Gangsta's Paradise

[00:22.15] As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
[00:25.18] I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
[00:27.98] 'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long
[00:30.76] That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
[00:33.38] But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
[00:36.26] Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
[00:39.63] You better watch how you talkin' and where you walkin'
[00:42.32] Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
[00:45.05] I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc
[00:47.65] As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke
[00:50.69] Fool, I'm the kinda G that little homies wanna be like
[00:53.45] On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight
[00:56.49] Keep spendin' most our lives
[00:59.12] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
[01:02.18] Been spendin' most their lives
[01:04.83] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
[01:07.88] We keep spendin' most our lives
[01:09.95] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
[01:13.64] We keep spendin' most our lives
[01:15.88] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
[01:18.88] Look at the situation they got me facin'
[01:21.66] I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street
[01:24.76] So I gotta be down with the hood team
[01:27.36] Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
[01:29.96] I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
[01:32.67] Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
[01:35.72] I'm a loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger
[01:38.90] And my homies are down so don't arouse my anger
[01:41.04] Fool, death ain't nothin' but a heart beat away
[01:44.35] I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say?
[01:47.14] I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?
[01:50.78] The way things is goin' I don't know
[01:52.53] Tell me why are we so blind to see
[01:57.92] That the ones we hurt are you and me?
[02:03.74] Tell me why are we so blind to see
[02:09.20] That the ones we hurt are you and me?
[02:38.28] Keep spendin' most our lives
[02:40.78] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
[02:44.03] Been spendin' most their lives
[02:46.14] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
[02:49.72] We keep spendin' most our lives

[03:25.58] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
[03:29.26] Been spendin' most their lives
[03:31.32] Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
