[Intro 1]
[F][Dm][E][Am]
[F][G][F][E][Am]
[F][Dm][E][Am]
[F][G][F][E][Am]

[Verse 1]
As I [F]walk through the valley
of the [Dm]shadow of death
I take a [E]look at my life
and real[Am]ize there's nothing left
'Cause [F]I've been blastin' and [G]laughin' so [F]long
That [E]everyone thinks my [Am]mind is gone
But I ain't [F]never crossed a man
that [Dm]didn't deserve it
To be [E]treated like a punk,
you [Am]know that's unheard of
You'd [F]better watch how you're talkin'
[G]and where you're wal[F]kin'
'Cause [E]this life will
only leave you [Am]lined in chalk

[Chorus 1]
[F]Been spendin' mos[Dm]t of life
Livin' [E]in a gangster's [Am]paradise
[F]Been spendin' mos[G]t of lif[F]e
Livin' [E]in a gangster's [Am]paradise

[Verse 2]
For[F]get the situation they [Dm]got me facin'
I can't [E]live a normal life,
I was [Am]raised by the stripes
So I [F]gotta be down with the [G]hood [F]team
These [E]television watchin'
got me [Am]chasin' dreams
[F]Death ain't nothing but a [Dm]heartbeat away
I'm [E]living life do or die, [Am]what can I say?
I'm [F]here right now, will I [G]see [F]tomorrow?
The [E]way things are goin' I don't [Am]know

[Bridge 1]
Tell me [F]why are [Dm]we
So [E]blind to [Am]see
That the [F]ones we [Dm]hurt
Are [E]you and [Am]me (Tell me!)

[Chorus 2]
[F]Been spendin' mos[Dm]t of life
Livin' [E]in a gangster's [Am]paradise
[F]Been spendin' mos[G]t of lif[F]e
Livin' [E]in a gangster's [Am]paradise
[F]Been spendin' mos[Dm]t of life
Livin' [E]in a gangster's [Am]paradise
[F]Been spendin' mos[G]t of lif[F]e
Livin' [E]in a gangster's paradise

[Bridge 2]
[Am]Power and the money,
money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's runnin',
but half of them ain't lookin'
What's going on in the kitchen,
but I don't know what's cookin'
They [Am]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 I'm fucked

[Solo 1]
That's how I know my life is out of luck
[F][Dm][E][Am]
[F][G][F][E]

[Chorus 3]
[F]Been spendin' mos[Dm]t of life
Livin' [E]in a gangster's [Am]paradise
[F]Been spendin' mos[G]t of lif[F]e
Livin' [E]in a gangster's [Am]paradise
[F]Been spendin' mos[Dm]t of life
Livin' [E]in a gangster's [Am]paradise
[F]Been spendin' mos[G]t of lif[F]e
Livin' [E]in a gangster's [Am]paradise

[Bridge 3]
[F]Why are [G]we
So [E]blind to [Am]see
That the [F]ones we [G]hurt
[F]Are you[E] and me

[Outro 1]
