As I walk the valley of the shadow of death I take a at my life and realize there's much left 'Cause I've been brassin' and laughin' so that Even my Mama thinks 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 how you talkin', and where you're walkin' Or you and your might be like a chap I really to check but I gotta look As croak I see myself in the pistals smoke ... fool I'm the of cheater little homies wanna be like On my in the night, sayin' prayers in the street light
Been spending most their lives in the gangsta's paradise Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's Keep spending our lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's
They got the situation, they got me I can't with no more right, I was raised by the street So I be damned with the hood team Too much television watchin' got me chasin' I'm a educated fool with on my mind Got my 10 in my and a gleam in my eye I'm a loped out placeto certain banker And my homing is down so don't arouse my anger ... Dead bay nothin' but a heart beat I'm livin' light, do or die, can I say I'm 23 now but I live to see 24 The way things is goin' I know
Tell me why are we so to see the ones we hurt are you and me
Been spending most their lives living in the paradise Been spending most their lives living in the paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the paradise Keep spending our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
The and the money, money and the power Minute after minute, hour hour Everybody's money, but half of them ain't goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking They say got to learn but nobody's there to teach me If they can't how can they reach me I guess can't I they won't I guess front That's why I my life is out of luck for
Been spending most their lives living in the paradise Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's 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 ones we are you and me ...
