As I walk thru the valley of the of death I take a look at my life and realize there's left I've been brassin' and laughin' so long that Even my Mama thinks that my is gone But I never crossed a man that deserve it Me be treated a punk, you know that's unheard of You'd better watch how you talkin', and where you're Or you and your homies might be a chap I hate to check but I gotta look As they I see myself in the pistals smoke ... fool I'm the kind of cheater little homies be like On my knees in the night, prayers in the street light
Been spending most their lives in the gangsta's paradise spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives in the gangsta's paradise
They got the situation, they got me I can't live with no right, I was raised by the street So I be damned with the hood team Too television watchin' got me chasin' dreams I'm a educated fool with money on my Got my 10 in my hand and a in my eye I'm a out placeto certain trippin' banker And my homing is down so don't my anger ... fool Dead bay nothin' but a heart away I'm light, do or die, what can I say I'm 23 now but I live to see 24 The way things is goin' I don't
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 in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the paradise
The Power and the money, money and the Minute minute, hour after hour Everybody's money, but half of ain't lookin' It's goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's They say I've got to learn but there to teach me If they understand how can they reach me I guess they I guess they I guess they That's why I my life is out of luck for
Been spending most lives living in the gangsta's paradise Been spending their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our 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 ...
