[Ab] As I walk through the [Fm] valley of the shadow of death, [B] I take a look at my [Cm] life and [E] realize
there's [Ab] much left.
Cause I've been blasting and [Ab] laughing so [G] long that even my mama [Cm] thinks that my mind is [Ab] gone.
But I ain't never crossed a [F] man that didn't deserve [G] it.
Me be treated like [C] a punk, you know that's unheard [Ab] of.
You better watch [F] how you're talking and where you're [G] walking, or you and your homies might
be [C] lying in chalk.
[Ab] I really hate to [F] trip, but I gotta lope.
[G] As they cope, I see [C] myself in the pistol smoke.
[Ab] I'm the kind of [Fm] cheetah that homies wanna [G] be like on my knees in the night, saying [Cm] prayers
in the [Ab] streetlight.
I've been [Fm] staying up late [G] night and really getting a [Cm] head start.

Look [Ab] at the [F] situation they got me facing.
I can't [N] 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 [Ab] chasing dreams.
I'm an educated [Fm] fool with money on my mind.
[G] Got my 10 in my [C] hand and the gleam in my [Ab] eye.
I'm a low-down, [Fm] dense, set-tripping banger.
[G] And my homies is down, [C] so don't arise my anger.
[Ab] Fool, death ain't [F] nothing but a heartbeat [G] away.
I'm living life to a [C] dia.
What can I [Ab] say?
I'm 23 [Fm] now, but will I live to sleep [G] 24?
The way things are [C] going, I don't know.
[Ab] Tell me why [F] you're [G] so blind [C] to see [Fm] that the one _ _ [G] you [C] and [Ab] me
We've been scamming most of the night, [G] and living in the day. _
_ [Ab] We've been scamming most of the night, [G] and living [Ab] in the day. _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _
[Gm] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Fm] _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [Ab] Power and the [F] money, money and the [G] power.
Minute after minute, [C] hour after [Ab] hour.
Everybody's [F] running, but I'm not looking.
[G] What's going on in the [C] kitchen?
But I don't know what's [Ab] cooking.
They say I got to [F] learn, but nobody's here to [B] teach me.
If they can't [G] understand it, how can they [Ab] teach me?
I guess they [F] think.
I guess they won't.
[G] I guess they front.
That's why [C] I know my life is out of [Ab] luck, fool.
We've been scamming most of the night, [G] and living in the day.
We've been scamming most of the night, [Ab] and living in the day.
