As I thru the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize there's much 'Cause I've been brassin' and so long that Even my Mama that my mind is gone But I never crossed a man didn't deserve it Me be like a punk, you know that's unheard of You'd better watch how you talkin', and where walkin' Or you and your might be like a chap I hate to check but I gotta look As they croak I see myself in the pistals smoke ... I'm the kind of cheater little homies be like On my knees in the night, sayin' in the street light
Been spending most their lives livin' in the gangsta's Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's Keep spending most our lives in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's
They got the situation, they got me I can't live no more right, I was raised by the street So I be damned with the hood team Too much television watchin' got me dreams I'm a educated fool with on my mind Got my 10 in my and a gleam in my eye I'm a loped out placeto certain banker And my homing is down so arouse my anger ... fool bay nothin' but a heart beat away I'm livin' light, do or die, can I say I'm 23 now but I live 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 spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending our lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the paradise
The and the money, money and the power Minute after minute, hour after Everybody's money, but half of them ain't goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking They say got to learn but nobody's there to teach me If they can't how can they reach me I guess can't I they won't I guess they That's why I know my life is out of for
Been spending most their lives in the gangsta's paradise Been spending most lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the 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 Tell me why are we so to see That the we hurt are you and me ...
