Gangsta's Paradise(PagalWorld) (1)
[00:25.92] As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
[00:28.58] I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
[00:32.03] 'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long that
[00:35.07] Even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
[00:37.99] But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
[00:40.65] Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
[00:43.84] You better watch how you talkin' and where you walkin'
[00:47.03] Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
[00:50.21] I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc
[00:52.87] As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke
[00:55.79] Fool, I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
[00:58.98] On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight
[01:02.43] Been spendin' most their lives
[01:04.94] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

[01:28.60] I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street
[01:32.05] So I gotta be down with the hood team
[01:34.97] Too much television watchin', got me chasing dreams
[01:38.17] I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
[01:40.82] Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
[01:43.83] I'm a loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger
[01:46.75] And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger
[01:49.94] Fool, death ain't nothin' but a heart beat away
[01:52.86] I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say?
[01:56.05] I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24?

[02:41.02] Minute after minute, hour after hour
[02:44.22] Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'
[02:47.15] It's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
[02:50.07] They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
[02:52.99] If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
[02:56.19] I guess they can't, I guess they won't
[02:58.85] I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
