As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize nothings left Cause Ive been blasting and laughing so long that even My mama thinks my minds gone but I aint never crossed A man that didnt deserve it. Me be treated like a punk, you never unheard of You better watch how youre talking and where youre walking Or you and your homies might lined the chalked
I really hate the trip but I gotta loc As the croak I see myself in the pistol smoke Fool! Im the kinda g that little homies wanna be like All my knees in the night Saying prayers in the street light..
( chorus ) Been spending most of our lives living in the gangstas paradise (x2) Keep spending most of our lives living in the gangstas paradise (x2)
Look at the situation, they got me facing I can never live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes So I gotta be down with the hood team Too much television watching got me chasing dreams Im a educated fool with money on my mind Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye Im a locd gangsta set trippin banger And my homies is down so dont arouse my anger Fool! death aint nothing but a heartbeat away Im living life, do or die what can I say Im twenty-three now , will I ever see twenty-four The way things are going I dont know
Tell me why are we so blind to see That the ones we hurt are you and me ( chorus )
Power in the money , money in the power Minute after minute, hour after hour Everybodys running but half aint looking Whats going on in the kitchen but dont know whats cookin They say I gotta learn but nobodys here to teach me I guess they cant , I guess they wont , I guess they fornt Thats why my life is outta love fool !
(chorus ) Tell me why are we so blind to see That the ones we hurt are you and me ( x2 )

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realise there's none left Cause I've been brassing and laughing so long that Even my mamma thinks that my mind is gone But I aint never crossed a man that didn't deserve it Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of You better watch how you talking, and where you walking Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk I really hate to trip but I gotta lope(?) As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke ... fool I'm the kinda G that little homies want to be like On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light
They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
They got the situation, they got me facing I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the strip So I gotta be down with the hood team Too much television watching got me chasing dreams I'm a educated fool with my knee on my mind Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm a loped(?) out gangsta set trippin banger And my homies is down so gonna rouse my anger ... fool Death aint nothing but a heart beat away I'm living life do or die, what can I say I'm 23 never will I live to see 24 The way things is going I don't know
Tell me why are we so blind to see That the ones we hurt are you and me.
Power and the money, money and the power Minute after minute, hour after hour Everybody's running, but half of them aint looking What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking They say I've got to learn but nobody's here to teach me If they can't understand it, how can they reach me I guess they can't I guess they won't I guess they front That's why I know my life is out of luck ... fool
