As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death                  (basse 2)
I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
Coz I've been blastin' and laughin' so long, that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone

But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it               (basse 1)
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you're talkin', and where you're walkin'
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk

I really hate to trip but I gotta, loc
As I grow 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, saying prayers in the streetlight

  Been spendin' most their lives                                     (basse 2)
  Livin' in the gangsta's paradise          x 2

  Keep spendin' most our lives
  Livin' in the gangsta's paradise          x 2

They got the situation, they got me facin'                           (basse 1)
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes
So I gotta be down with the hood team                                  creux
Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams

I'm an educated fool with money on my mind                           w/ cordes
Got my 10 in my hand and a 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 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 going I don't know

    Tell me why are we, so blind to see
    That the one's we hurt, are you and me

  Refrain                                                            (basse 2)

Power and the money, money and the power                             (basse 1)
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'
What's goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's kickin'

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

  Refrain                                                            (basse 2)
