| [00:18.00] |
As I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death |
| [00:19.65] |
I take a look at my life and realize there's much left' |
| [00:21.27] |
Cause I've been brassin' and laughin' so long that |
| [00:22.59] |
Even my Mama thinks that my mind is gone |
| [00:23.88] |
But I never crossed a man that didn't deserve it |
| [00:24.96] |
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of |
| [00:27.15] |
You'd better watch how you talkin', and where you're walkin' |
| [00:29.04] |
Or you and your homies might be like a chap |
| [00:30.54] |
I really hate to check but |
| [00:31.50] |
I gotta look |
| [00:32.01] |
As they croak |
| [00:32.97] |
I see myself in the pistals smoke ... fool |
| [00:34.86] |
I'm the kind of cheater little homies wanna be like |
| [00:36.51] |
On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the street light |
| [00:37.92] |
Been spending most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise |
| [00:45.09] |
Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [00:47.55] |
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [00:59.01] |
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [01:06.30] |
They got the situation, they got me facin' |
| [01:07.17] |
I can't live with no more right, |
| [01:08.07] |
I was raised by the street |
| [01:08.79] |
So I gotta be damned with the hood team |
| [01:09.96] |
Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams |
| [01:13.26] |
I'm a educated fool with money on my mind |
| [01:14.58] |
Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye |
| [01:18.60] |
I'm a loped out placeto certain trippin' banker |
| [01:20.64] |
And my homing is down so don't arouse my anger ... fool |
| [01:22.08] |
Dead bay nothin' but a heart beat away |
| [01:23.10] |
I'm livin' light, do or die, what can |
| [01:25.20] |
I sayI'm 23 now but will |
| [01:26.04] |
I live to see 24 |
| [01:27.24] |
The way things is goin' |
| [01:27.66] |
I don't know |
| [01:28.05] |
Tell me why are we so blind to see |
| [01:30.27] |
That the ones we hurt are you and me |
| [01:32.07] |
Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [01:34.65] |
Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [01:36.36] |
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [01:45.81] |
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [01:54.81] |
The Power and the money, money and the power |
| [01:56.76] |
Minute after minute, hour after hour |
| [02:00.33] |
Everybody's money, but half of them ain't lookin' |
| [02:03.03] |
It's goin' on in the kitchen, but |
| [02:04.05] |
I don't know what's cooking |
| [02:05.22] |
They say I've got to learn but nobody's there to teach me |
| [02:11.43] |
If they can't understand how can they reach me |
| [02:15.09] |
I guess they can't |
| [02:15.69] |
I guess they won't |
| [02:16.05] |
I guess they front |
| [02:16.47] |
That's why |
| [02:16.65] |
I know my life is out of luck for |
| [02:17.73] |
Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [02:22.68] |
Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [02:24.45] |
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [02:26.46] |
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise |
| [02:33.60] |
Tell me why are we so blind to see |
| [02:43.32] |
That the ones we hurt are you and me |
| [02:57.72] |
Tell me why are we so blind to see |
| [03:04.98] |
That the ones we hurt are you and me ... |
