Gangsta's Paradise |
one: |
As i walk through the valley of the shadow of death |
I take a look at my life and realize theres not much left |
Cuz ive been blastin and laughin so long |
That even my mama thinks that my mind is gone |
But i aint never crossed a man that didnt deserve it |
He be treated like a punk, you know that son heard up |
You better watch how you talkin and where you walkin |
Or you and your homiez might be lined in chalk |
I really hate to trip, but i gotta, loc |
As they cope, i see myself in the pistol smoke, fool |
Im the kinda g the little homiez wannabe like |
On my knees in the night |
Saying prayers in the street light |
We’ve been spending most our lives |
Living in the gangstas paradise |
two: |
They got the situation |
hey got me facin |
I cant live with no more rights |
I was raised by the stripes |
So i gotta be down with the hood team |
Too much television watchin got me chasin dreams |
Im an educated fool with money on my mind |
Got my 10 in my hand and the green in my eye |
Im a loced-out gangsta set-trippin banger |
And my homiez is, so dont arouse my anger, fool |
Death aint nuthin but a heartbeat away |
Im livin life doin time, what can i say? |
Im 23, now how will i live to see 24 |
The way things is goin, i dunno |
Tell me why are we so blind to see |
That the ones we hurt are you and me |
We’ve been spending most our lives |
Living in the gangstas paradise |
three: |
Power and the money, money and the power |
Minute after minute, hour after hour |
Everybodys runnin, but half of them aint lookin |
At whats goin on in the kitchen |
But i dont know whats kickin |
They say i gotta learn, but nobodys here to teach me |
If they cant understand it, how can they reach me? |
I guess they cant |
I guess they wont |
I guess they front |
Thats why i know my life is outta luck, fool |
We’ve been spending most our lives |
Living in the gangstas 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 |
