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 laughin' so that Even my Mama thinks my mind is gone But I never crossed a man didn't deserve it Me be treated a punk, you know that's unheard of better watch how you talkin', and where you're walkin' Or you and your might be like a chap I really hate to but I gotta look As they croak I see in the pistals smoke ... fool I'm the of cheater little homies wanna 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 lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the paradise spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
They got the situation, they got me I can't live with no more right, I was by the street So I gotta be damned with the hood Too much television watchin' got me dreams I'm a educated 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 don't my anger ... fool Dead bay but a heart beat away I'm light, do or die, what 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 Been most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending our lives living in the gangsta's paradise spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
The and the money, money and the power after minute, hour after hour Everybody's money, but half of ain't lookin' It's goin' on in the kitchen, but I know what's cooking They say I've got to but nobody's there to teach me If they can't understand how can they me I guess they I they won't I guess they That's why I my life is out of luck for
Been spending most their lives living in the paradise Been spending their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the 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 ...
