Tom: A

[Intro] A  F#m G# C#m

     A                              F#m   
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
         G#                     C#m
I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
   A                      F#m  
Coz I've been blastin and laughin so long, that
G#                          C#m 
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
             A                        F#m
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
      G#                      C#m
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
    A                               F#m
You better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking
   G#                           C#m
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
  A                         F#m
I really hate to trip but I gotta, loc
     G#                       C#m
As I grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
A                           F#m
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
      G#                          C#m
On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight

A             F#m                      G#               F#
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
A             F#m                      G#               F#
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise

A             F#m                      G#               F#
Keep spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
A             F#m                      G#               F#
Keep spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise

A                            F#m
They got the situation, they got me facin'
        G#                        C#m
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes
     A                      F#m
So I gotta be down with the hood team
         G#                         C#m
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
       A                    F#m
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
       G#                   C#m
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
      A                     F#m
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
       G#                       C#m
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
A                         F#m
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away
    G#                      C#m
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
    A                             F#m
I'm twenty-three now, but will I live to see twenty-four
        G#                       C#m
The way things are going I don't know

        A       F#m    G#       C#m 
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
         A        F#m       G#      C#m
That the one's we hurt, are you and me

A             F#m                      G#               F#

A                   F#m
Power in the money, money in the power
G#                   C#m
Minute after minute, hour after hour
A                        F#m
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
             G#                     C#m
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's kickin'
     A                        F#m
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
   G#                        C#m          
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
A                     F#m
I guess they can't, I guess they won't
             G#                  C#m
I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool

A             F#m                      G#               F#
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise

        A       F#m    G#       C#m
