As I walk the valley of the shadow of death I take a at my life and realize there's much left 'Cause been brassin' and laughin' so long that my Mama thinks that my mind is gone But I crossed a man that didn't deserve it Me be like a punk, you know that's unheard of You'd better how you talkin', and where you're walkin' Or you and your homies might be like a I really to check but I gotta look As they croak I see in the pistals smoke ... fool I'm the kind of cheater little wanna be like On my knees in the night, prayers in the street light
Been spending most their lives livin' in the gangsta's Been spending their lives living in the gangsta's paradise spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's
got the situation, they got me facin' I can't with no more right, I was raised by the street So I gotta be damned with the hood Too much watchin' got me chasin' dreams I'm a educated fool with on my mind Got my 10 in my and a gleam in my eye I'm a out placeto certain trippin' banker And my homing is so don't arouse my anger ... fool Dead bay nothin' but a heart beat 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

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