[00:11.89] As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
[00:14.89] I take a look at my life, and realize there's nothin' left
[00:18.39] 'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long
[00:20.92] That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
[00:23.93] But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
[00:26.99] Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
[00:30.25] You better watch how you talkin' and where you walkin'
[00:33.35] Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
[00:36.00] I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc
[00:39.10] As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke
[00:41.92] Fool, I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
[00:45.18] On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight
[00:48.66] Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[00:54.52] Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[01:00.52] Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[01:06.63] Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[01:12.29] Look at the situation they got me facin'
[01:15.18] I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street
[01:18.16] So I gotta be down with the hood team
[01:21.14] Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
[01:24.12] I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
[01:27.15] Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
[01:30.10] I'm a loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger
[01:33.08] And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger
[01:35.97] Fool, death ain't nothin' but a heart beat away
[01:39.08] I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say?
[01:42.25] I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?
[01:45.38] The way things is goin', I don't know
[01:47.62] Tell me why are we so blind to see
[01:53.76] That the ones we hurt are you and me?
[02:00.46] Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:06.62] Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:12.65] Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:18.55] Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:24.44] Power and the money, money and the power
[02:27.48] Minute after minute, hour after hour
[02:30.44] Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'
[02:33.19] It's goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
[02:36.32] They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
[02:39.35] If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
[02:42.69] I guess they can't, I guess they won't
[02:44.95] I guess they frontin', that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool!
[02:48.74] Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:54.64] Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[03:00.48] Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[03:06.56] Keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[03:11.76] Tell me why are we so blind to see
[03:17.77] That the ones we hurt are you and me?
[03:23.82] Tell me why are we so blind to see
[03:29.72] That the ones we hurt are you and me?
