        F minorFm
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
C#C#      BbmBbm          C majorC        F minorFm
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise

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

C#C#      BbmBbm           C majorC        F minorFm
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
C#C#      BbmBbm           C majorC        F minorFm
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
C#C#      BbmBbm          C majorC        F minorFm
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
C#C#      BbmBbm          C majorC        F minorFm
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise

[musical interlude]

    C#C#   BbmBbm  C majorC    F minorFm
Tell me why are we so blind to see
     C#C#   BbmBbm   C majorC    F minorFm
That the ones we hurt are you and me

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

C#C#      BbmBbm           C majorC        F minorFm
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
C#C#      BbmBbm           C majorC        F minorFm
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
C#C#      BbmBbm          C majorC        F minorFm
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
C#C#      BbmBbm          C majorC        F minorFm
