G#As I walk through the valley
Fmof the shadow of death
GI take a look at my life
Cmand realize there's nothing left
G#Cause I've been blasting
Fmand laughing so long that
GEven my momma thinks
Cmthat my mind is gone
G#But I aint never crossed a man
Fmthat didn't deserve it
CMe be treated like a punk,
Cmyou know that's unheard of
G#You better watch how you talking,
Fmand where you walking
GOr you and your homies
Cmmight be lined in chalk
G#I really hate to trip
Fmbut I gotta loc
GAs they croak I see myself
Cmin the pistol smoke ... fool
G#I'm the kinda that little

Cmsaying prayers in the street light

Fmthey got me facing
GI can't live a normal life,

Cmwatching got me chasing dreams
G#I'm an educated fool
Fmwith money on my mind
GGot my 10 in my hand
Cmand a gleam in my eye
G#I'm a locked out gangsta
Fmset trippin banger
GAnd my homies are down
