[00:11.96] As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
[00:14.53] I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
[00:17.97] 'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long, that
[00:21.08] Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
[00:23.73] But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
[00:26.66] Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
[00:29.84] You better watch how you're talkin', and where you're walkin'
[00:33.03] Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
[00:35.96] I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
[00:38.61] As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
[00:42.07] I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
[00:44.64] On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight
[00:48.50] Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[00:54.51] Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[01:00.08] Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[01:06.52] Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[01:11.93] Look at the situation they got me facin'
[01:14.66] I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street
[01:17.69] So I gotta be down with the hood team
[01:20.88] Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
[01:23.79] I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
[01:26.45] Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
[01:29.63] I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
[01:32.83] And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
[01:36.07] Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away
[01:38.76] I'm livin' life, do or die, what can I say
[01:42.08] I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?
[01:45.00] The way things is going, I don't know
[01:47.34] Tell me why are we, so blind to see
[01:53.35] That the ones we hurt, are you and me?
[02:00.50] Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:06.40] Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:12.48] Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:18.50] Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:23.98] Power and the money, money and the power
[02:27.17] Minute after minute, hour after hour
[02:30.08] Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'
[02:32.90] It's goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
[02:35.83] They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
[02:39.02] If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
[02:42.21] I guess they can't, I guess they won't
[02:44.86] I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
[02:48.58] Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:54.31] Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[03:00.16] Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[03:06.54] Keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[03:11.65] Tell me why are we, so blind to see
[03:17.39] That the ones we hurt, are you and me?
[03:23.50] Tell me why are we, so blind to see
[03:29.52] That the ones we hurt, are you and me?
