[C] _ [Ab] As I walk through the valley [Fm] of the shadow of death, I [G] take a look at my life and [C] realize
there's nothing left.
[Ab] Cause I've been blasting [C] and laughing [Ab] so long that [G] even my [Eb] mama thinks that my mind [G] is gone.
But [Ab] I ain't never crossed a man [F] that didn't deserve it.
[G] Me be treated like a prong, [C] you know that's unheard [Ab] of.
You better watch how you're [F] talking and where you're walking, [G] or you and your homies [C] might
be lying in chalk.
[Ab] I really hate to trip, [F] but I gotta loaf.
[G] At the cove I see myself [C] in the pistol smoke.
[Ab] Fool, I'm the kind of cheetah [Fm] little homies wanna be like [G] on my knees in the night saying
prayers [Ab] in the streetlight.

[N] I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street.

[B] Got my tin in my [Cm] hand and the gleam in my eye.
[Ab] I'm a low-down bitch, [Fm] set tripping banger.
[G] And my homies is down [C] so don't arouse my anger.

What can I say?
[Ab] I'm 23 now [Fm] but will I live to sleep [G] 24?

nobody's here to [Bm] teach me, if they can't [Cm] understand it, how can they [Ab] teach me?
I guess they [F] can't,
