For the intro I pick the bottom two strings (G & C) with the chords.
But that's just a suggestion.

Intro:
   
Verse:
As I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and
realize there's nothin' left
Cause I've been blasting and
laughing so long,
That even my mama thinks that my
mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man
that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk you
know that's unheard of
You better watch how you're
talking and where you're walking
Or you and your homies might be
lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I
gotta loc
As they croak, I see myself in
the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G the little
homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night saying
prayers in the streetlight
Chorus:
Been spending most their lives,
living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives,
living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives,
living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives,
living in the gangsta's paradise
The chords are the same throughout, rinse and repeat the above! ^
Look at the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger,
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
The way things are going I don't know
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Chorus:
Verse:
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
They 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 they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
Chorus:
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
