Biography:
The work of Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox has been viewed on the ensemble’s YouTube channel well over a hundred million times. Most of those doing the viewing, however, are not fully aware of the method to Bradlee’s madness.
On the surface, the method is video – clips of full-band performances (that’s Bradlee on piano) shot in the bandleader’s living room with a single stationary camera. The madness: pop hits of the present performed à la pop hits of the past.

[Verse 1]
Fm G7 C7
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Fm G7 C7
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
Bbm Fm
'Cause I've been blasting and laughing for so so long,
G7 C7
That even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
Fm G7 C7
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Fm G7 C7
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
Bbm Fm
You better watch how you're talking and where you're walking
G7 C7
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
Bbm7 Eb7
I really hate to trip but I gotta loc'
C7 Fm F7
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
Bbm Bdim7
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
C7
On my knees in the night saying prayers in the streetlight
[Chorus 1]
Bbm Fm C7 Fm
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise (x2)
[Verse 2]
Fm G7 C7
Look at the situation they got me facin'
Fm G7 C7
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets
Bbm Fm
So I gotta be down with the hood team
G7 C7
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
Fm G7 C7
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Fm G7 C7
Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
Bbm Fm
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
G7 C7
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger
Bbm7 Eb7
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,
C7 Fm F7
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
Bbm Bdim7
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
C7
The way things are going I don't know
[Chorus 2]
Bbm Fm C7 Fm
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise (x2)
Bbm Fm C7 Fm
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise (x2)

Tell me why are we so blind to see
Bbm Fm C7 Fm
That the ones we hurt are you and me
[Verse 3]
Fm C7 Db7 C7
Power and the money, money and the power
Fm C7 Db7 C7
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Fm C7 Db7 C7
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
Fm C7 Db7 C7
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
Fm C7
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
Fm C7
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
Bbm Fm
I guess they can't, I guess they won't
G7 C7
I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
[Chorus 3]
Bbm Fm C7 Fm
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise (x2)
