[00:23.616] |
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death |
[00:26.516] |
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left |
[00:29.807] |
'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long that |
[00:33.021] |
everyone thinks my mind is gone |
[00:35.607] |
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it |
[00:38.715] |
To be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of |
[00:41.902] |
You better watch how you talkin' |
[00:43.624] |
and where you walkin' |
[00:44.723] |
Cause this life'll leave you lined in chalk |
[00:48.381] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
[00:50.627] |
Livin' in the gangsta's paradise |
[00:54.284] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
[00:56.531] |
Livin' in the gangsta's paradise |
[00:59.848] |
Forget the situation they got me facin' |
[01:02.722] |
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes |
[01:05.674] |
So I gotta be down with the hood team |
[01:08.704] |
Cuz' television watchin' got me chasin' dreams |
[01:12.047] |
Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away |
[01:14.869] |
I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say? |
[01:17.951] |
I'm here right now, will I save tomorrow |
[01:20.955] |
The way things is goin' I don't know |
[01:23.254] |
Tell me why are we so blind to see |
[01:29.393] |
That the ones we hurt are you and me? |
[01:36.498] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
[01:38.588] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
[01:42.402] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
[01:44.596] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
[01:48.410] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
[01:50.604] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
[01:54.392] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
[01:56.638] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
[02:00.008] |
Power and the money, money and the power |
[02:03.065] |
Minute after minute, hour after hour |
[02:06.121] |
Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin' |
[02:08.681] |
what's goin' on in the kitchen |
[02:10.400] |
but I don't know what's cookin' |
[02:12.025] |
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me |
[02:15.368] |
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me? |
[02:18.268] |
I guess they can't, I guess they won't |
[02:20.514] |
I guess they frontin' |
[02:21.559] |
that's why I know my life is out of luck! |
[02:36.527] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
[02:38.539] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
[02:42.431] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
[02:44.652] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
[02:48.492] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
[02:50.581] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
[02:54.421] |
Been spendin' most of my life |
[02:56.642] |
Livin' in a gangsta's paradise |
[03:00.012] |
Why are we so blind to see |
[03:05.288] |
That the ones we hurt are you and me? |
