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 long Even my thinks that my mind is gone But I never crossed a man that deserve it Me be treated like a punk, you that's unheard of You'd better watch how you talkin', and where you're Or you and homies might be like a chap I really hate to but I gotta look As croak I see myself in the pistals smoke ... fool I'm the kind of cheater little wanna be like On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the light
Been spending most their lives livin' in the gangsta's Been spending most lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending our lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
got the situation, they got me facin' I can't live with no more right, I was raised by the So I gotta be damned with the hood Too television watchin' got me chasin' dreams I'm a educated fool money on my mind Got my 10 in my hand and a in my eye I'm a loped out placeto certain trippin' And my is down so don't arouse my anger ... fool bay nothin' 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 is goin' I don't know
Tell me why are we so to see That the we hurt are you and me
Been spending most their living in the gangsta's paradise Been most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our living in the gangsta's paradise
The Power and the money, money and the Minute minute, hour after hour money, but half of them ain't lookin' It's goin' on in the kitchen, but I know what's cooking They say got to learn but nobody's there to teach me If can't understand how can they reach me I guess can't I guess they I guess they That's why I know my life is out of for
Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's Been most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's
me why are we so blind to see That the ones we are you and me me why are we so blind to see That the we hurt are you and me ...
