| [00:12.760] |
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death |
| [00:15.440] |
I take a look at my life and realise there's nuthin' left |
| [00:18.510] |
'Cuz I've been blasting and laughing so long, that |
| [00:21.760] |
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone |
| [00:24.550] |
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it |
| [00:27.340] |
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of |
| [00:30.850] |
You better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking |
| [00:33.780] |
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk |
| [00:36.590] |
I really hate to trip but i gotta loc |
| [00:39.430] |
As I Grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool |
| [00:43.000] |
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like |
| [00:45.640] |
on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight. |
| [00:48.300] |
|
| [00:49.200] |
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [00:55.390] |
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [01:01.200] |
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [01:07.040] |
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [01:12.270] |
|
| [01:12.950] |
The getto situation, they got me facin' |
| [01:15.770] |
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes |
| [01:18.660] |
So I gotta be down with the hood team |
| [01:21.660] |
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams |
| [01:24.560] |
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind |
| [01:27.650] |
Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye |
| [01:30.600] |
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger |
| [01:33.670] |
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool |
| [01:36.510] |
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away, |
| [01:39.780] |
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say |
| [01:43.000] |
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24 |
| [01:45.960] |
The way things are going I don't know |
| [01:47.900] |
|
| [01:48.790] |
Tell me why are we, so blind to see |
| [01:54.600] |
That the one's we hurt, are you and me |
| [02:01.250] |
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [02:07.200] |
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [02:13.270] |
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [02:19.070] |
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [02:24.820] |
Power and the money, money and the power |
| [02:27.960] |
Minute after minute, hour after hour |
| [02:30.440] |
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking |
| [02:33.590] |
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin' |
| [02:36.850] |
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me |
| [02:39.850] |
If they can't undersstand it, how can they reach me |
| [02:43.300] |
I guess they can't, I guess they won't |
| [02:45.700] |
I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool |
| [02:48.679] |
