| [00:23.616] |
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death |
| [00:26.516] |
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left |
| [00:29.807] |
'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long that |
| [00:33.021] |
everyone thinks my mind is gone |
| [00:35.607] |
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it |
| [00:38.715] |
To be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of |
| [00:41.902] |
You better watch how you talkin' |
| [00:43.624] |
and where you walkin' |
| [00:44.723] |
Cause this life'll leave you lined in chalk |
| [00:48.381] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
| [00:50.627] |
Livin' in the gangsta's paradise |
| [00:54.284] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
| [00:56.531] |
Livin' in the gangsta's paradise |
| [00:59.848] |
Forget the situation they got me facin' |
| [01:02.722] |
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes |
| [01:05.674] |
So I gotta be down with the hood team |
| [01:08.704] |
Cuz' television watchin' got me chasin' dreams |
| [01:12.047] |
Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away |
| [01:14.869] |
I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say? |
| [01:17.951] |
I'm here right now, will I save tomorrow |
| [01:20.955] |
The way things is goin' I don't know |
| [01:23.254] |
Tell me why are we so blind to see |
| [01:29.393] |
That the ones we hurt are you and me? |
| [01:36.498] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
| [01:38.588] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
| [01:42.402] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
| [01:44.596] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
| [01:48.410] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
| [01:50.604] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
| [01:54.392] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
| [01:56.638] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
| [02:00.008] |
Power and the money, money and the power |
| [02:03.065] |
Minute after minute, hour after hour |
| [02:06.121] |
Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin' |
| [02:08.681] |
what's goin' on in the kitchen |
| [02:10.400] |
but I don't know what's cookin' |
| [02:12.025] |
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me |
| [02:15.368] |
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me? |
| [02:18.268] |
I guess they can't, I guess they won't |
| [02:20.514] |
I guess they frontin' |
| [02:21.559] |
that's why I know my life is out of luck! |
| [02:36.527] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
| [02:38.539] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
| [02:42.431] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
| [02:44.652] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
| [02:48.492] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
| [02:50.581] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
| [02:54.421] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
| [02:56.642] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
| [03:00.012] |
Why are we so blind to see |
| [03:05.288] |
That the ones we hurt are you and me? |
