[00:12.459] |
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death |
[00:15.139] |
I take a look at my life and realise there's nuthin' left |
[00:18.209] |
'Cuz I've been blasting and laughing so long, that |
[00:21.459] |
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone |
[00:24.249] |
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it |
[00:27.38] |
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of |
[00:30.549] |
You better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking |
[00:33.480] |
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk |
[00:36.290] |
I really hate to trip but i gotta loc |
[00:39.130] |
As I Grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool |
[00:42.700] |
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like |
[00:45.340] |
on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight. |
[00:48.0] |
|
[00:48.900] |
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
[00:55.90] |
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
[01:00.900] |
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
[01:07.100] |
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
[01:11.970] |
|
[01:12.650] |
The getto situation, they got me facin' |
[01:15.470] |
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes |
[01:18.360] |
So I gotta be down with the hood team |
[01:21.360] |
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams |
[01:24.260] |
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind |
[01:27.350] |
Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye |
[01:30.300] |
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger |
[01:33.370] |
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool |
[01:36.210] |
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away, |
[01:39.480] |
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say |
[01:42.700] |
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24 |
[01:45.660] |
The way things are going I don't know |
[01:47.600] |
|
[01:48.490] |
Tell me why are we, so blind to see |
[01:54.300] |
That the one's we hurt, are you and me |
[02:00.950] |
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
[02:06.900] |
Been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
[02:12.969] |
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
[02:19.390] |
Keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise |
[02:24.518] |
Power and the money, money and the power |
[02:27.659] |
Minute after minute, hour after hour |
[02:30.138] |
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking |
[02:33.289] |
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin' |
[02:36.548] |
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me |
[02:39.548] |
If they can't undersstand it, how can they reach me |
[02:42.999] |
I guess they can't, I guess they won't |
[02:45.399] |
I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool |
[02:48.378] |
