Verse 1
F#m 
E 
F#m 
Dead man walkin'
Cut the chatter,
practice your right to remain
Silent as Christmas Eve
on the night Santa came
Em 
Cause you guilty,
lifestyle as dirty as they get
Holdin' tight to the mic
F#m 
but your rhymes is counterfeit
And this is it, judgment day,
with a jury hard as gravel
You'll get no remorse for the
swingin' of my gavel
Em 
Cause I hear you on a flat track,
representin' Christ
But seen you dancin' with
a Ninja Turtle,
F#m 
plus I'm cool as ice, you ain't a MC
You first came on the scene
tryin' to dance,
then you got your album cover
And stood your B -Boy stance,
Em 
got a pack of Kool -Aid,
and then proceeded to pour
But I heard you yesterday,
tryin' to come hardcore
F#m 
Rockin' mics with Christ and all them
Wild 7 kids
But it takes longer than a record
to forget the dirt you did
Em 
Say goodbye to yourself,
because the grave will be your bed
Inmates, say farewell,
F#m 
the man walkin' is dead
Dead man walkin', get out the chalkin'
Trace a silhouette and be soon to forget
Em 
The life of  a MC in facility correction
F#m 
Isolate his person alone, lethal injection
Dead man walking, get out the chalking
Trace a silhouette and be soon to forget
Em 
The life of  a MC
who attempts mic rocking
Isolate his person,
F#m 
he's a dead man walk  ing
I can feel it, velocity
and where your heart
should be
The punishment for using a producer
of some R &B
Em 
And then a skull on your record,
F#m 
come  on where you headed?
Em 
Judging days of your past,
F#m 
you was gassed like unleaded
Cause Christians is about
loving Christ
and staying true
Dissing somebody for selling out
when they reach more than you
Em 
What the deal?
Check in your pockets,
yo where's the cheddar?
It don't necessarily go to the man that
F#m 
rhymes bet   ter
Don't nobody care
about the love you got for hip -hop
It's all about being popular,
abbreviated pop
Em 
Cause your music ain't heard
without appealing to the masses
Why you think you all alone in
F#m 
rhymology classes?
It passes, from another
trend to a fad
Ain't nobody trying to forget
all the wack junk you had
Em 
Don't be mad,
you got what's coming to you in the finish
So load up the syringe
F#m 
for activity diminished
Dead man walkin', get out the jalkin'
Trace his silhouette and be soon to forget
Em 
F#m 
The life of  a MC in facility correction
Em 
F#m 
Isolate his personal on lethal injection
Dead man walkin', get out the jalkin'
Trace his silhouette and be soon to forget
Em 
The life of  a MC who
attempts mic rockin'
Isolate his personal,
F#m 
he's a dead man walkin'
Four walls encase my spiritual
due to my wild style
And the lost sinful
Em 
buried deep within my Christ fire
F#m 
It's the last walk now,
a slow step by step
Em 
F#m 
Thinking all the things I said just to get a rep
I know I'm innocent of
the charges on me
Concoctions of the derelict emcees
who fear the G .O .D
Em 
But if I must die,
I will die for the cause
Continue to change all these times
to bombard on shores
F#m 
Before you recite the last rites,
let me say my prayer
In the midnight hour,
I know my God still cares
Em 
Examine the exterior,
bring up the trivial, the inferior
F#m 
Try your best to annihilate the su    perior
I breath a while there, in my air,
my angels are here
Surround the prison each square,
here to there
Em 
The guard's eyes are blinded
from the glare
Live man walkin', sorry,
I'll never disappear
F#m 
Where's the dead man walkin',
put up the chalkin'
Cause he paid his debt,
don't be soon to forget
Em 
The life of  a MC professional,
mic rockin'
Killin' off the flesh,
F#m 
so he's a dead man walkin'
Dead man walkin', put up the chalkin'
Cause he paid his debt,
don't be soon to forget
Em 
The life of  a MC professional,
mic rockin'
Killing off the flesh so he's a dead
F#m 
man walking
