[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.

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.

Minute after minute.
Hour after hour.

[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.
