[Intro]

[Verse 1]
G
Cm Ab Fm
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
G Cm
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
Ab Fm
Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long that
G Cm
Even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
Ab Fm
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
G
Me be treated like a punk,
Cm
you know that's unheard of
Ab
You better watch how you talking,
Fm
and where you walking
G Cm
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
Ab Fm
I really hate to trip but I gotta lob
G Cm
As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke fool
Ab Fm
I'm the kinda G that little homies want to be like
G
On my knees in the night,
Cm
saying prayers in the street light
[Chorus]
Ab Fm G
Weâve been spending most our lives living in the
Cm
gangsta's paradise
Ab Fm G
Weâve been spending most our lives living in the
Cm
gangsta's paradise
Ab Fm G
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's
Cm
paradise
Ab Fm G
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's
Cm
paradise
[Verse 2]
Ab
Look at the situation,
Fm
they got me facing
G
I can't live a normal life,
Cm
I was raised by the state
Ab Fm
So I gotta be down with the hood team
G Cm
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
Ab Fm
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
G Cm
Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
Ab Fm
I'm a locked out gangsta set trippin banger
G Cm
And my homies are down so don't arouse my anger fool
Ab Fm
Death ain't nothing but a heart beat away
G
I'm living life do or die,
Cm
what can I say
Ab Fm
I'm twenty three now will I ever live to see twenty four
G Cm
The way things is going I don't know
[Bridge]
Ab Fm G Cm
Tell me why are we so blind to see
Ab Fm G Cm
That the ones we hurt are you and me.
[Chorus]
Ab Fm G
We've been spending most our lives living in the
Cm
gangsta's paradise
Ab Fm G
We've been spending most our lives living in the
Cm
gangsta's paradise
Ab Fm G
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's
Cm
paradise
Ab Fm G
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's
Cm
paradise
[Verse 3]
Ab Fm
Power in the money, money in the power
G Cm
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Ab
Everybody's running,
Fm
but half of them ain't looking
G
Itâs going on in the kitchen,
Cm
but I don't know what's cooking
Ab Fm
They say I've got to learn but nobody's here to teach me
G
If they can't understand it,
Cm
how can they reach me
Ab
I guess they can't
Fm
I guess they won't
G
I guess they front
Cm
That's why I know my life is out of luck fool
[Chorus]
Ab Fm G
We've been spending most our lives living in the
Cm
gangsta's paradise
Ab Fm G
We've been spending most our lives living in the
Cm
gangsta's paradise
Ab Fm G
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's
Cm
paradise
Ab Fm G
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's
Cm
paradise
[Bridge]
Ab Fm G Cm
Tell me why are we so blind to see
Ab Fm G Cm
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Ab Fm G Cm
Tell me why are we so blind to see
Ab Fm G Cm
That the ones we hurt are you and me.
