_ [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] blasting and laughing so long [G] that even my mama [Cm] thinks that my 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] I really hate to trip, [F] but I gotta loaf.
[G] As they croak, I see myself [C] in the pistol smoke, [Ab] fool.
I'm the kind of cheater [Fm] little homies wanna be [G] like on my knees in the night, saying [Ab] prayers
in the streetlight.
[Fm] You've been spending most of your hours [G] living in your [Cm] death's paradise.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [G] _ _ [C]
You [Ab] keep [Fm] spending most of your hours [G] living in your [Cm] death's paradise.
[Ab] You keep [Fm] spending most of your hours [G] living in your [Ab] death's paradise.
Look at the situation they got me facing.
I can't live a normal life.
I was raised by the state.
So I gotta be down with the hood team.
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams.
I'm an educated fool [Fm] with money on my mind.
[G] Got my tin in my [C] hand and the gleam in my eye.
[Ab] I'm a loafed out [F] gangster set tripping banker.
[G] And my homies is down [C] so don't arouse my anger.
[Ab] Fool, death ain't nothing [F] but a heartbeat away.
[G] I'm living life to a [C] dia.
What can I say?
[Ab] I'm 23 now [Fm] but will I live to see [G] 24?
The way things are growing [C] I don't know.
[Ab] Tell me why [F] are we [G] so blind [C] to see that [Ab] the ones [F] we hurt [G] are you [C] and me?
[Ab] You've been [Fm] spending most of your [G] hours living in your death's paradise.
[Ab] You've been [Fm] spending most of your [G] hours living in your death's [Ab] paradise.
_ You keep spending most [Fm] of your hours [G] living in your [C] death's paradise.
[Ab] You keep spending most of your hours [G] living in your [C] death's paradise.
[Ab] Power and the [F] money.
Money and the [G] power.
Minute after minute.
Hour after hour.
[Ab] Everybody's running.
[F] But I'm a look at [G] what's going on in the kitchen.
But I [C] don't know what's [Ab] kicking.
They say I got to [F] learn but nobody's here to teach [G] me.
If they can't [C] 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, you've been spending most of your [G] hours living _ [Cm] _
