As I walk the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize there's much 'Cause been brassin' and laughin' so long that Even my thinks that my mind is gone But I never a man that didn't deserve it Me be treated a punk, you know that's unheard of You'd better watch how you talkin', and where 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 of cheater little homies wanna be like On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the street
Been spending most their lives livin' in the paradise Been spending most lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives in the gangsta's paradise Keep most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise

Been spending most their lives living in the paradise Been spending most their living in the gangsta's paradise spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our living in the gangsta's paradise
