As I walk thru the of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and there's much left 'Cause I've brassin' and laughin' so long that Even my Mama thinks that my mind is But I never crossed a man didn't deserve it Me be treated a punk, you know that's unheard of better watch how you talkin', and where you're walkin' Or you and homies might be like a chap I really to check but I gotta look As they I see myself in the pistals smoke ... fool I'm the kind of cheater little wanna be like On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the light
Been spending most their lives livin' in the gangsta's Been spending most their lives living in the paradise spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our living in the gangsta's paradise
They got the situation, they got me I can't live no more right, I was raised by the street So I gotta be with the hood team Too much television watchin' got me chasin' I'm a educated fool money on my mind Got my 10 in my and a gleam in my eye I'm a loped out placeto trippin' banker And my is down so don't arouse my anger ... fool Dead bay but a heart beat away I'm light, do or die, what can I say I'm 23 now but I live to see 24 The way is goin' I don't know
me why are we so blind to see That the we hurt are you and me
Been spending most lives living in the gangsta's paradise spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our living in the gangsta's paradise

Been spending most their lives living in the paradise Been spending most their living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives living in the paradise
