As I walk the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize there's left 'Cause I've been and laughin' so long that Even my Mama thinks that my is gone But I never crossed a man didn't deserve it Me be treated like a punk, you that's unheard of You'd better watch how you talkin', and where walkin' Or you and homies might be like a chap I really to check but I gotta look As they I see myself 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 paradise Been spending most their living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending our lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our living in the gangsta's paradise
They got the situation, got me facin' I can't live no more right, I was raised by the street So I gotta be damned with the team 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 trippin' banker And my homing is down so don't arouse my anger ... Dead bay but a heart beat away I'm livin' light, do or die, can I say I'm 23 now but will I to see 24 The way is goin' I don't know
me why are we so blind to see That the we hurt are you and me
Been most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's Keep spending most our lives in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
The Power and the money, money and the Minute after minute, hour hour Everybody's money, but of them ain't lookin' It's on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking They say I've got to learn but nobody's there to me If they understand how can they reach me I guess they I guess they I guess they why I know my life is out of luck for
Been spending most their lives in the gangsta's paradise Been spending most their living in the gangsta's paradise spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
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 ...
