As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's much left
'Cuz i been blastin and laughing so long that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
I realy hate to trip, but i gotta loke
As they croke i see myself in the pistol smoke
Im the kind of G that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light
Been spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Power in the money, money in the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
I'm a low down gangsta, set tripping banger
And my brought is down so don't arouse my anger
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Been spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
