As I walk thru the valley of the of death I take a look at my life and realize there's left 'Cause I've been brassin' and so long that Even my Mama thinks that my is gone But I never crossed a man didn't deserve it Me be treated a punk, you know that's unheard of You'd watch how you talkin', and where you're walkin' Or you and your homies might be a chap I hate to check but I gotta look As they I see myself in the pistals smoke ... fool I'm the kind of cheater little homies be like On my in the night, sayin' prayers in the street light
Been spending most their lives livin' in the gangsta's Been spending most their lives living in the paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the paradise Keep spending most our living in the gangsta's paradise
got the situation, they got me facin' I can't live with no right, I was raised by the street So I gotta be damned the hood team Too much watchin' got me chasin' dreams I'm a educated with money on my mind Got my 10 in my and a gleam in my eye I'm a out placeto certain trippin' banker And my homing is down so don't my anger ... fool bay nothin' but a heart beat away 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
me why are we so blind to see That the ones we are you and me
Been spending most their lives in the gangsta's paradise Been spending their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the paradise
The Power and the money, money and the Minute after minute, after hour Everybody's money, but half of ain't lookin' goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking They say I've got to learn but there to teach me If they can't understand how can they me I guess they I they won't I they front That's why I know my life is out of for
Been spending most their lives living in the paradise Been most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives in the gangsta's paradise
me why are we so blind to see That the ones we are you and me Tell me why are we so to see That the we hurt are you and me ...
