[Ab] [F] [G] [C]
[Ab] [F] [G] [C]
[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 so long [G] that even my mama [Cm] thinks that my mind is gone.
[Ab] But I ain't never crossed a [Fm] man that didn't deserve it.
[G] Me be treated like a [C] punk, 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 [Cm] homies might be lying in chalk.
[Ab] I really hate to [F] trip, but I gotta lope.
[G] As they croak, I see [C] myself in the pistol smoke, [Ab] fool.
I'm the kind of [F] cheetah little homies wanna be [G] like on my knees in the night, saying [Ab] prayers
in the [Fm] streetlight.
Been screaming most our lives, [G] living in a [Cm] deathless [Gm] paradise.
[Ab] [Fm] [G] Living in a [Cm] deathless paradise.
[G] [Ab] Been [Fm] screaming most our lives, [G] living in a [Cm] deathless [Ab] [Fm] [G] paradise.
Living in a [C] deathless paradise.
[Ab] Look at the [F] situation they got me facing.
I can't live a normal life.
I was raised by the shit, so I gotta be down with the hood team.
Too much television watching got me chasing [Ab] dreams.
I'm an educated [Fm] fool with money on my mind.
[G] Got my ten in my [C] hand and the gleam in my eye.
[Ab] I'm a loped out [Fm] gangsta set tripping bank.
[G] And my homies is down [C] so don't arise my anger.
[Ab] Fool, death ain't [Fm] nothing but a heartbeat away.
[G] I'm living life to a [C] dia.
What can I [Ab] say?
I'm 23 now, [F] but will I live to see [G] 24?
[C] I don't know.
Tell [Ab] me why [F] I'm [G] so blind [C] to see [Fm] that the [F] [B] [C]
[Ab] world is screaming most our [G] lives,
living in a deathless paradise.
[Ab] [Fm] [G] Living in a [Cm] deathless paradise.
[Ab] [G] [Cm]
[Ab] [G] [C]
[Ab] I will end the [F] money, money in the [G] power.
Minute after minute, hour after hour.
[Ab] Everybody's running, [F] but half of them ain't looking.
[G] What's going on in the kitchen?
[C] But I don't know what's kicking.
[Fm] They say I got to learn, but nobody's here to teach [Bm] me.
If they can't [Cm] understand it, how can they teach [Ab] me?
I guess they think, [F] I guess they won't, [G] I guess they front.
That's why [C] I know my life is out of luck, [Ab] fool.
We've been spending most of our [G] lives living in a deathless paradise.
[Ab] We've been [Eb] spending most [D] of our [G] lives living in a [Cm] deathless paradise.
