Verse 1
(A minor) (B minor) (D major) (A minor) A young boy
(D major) walked (A minor) down a city street (D major)
(A minor) And hope was in (E major) his (A minor) eyes
Proprietor of a broke rubber
and a coke (D major) runner
Today (A minor) pops is a jailbird
and she's (B minor) a broke mother
(A minor) But Sonny don't see none of that
though as (D major) he casually
Walks (A minor) down the street
still a virgin to (D major) reality
Saturday, (A minor) 2 p .m.,
sunshine sizz (D major) lin'
(A minor) Ball bouncin',
workin' on his left hand (D major) dribblin'
(A minor) Every park in the hood,
moms told him he could (D major) play at
Ex (A minor) cept the one on Dwyer,
cause that's where trouble (D major) stay at
His (A minor) girl texted him to come visit
Hit him with a picture,
male lookin' exquisite
He said, ooh, (D major) I'm on my (A minor) way right now
She said, (D major) it's me and Mariah,
we at the (A minor) park on Dwyer
He said, I'm (D major) comin' right by ya
(A minor) Walkin' past, hustlin',
stay (D major) gettin' that dough
Crack (A minor) houses on the left,
cata (D major) combin' to the liquor store
Run (A minor) down schools,
dice (D major) game up the street
Needles (A minor) on the ground, trash everywhere
But that ain't what he seek
He's still innocent, not (D major) tarnished a bit
A young (A minor) ghetto angel
walking through a (D major) fiery pit
As he pro (A minor) ceeded to the center
of the (D major) Garden of Eden
Miles (A minor) was at home on the sofa
with a Bible, (D major) read
(A minor) Walking through the valley
of the shadow of (D major) death
They always (A minor) trying to catch a slip
and gotta watch your step
(D major) So (A minor) keep your distance (D major) from the (A minor) crowd
We are not the (D major) same, I'm on a mission
Walk (A minor) in' through the valley
of the shadow of (B minor) death
They always (A minor) tryna catch a slip
and gotta watch your step
(B minor) So (A minor) keep your distance from (D major) the (A minor) crowd
We are not the same, I'm on (D major) a mission
The (A minor) court was full,
(D major) the sidelines was full of (A minor) the guidelines
But you try an (D major) d find an onlook (A minor) er
who got next
Or else you ride (D major) pine all day
Some (A minor) dudes come to the park
but don't (D major) never get to play
Anyway, (A minor) he saw his girl
then he gave her a (D major) hug
Not too (A minor) much PDA,
especially around these (D major) thugs
Somebody (A minor) said we running next shorty.
(D major) I got you just pass (A minor) me the rock
You heard me cuz I like to shoot
three minutes later.
He balling on the (D major) court
We're grown men back (A minor) an d forth
back and forth hard (D major) to tell
who gonna win
That's when (A minor) the dude who like to shoot
got (D major) five kind of flagrant.
He (A minor) fell to the pavement
got (D major) up retaliate
And they (A minor) went at it for a minute
was (D major) on the verge of fighting dude (A minor) said I'm
gonna fix this went (D major) to his car
And right then (A minor) shorty should have left
But he (D major) didn't big homie
emerged (A minor) from his Camaro
with a 40 cal Smith and Wesson,
but dude on (D major) the court didn't buy it
He (A minor) said, what you gon' kill me?
You ain't (D major) stupid, don't try it
(A minor) He let the lead pop, (D major) no head shots
Two to (A minor) the ankle,
now he lookin' like he (D major) playin' for the Red Sox
(A minor) One to the dreadlocks,
that was the (D major) en d
Shorty (A minor) lookin' from
the three -point line
Frozen, (D major) lost (A minor) innocence,
he'll never see (D major) the world the same
He ate (A minor) from a forbidden tree,
just (D major) tryin' to play the game
Who's (A minor) blame?
Walkin' through the valley
of the shadow of (B minor) death
They always (A minor) tryin' to catch
you slippin',
gotta watch your (D major) step
So (A minor) keep your distance from (D major) the (A minor) crowd
We are not the same, I'm on (D major) a mission
Walk (A minor) in' through the valley
of the shadow of (D major) death
They always (A minor) tryin' to catch
you slippin',
gotta watch your step
(B minor) So (A minor) keep your distance from (B minor) the (A minor) crowd
We are not the same, I'm (D major) on a mission
The (A minor) walk back home (D major) was somber
He tremblin' (A minor) like a fish in
the water with (D major) piranhas
Now he see (A minor) the hood
as a low -class (D major) dump with no promise
He (A minor) walk past her, yes,
we can't (D major) post her like, forget Obama
(A minor) That girl, she ain't a (D major) queen,
she's just a ghetto momma
(A minor) That dude, he ain't chillin', man,
he plottin' to rob
Yeah, that school full of (D major) dummies
teachin' dummies
That (A minor) nigga stole a bunch of A
-Rabs takin' our money, man
His girl picture didn't (D major) even
look the same
He said (A minor) she look so good,
she probably (D major) cheatin' on me, man
The (A minor) perils of reality finally
(D major) became apparent
Like (A minor) ghetto babies walkin'
all (D major) in the streets
without a parent
(A minor) But so what? You know what?
(D major) Guess it's time to grow up
(A minor) The world don't give a (D major) uh
about all your bad (A minor) luck
So stay down or rise (D major) up,
what's it gon' be?
He (A minor) walked in, his mama was read (D major) ing
Genesis, chapter 3
(A minor) A young boy (D major) walked
down (A minor) a city street (D major) (A minor)
And hope (D major) was in (A minor) his eye you
