As I walk the valley of the shadow of death I take a at my life and realize there's not much left 'Coz I've been blastin' and laughin' so long, Even my mama that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that deserve it Me be treated like a you know that's unheard of You better how you're talkin', and where you're walkin' Or you and homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to but I gotta, loc As I grow I see myself in the smoke, fool I'm the kinda G the little homies be like On my in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight
Been spendin' most their lives, in the gangsta's paradise Been spendin' most their lives, in the gangsta's paradise Keep spendin' most our lives, in the gangsta's paradise Keep most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
They got the situation, they got me I can't live a normal life, I was by the stripes So I gotta be down with the hood Too much television got me chasin' dreams
I'm an educated fool money on my mind Got my 10 in my hand and a in my eye I'm a out gangsta set trippin' banger And my homies is down so arouse my anger, fool
Death ain't but a heartbeat away I'm life, do or die, what can I say I'm now, but will I live to see twenty-four The way are going I don't know
Tell me why are we, so to see That the we hurt, are you and me
spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Been spendin' their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the paradise spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Power and the money, money and the Minute after minute, hour after runnin', but half of them ain't lookin' What's going on in the kitchen, but I know what's cookin'
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's to teach me If they can't understand it, how can reach me I they can't, I guess they won't I guess they front, why I know my life is out of luck, fool
Been most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Been spendin' most lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the paradise
me why are we, so blind to see That the we hurt, are you and me Tell me why are we, so to see That the we hurt, are you and me
