You want to tell me what this is all about
|
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
|
I take a look at my life and realize there's notin left
|
Cause I've been blastin' and laughin so long that
|
Even my ma'ma thinks that my mind is gone
|
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
|
Me, be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
|
You better watch how you talkin, and where you walkin
|
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
|
I really hate to trip, but I gotta lob
|
As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
|
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
|
On my knees in the night
|
Sayin' prayers in the street light
|
Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
|
Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
|
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
|
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
|
They got the situation, they got me facin'
|
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the strip
|
So I gotta be down with the hood team
|
Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
|
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
|
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
|
I'm a loc'ed out gangsta, set trippin banger
|
And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool
|
Death ain't nuthin but a heart beat away
|
I'm livin life do or die a, what can I say
|
I'm twenty three now, but will I live to see twenty fow'
|
The way things are goin' I don't know
|
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
|
That the ones we hurt, are you and me
|
Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
|
Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
|
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
|
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
|
Power and the money, money and the power
|
Minute after minute, hour after hour
|
Everybody's runnin, but half of them ain't lookin
|
What's goin on in the kitchen, but I dont know what's cookin
|
They say I got ta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
|
If they cant understand it, how can they reach me
|
I guess they can't I guess they won't
|
I guess they front that's why I know my life is outta luck, fool
|
Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
|
Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
|
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
|
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
|
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
|
That the ones we hurt, are you and me
|
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
|
That the ones we hurt, are you and me
|
