Uh, uh

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I take a look at my life, and realize there's nothin' left

'Cause I've been laughin' and blastin' so long, that

Even my momma thinks that my mind is gone

But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it (Uh)

Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of

You better watch how you talkin'

(Yeah) and where you walkin' (Yeah)

Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk

I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc (Whoa)

As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke

I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like

On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight

Been spendin' most their lives

livin' in the gangsta's paradise

Been spendin' most their lives

livin' in the gangsta's paradise

Keep spendin' most our lives

livin' in the gangsta's paradise

Keep spendin' most our lives

livin' in the gangsta's paradise

Look at the situation they got me facin'

I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streets

So I gotta be down with the hood team

Too many television watchin' got me chasin' dreams

I'm an educated fool with money on my mind

I got a ten in my hand, and a gleam in my eye

I'm a loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger

And my homies are down, don't arouse my anger

Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away

I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say?

I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?

The way things are goin', I don't know

So tell me, why are we so fuckin' blind to see (Uh)

That the ones we hurt are you and me?

Been spendin' most their lives

livin' in the gangsta's paradise

Been spendin' most their lives

livin' in the gangsta's paradise

Keep spendin' most our lives

livin' in the gangsta's paradise

Keep spendin' most our lives

livin' in the gangsta's paradise

Power and the money, money and the power

Minute after minute, hour after hour

Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'

It's goin' on in the kitchen

but I don't know what's cookin'

Say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me

If they can't understand, 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—

Yeah! Haha, fuck everyone!

Uh, yeah

Keep spendin' most our lives
