Gangsta_s Paradise(MP3_160K)

[00:11.67] As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

[00:14.42] I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left

[00:17.92] 'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long, that

[00:20.92] Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone

[00:23.67] But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it

[00:26.51] Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of

[00:29.92] You better watch how you're talkin'

[00:31.67] And where you're walkin'

[00:32.78] Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk

[00:35.88] I really hate to trip but I gotta loc

[00:38.67] As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke

[00:41.42] Fool!

[00:42.17] I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like

[00:44.67] On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight

[00:48.18] Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise

[00:54.42] Been spendin' most their lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise

[01:00.42] We keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise

[01:06.17] We keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise

[01:11.92] Look at the situation they got me facin'

[01:14.63] I can't live a normal life

[01:16.17] I was raised by the street

[01:17.67] So I gotta be down with the hood team

[01:20.67] Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams

[01:23.80] I'm an educated fool with money on my mind

[01:26.81] Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye

[01:29.80] I'm a loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger

[01:32.80] And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger

[01:35.59] Fool!

[01:36.22] Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away

[01:38.73] I'm livin' life, do or die, what can I say?

[01:41.72] I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?

[01:44.98] The way things is going, I don't know

[01:47.47] Tell me why are we so blind to see

[01:53.23] That the ones we hurt are you and me?

[02:18.22] We keep spendin' most our lives, livin' in the gangsta's paradise

[02:23.97] Power and the money

[02:25.48] Money and the power

[02:26.97] Minute after minute

[02:28.47] Hour after hour

[02:29.97] Everybody's runnin'

[02:31.47] But half of them ain't lookin'

[02:32.72] It's goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'

[02:35.97] They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me

[02:38.97] If they can't understand it, how can they reach me

[02:42.47] I guess they can't

[02:43.47] I guess they won't

[02:44.47] I guess they front

[02:45.47] That's why I know my life is out of luck

[02:47.73] Fool!
