[C] _ [Ab] As I walk through the valley [Bb] of the shadow of death I [G] take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
[Ab] Cuz I've been brassin and laughing so long that [G] even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
But [Ab] I never crossed a man [F] that didn't deserve it
[G] Me be treated like a punk [C] you know that's unheard [Ab] of you better watch how you're [F] talking and where you're walking
[G] Or you and your homies [C] might be lying to yourself
[Ab] I really hate to trip [F] but I gotta loaf
[G] As they croak I see myself [C] in the pistol smoke
[Ab] I'm the kind of kid that [F] little homies wanna be like
[G] On my knees in the night [C] saying prayers in the [Ab] streetlight
Been spending [Bb] most of my life

_ [Ab] Forgot the situation [F] they got me facing
[G] I can't live a normal life [C] I was raised by the same
[Ab] So I gotta be there [F] with the hood team
[Eb] Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool [F] with money on my mind
[G] Got my ten in my hand [C] and a dream in my heart
[Ab] I'm a low-down, [F] except tripping banker
[G] And my homies is down so [C] don't arouse my anger
[Ab] Fool, yeah I think nothing [F] but a heartbeat away
I'm [G] living life to a dire
[C] What can I say?
[Ab] I'm 23 now but [F] will I live to see 24?
[G] The way things are going [C] I don't know
Tell [Ab] me why [F] are we so [G] blind to [C] see
Yeah [Ab] I think nobody _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _
[C] WILL
[Ab] I've been spending [Bb] most of their lives
[G] Living in a [Eb] debt願 paradise
Have been spending most of their lives
[G] Living in a debt願 paradise
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ [G] Living in a [Cm] debt願 paradise
[Ab] Who keeps spending most of their lives
[G] Living in a [Eb] debt願 paradise
[Ab] Power and the money, [F] money and the power
[G] Minute after minute, [G] hour after hour
[Ab] Everybody's running, [F] but half of them ain't looking.
It's [G] going on in the kitchen, [C] but I don't know what's shifting.
[Ab] They say I got to learn, but [F] nobody's here to teach me.
[G] If they can't understand it, [C] how can they teach [Ab] me?
I guess they can't, [F] I guess they won't, I guess [G] they front.
That's why I know [C] my life is out of love, [Ab] fool.
Once in, [Bb] most when I was [G] moving, that's [Eb] the sunrise.

[Bb] _ _ [G] Do you think that [Ab] the world could be better for you? _
[Eb] Lost one.

Lost one.
