As I walk thru the valley of the shadow of I take a look at my life and there's much 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 like a punk, you know that's unheard of better watch how you talkin', and where you're walkin' Or you and your homies might be a chap I really hate to but I gotta look As they croak I see in the pistals smoke ... fool 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 living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the paradise
They got the situation, they got me I live with no more right, I was raised by the street So I gotta be damned with the hood Too television watchin' got me chasin' dreams I'm a fool with money on my mind Got my 10 in my and a gleam in my eye I'm a loped out placeto certain trippin' And my homing is down so 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 will I to see 24 The way is goin' I don't know

spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Been spending most lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
The and the money, money and the power Minute after minute, after hour Everybody's money, but half of them lookin' It's goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know cooking They say I've got to learn but nobody's there to me If can't understand how can they reach me I they can't I guess they I they front That's why I know my is out of luck for
Been most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Been spending most their lives in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's Keep spending most our living in the gangsta's paradise
