[00:26.02] As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

[00:28.76] I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left

[00:32.02] 'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long that

[00:35.26] Even my momma thinks that my mind is gone

[00:37.50] But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it

[00:40.76] Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of

[00:44.51] You better watch how you talkin' and where you walkin'

[00:47.26] Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk

[00:50.26] I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc

[00:53.51] As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke

[00:56.26] Fool, I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like

[00:59.02] On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight

[01:02.25] Been spendin' most their lives

[01:05.02] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

[01:08.50] Been spendin' most their lives

[01:23.01] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

[01:26.27] Look at the situation they got me facing

[01:29.27] I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street

[01:32.27] So I gotta be down with the hood team

[01:35.26] Too much television watchin', got me chasing dreams

[01:38.01] I'm a educated fool with money on my mind

[01:41.01] Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye

[01:44.01] I'm a loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger

[01:47.00] And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger

[01:49.76] Fool, death ain't nothin' but a heart beat away

[01:53.02] I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say?

[01:56.26] I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24?

[01:59.25] The way things is going I don't know

[02:02.02] Tell me why are we so blind to see

[02:05.27] That the ones we hurt are you and me?

[02:29.26] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

[02:32.76] Keep spendin' most our lives

[02:35.01] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

[02:38.27] Power and the money, money and the power

[02:41.26] Minute after minute, hour after hour

[02:44.27] Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'

[02:47.01] It's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'

[02:50.26] They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me

[02:53.25] If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?

[02:56.51] I guess they can't, I guess they won't

[02:59.02] I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool

[03:03.26] Been spendin' most their lives
