Gangster Paradise歌词
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
Cause I've been blastin and laughing so long that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
He 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 loc
As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke fool
I'm the kinda G that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night
Sayin' prayers in the street light
Been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
Look at the situation they got me facin
I can't live a normal life I was raised by the street
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watchin' got me chasin dreams
I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loced-out gangsta set-trippin banger
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger fool
Death ain't nothing but a heart beat away o
I'm livin life do-or-die ah what can I say
I'm twenty-three now will I live to see twenty
The way things are goin I don't know
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
Power and the money money and the power
Minute after minute hour after hour
Everybody's running but half of them ain't lookin
What's goin on in the kitchen but I don't know what's cookin
They say I got ta 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 frontin that's why
I know my life is out of luck fool
Been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
Cause I've been blastin and laughing so long that
