[00:12.88]
[00:24.08]As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
[00:26.51]I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
[00:30.01]'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long
[00:32.25]That everyone thinks my mind is gone
[00:35.73]But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
[00:38.72]To be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
[00:41.50]You'd better watch how you're talkin' and where you're walkin'
[00:44.54]'Cause this life will only leave you lined in chalk
[00:48.27]Been spendin' most of life
[00:50.48]Livin' in a gangster's paradise
[00:54.16]Been spending most of life
[00:56.40]Livin' in a gangster's paradise
[01:00.04]Forget the situation they got me facin'
[01:02.38]I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes
[01:05.41]So I gotta be down with the hood team
[01:07.95]These television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
[01:11.69]Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away
[01:14.38]I'm living life do or die, what can I say?
[01:17.71]I'm here right now, will I see tomorrow?
[01:20.60]The way things are goin' I don't know
[01:23.39]Tell me why are we
[01:26.12]So blind to see
[01:29.23]That the ones we hurt
[01:32.16]Are you and me (Tell me!)
[01:36.00]Been spendin' most of life
[01:38.24]Livin' in a gangster's paradise
[01:41.88]Been spending most of life
[01:44.32]Livin' in a gangster's paradise
[01:47.95]Been spendin' most of life
[01:50.24]Livin' in a gangster's paradise
[01:53.87]Been spending most of life
[01:56.21]Livin' in a gangster's paradise
[02:00.12]Power and the money, money and the power
[02:03.06]Minute after minute, hour after hour
[02:06.05]Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'
[02:08.89]What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'
[02:11.99]They say I gotta learn
[02:13.18]But nobody's here to teach me
[02:14.92]If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
[02:18.06]I guess they can't
[02:19.40]I guess they won't
[02:20.79]I guess I'm fucked
[02:21.69]That's how I know my life is out of luck
[02:36.35]Been spendin' most of life
[02:38.54]Livin' in a gangster's paradise
[02:42.12]Been spending most of life
[02:44.52]Livin' in a gangster's paradise
[02:48.15]Been spendin' most of life
[02:50.49]Livin' in a gangster's paradise
[02:54.12]Been spending most of life
[02:56.51]Livin' in a gangster's paradise
[03:00.11]Why are we
[03:02.25]So blind to see
[03:05.28]That the ones we hurt
[03:08.22]Are you and me
