As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left. Cause I've been blasting and laughing 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. Maybe treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of. You better watch how you're talking and where you're walking, or you and your homies might be lined in chalk. I really hate to trip, but I gotta low blow. As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke. So ooh, I'm the kind of G that little homies wanna be like. On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight. We're spending most our lives living in the gangster's paradise. We're spending most our lives living in the gangster's paradise. Can't spend the most our lives living in the gangster's paradise. Can't spend the most our lives living in the gangster'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? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Look at the situation they got me facing. I can't live a normal life. I was raised by the state, 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. MAC 11 in my hand and a gleam in my eye. I'm a lothat gangster, said, Trippin' Banga, and my homies is down so don't arouse my anger. Death ain't nothing but a one-feet-away. I'm living life to a dime. What can I say? I'm 23 nine, but will I live to see 24 the way things is going? I don't know. No. Face cam and moist call lights living in a gangsta paradise. Face cam and moist call lights living in a gangsta paradise. I keep scamming moist call lights living in a gangsta paradise. I keep scamming moist call lights living in a gangsta paradise. Tell me why are we so blind to see? Not the ones we hurt, are you with me? Tell me why are we so blind to see? Not the ones we hurt, are you with me? Thanks for watching!
