Gangsta's paradise Lyrics
Gangsta's paradise - Rude boy
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin'
'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
I 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 talkin' and where you walkin'
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 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 street
So I gotta be down now 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 with a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out gangsta nah set trippin' banger
My homies are down so don't arouse my anger
Fool death ain't nothin' but a heart beat 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
Tell me why are we so blind to see
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'
They say I gotta learn but nobody's to teach me
If I don'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
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
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
Hoooooooooh
Hoooooooooh
