[00:12.02]As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
[00:14.67]I take a look at my life
[00:16.34]And realize there's not much left
[00:18.03]'Coz I've been blastin' and laughin' so long that
[00:21.11]Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
[00:23.62]But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
[00:26.82]Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
[00:30.14]You better watch how you're talkin' and where you're walkin'
[00:32.91]Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
[00:36.11]I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
[00:38.78]As I grow I see myself in the pistol smoke fool
[00:41.94]I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
[00:44.99]On my knees in the night sayin' prayers in the streetlight
[00:48.68]Been spendin' most their lives
[00:50.92]Livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[00:54.44]Been spendin' most their lives
[00:56.75]Livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[01:00.46]Keep spendin' most our lives
[01:02.87]Livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[01:06.38]Keep spendin' most our lives
[01:08.70]Livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[01:11.93]They got the situation they got me facin'
[01:14.85]I can't live a normal life I was raised by the stripes
[01:18.08]So I gotta be down with the hood team
[01:20.76]Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
[01:23.86]I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
[01:26.81]Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
[01:29.96]I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
[01:32.75]And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger fool
[01:36.18]Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away
[01:38.76]I'm livin' life do or die what can I say
[01:42.02]I'm twenty-three now but will I live to see twenty-four
[01:45.04]The way things are going I don't know
[01:47.32]Tell me why are we so blind to see
[01:53.42]That the one's we hurt are you and me
[02:00.76]Been spendin' most their lives
[02:02.82]Livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:06.42]Been spendin' most their lives
[02:08.73]Livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:12.45]Keep spendin' most our lives
[02:14.75]Livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:18.45]Keep spendin' most our lives
[02:20.78]Livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:23.97]Power and the money money and the power
[02:26.96]Minute after minute hour after hour
[02:29.96]Everybody's runnin' but half of them ain't lookin'
[02:32.82]What's going on in the kitchen but I don't know what's cookin'
[02:35.91]They say I gotta learn but nobody's here to teach me
[02:39.00]If they can't understand it how can they reach me
[02:42.37]I guess they can't I guess they won't
[02:44.56]I guess they front that's why
[02:46.12]I know my life is out of luck fool
[02:48.33]Been spendin' most their lives
[02:50.69]Livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[02:54.33]Been spendin' most their lives
[02:56.71]Livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[03:00.33]Keep spendin' most our lives
[03:02.70]Livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[03:06.29]Keep spendin' most our lives
[03:08.76]Livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[03:11.22]Tell me why are we so blind to see
[03:17.18]That the one's we hurt are you and me
[03:23.23]Tell me why are we so blind to see
[03:29.19]That the one's we hurt are you and me
