As I walk trough the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life
and realize there`s nothing left
`coz I`ve been blasting and laughing so long, that
even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
but I ain`t never crossed the man that didn`t deserve it
me be treated like a punk you know that`s unheard of
you better watch how you`re talking, and where you`re walking
or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc
as they croke I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I`m the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
on my knees in the nigh saying prayers in the streetlight.

been spending most their lives
living in the gangsta`s paradise
been spending most their lives
living in the gangsta`s paradise
keep spending most our lives
living in the gangsta`s paradise
keep spending most our lives
living in the gangsta`s paradise

the ghetto situation, they got me facing
I can`t live a normal live, I was raised by the stripes
so I gotta be down with the hood team
too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I`m an educated fool with money on my mind
got my tin in my hand and the gleam in my eye
I`m a loc`d out gangsta set trippin` banger
and my homies is down, so don`t arouse my anger, fool
death ain`t nothing but a heartbeat away
I`m living live, do or die, what can I say
I`m 23 now, but will I live and see 24 
the way things are going 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 gangsta`s paradise
been spending most their lives
living in the gangsta`s paradise
keep spending most our lives
living in the gangsta`s paradise
keep spending most our lives
living in the gangsta`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 looking
what`s going on in the kitchen
but I don`t know what`s clickin`
they say I gotta 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

been spending most their lives
living in the gangsta`s paradise
been spending most their lives
living in the gangsta`s paradise
keep spending most our lives
living in the gangsta`s paradise
keep spending most our lives
living in the gangsta`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
