Je score:
You wanna tell me what this is al about? As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life And realise there's not much left 'Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long That even my momma thinks that my mind has gone But I never crossed a man that didn't deserve it He'd be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of You betta watch how ya talking And where ya walking Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk I really hate to trip but I gotta lope As they cope, I see myself in the pistol smoke Fool, I'm the kind of g that little homie's wanna be like On my knees in the night Saying prayers in the street light Been spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise Been spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise Look at the situation, they got me facing I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street So I gotta be down with the 'hood team Too much television watching, got me chasing dreams I'm an educated fool with money on my mind Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm a locked out gangsta, set tripping banger And my homies are down so don't arouse my anger Fool, death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away I'm living life like a die-er, what can I say? I'm twenty-three now , will I ever live to see twenty-four The way things is going I don't know. 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 a gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise Been spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise Power and the money, money and the power Minute after minute, hour after hour Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking It's going on in the kitchen But I don't know what's cooking. They 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, fool! Been spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise Been spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives Living in a 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?
