Tuning: G C E A
For the intro I pick the bottom two strings (G & C) with the chords.
But that's just a suggestion.
Cheers ~Sam
Intro:
F Dm E7 Am
Verse:
FAs I walk through the vallDmey of the shadow of death
I take a E7look at my life and reAmalize there's nothin' left
Cause I'Fve been blasting and laDmughing so long,
That evE7en my mama thinks that myAm mind is gone
But I ain't nFever crossed a man that dDmidn't deserve it
Me bE7e treated like a punk you know that'sAm unheard of
YoFu better watch how you're talkDming and where you're walking
Or E7you and your homies might beAm lined in chalk
I reFally hate to trip but DmI gotta loc
As they E7croak, I see myself in tAmhe pistol smoke, fool
FI'm the kinda G the litDmtle homies wanna be like
On my E7knees in the night sayinAmg prayers in the streetlight
Chorus:
FBeen spending Dmmost their lives, liviE7ng in the gangAmsta's paradise
FBeen spending Dmmost their lives, liviE7ng in the gangsAmta's paradise
FKeep spending Dmmost our lives, livingE7 in the gangstaAm's paradise
FKeep spending Dmmost our lives, livingE7 in the gangstaAm's paradise
The chords are the same throughout, rinse and repeat the above! ^
Look at the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger,
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
The way things are going I don't know
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Chorus:
Verse:
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
They say I gotta 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:
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
