As I walk thru the of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize there's left 'Cause I've been brassin' and laughin' so that Even my thinks that my mind is gone But I never crossed a man that deserve it Me be treated a punk, you know that's unheard of You'd better watch how you talkin', and where you're Or you and your homies might be a chap I really to check but I gotta look As they I see myself in the pistals smoke ... fool I'm the of cheater little homies wanna be like On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the street
Been spending most their livin' in the gangsta's paradise Been most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's Keep spending most our lives in the gangsta's paradise
They got the situation, they got me I live with no more right, I was raised by the street So I gotta be damned with the hood Too much television got me chasin' dreams I'm a fool with money on my mind Got my 10 in my and a gleam in my eye I'm a loped out placeto certain banker And my is down so don't arouse my anger ... fool Dead bay but a heart beat away I'm light, do or die, what can I say I'm 23 now but I live to see 24 The way things is I don't know
Tell me why are we so to see the ones we hurt are you and me
Been spending most lives living in the gangsta's paradise Been most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's Keep spending most our lives living in the paradise

Been most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Been spending most their lives living in the paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's Keep spending most our lives in the gangsta's paradise
