F Am
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
E Am
I take a look at my life and realize there's none left
F Am
Cause I've been brassing and laughing so long that
E Am
Even my mamma thinks that my mind is gone
F Am
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
E Am
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
F Am
You better watch how you talking and where you walking
E Am
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
F Am
I really hate to trip but I gotta lope
E Am
As they croak I see myself in the pistal smoke fool
F Am
I'm the kinda G that little homies want to be like
E Am
On my knees in the night saying prayers in the street light
CHORUS
F Am E Am
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
F Am E Am

F Am E Am
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
F Am
They got the situation they got me facing
E Am
I can't live a normal life I was raised by the strip
F Am
So I gotta be down with the hood team
E Am
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
F Am
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
E Am
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
F Am
I'm a loped out gangsta set trippin banger
E Am
And my homies is down so gonna rouse my anger fool
F Am
Death aint nothing but a heart beat away
E Am

Repeat F Am E Am
Power and the money money and the power
Minute after minute hour after hour
Everybody's running but half of them ain't looking
What's going on in the kitchen but I don't know what's cooking
They say I've got to learn but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it how can they reach me
I guess they can't
I guess they won't
I guess they front
That's why I know my life is out of luck fool
CHORUS
F Am E Am
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
F Am E Am

F Am E Am
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise

F Am E Am
That the ones we hurt are you and me
F Am E Am
Tell me why are we so blind to see
F Am E Am
That the ones we hurt are you and me
