As I walk through the valley of the shadow of deathI take a look at my life and realize there's none left'Cause I've been brassing and laughing so long thatEven my mamma thinks that my mind is goneBut I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve itMe be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard ofYou better watch how you talking, and where you walkingOr you and your homies might be lined in chalkI really hate to trip but I gotta lopeAs they croak I see myself in the pistal smoke foolI'm the kinda G that little homies want to be likeOn my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street lightThey been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradiseThey been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradiseWe keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradiseWe keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradiseThey got the situation, they got me facingI can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripSo I gotta be down with the hood teamToo much television watching got me chasing dreamsI'm a educated fool with money on my mindGot my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eyeI'm a loped out gangsta set trippin bangerAnd my homies is down so gonna rouse my anger foolSongtexteDeath aint nothing but a heart beat awayI'm living life do or die, what can I sayI'm twenty three never will I live to see 24The way things is going I don't knowTell me why are we so blind to seeThat the ones we hurt are you and me.They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradiseThey been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradiseWe keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradiseWe keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradisePower and the money, money and the powerMinute after minute, hour after hourEverybody's running, but half of them ain't lookingWhat's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookingThey say I've got to learn but nobody's here to teach meIf they can't understand it, how can they reach meI guess they can'tI guess they won'tI guess they frontThat's why I know my life is out of luck foolThey been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradiseThey been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradiseWe keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradiseWe keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradiseTell me why are we so blind to seeThat the ones we hurt are you and me.Tell me why are we so blind to seeThat the ones we hurt are you and me.
