文本歌词

As I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life
And realise there's nuthin' left
'Cuz I've been blasting
And laughing so long that
Even my mama thinks
That my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man
That didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk
You know that's unheard of
You better watch how you're talking
And where you're walking
Or you and your homies
Might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip
But I gotta loc
As I grow I see myself
In the pistol smoke fool
I'm the kinda g the
Little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night
Saying prayers in the streetlight
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
The getto situation
They got me facin'
I can't live a normal life
I was raised by the stripes
So I gotta be down
With the hood team
Too much television watching
Got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool
With money on my mind
Got my tin in my hand
And a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out
gangsta set trippin' banger
And my homies is down
So don't arouse my anger fool
Death ain't nothing
But a heartbeat away
I'm living life
Do or die what can I say
I'm 23 now but will
I live to see 24
The way things are going I don't know
Tell me why are we
So blind to see
That the one's we hurt
Are you and me
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Power and the money
Money and the power
Minute after minute
Hour after hour
Everybody's running
But half of them ain't looking
What's going on in the kitchen
But I don't know what's cookin'
They say I gotta learn
But nobody's here to teach me
If they can't undersstand it
How can they reach me
I guess they can't
I guess they won't
I guess they front that's
Why I know my
Life is out of luck fool
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Tell me why are we
So blind to see
That the one's we hurt
Are you and me
Tell me why are we
So blind to see
That the one's we hurt
Are you and me
