[Ab] As I walk through the [Fm] valley of the shadow of death, [G] I take a look at my life [Cm] and realize
there's nothing [Ab] left, cause I've been [Fm] brassing and laughing [Ab] so long [G] that even my mama [Eb] thinks
that my [G] mind is gone, [Ab] but I ain't never crossed a [F] man that didn't deserve it.
[G] Me be treated like a punk, [C] you know that's unheard [Ab] of, you better watch how [F] you're talking
and where you're [G] walking, or you and your [C] homies might be lying in chalk.

[Ab] fool, I'm the kind of cheater [Fm] little homies wanna be [G] like on my knees in the night saying
[Cm] prayers in the [Ab] streetlight.

[C] But I don't know what's kicking, [Ab] they say I got to [Fm] learn but nobody's here to teach [B] me.
If they can't [C] understand it, how can they teach [Ab] me?
