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 blastin 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
me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
you better watch how you talking, and where you walking
or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
i really hate to trip, but i gotta lope
as they croak i see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
i'm the kinda g that little homies wanna be
like on my knees in the night
sayin' prayers in the street light

chorus:

been spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise *2
keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise *2

forgot the situation, they got me facin'
i can't live a normal life, i was raised by the strip
so i gotta be down with the hood team
too much television watching got me chasing dreams
i'm a educated fool, with money on my mind
got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
i'm a loped-out gangsta, set-trippin banger
and my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool
death ain't nothing but a heart beat away
i'm livin life do-or-die ah, what can i say?
i'm twenty-three now, but will i live to see twenty-four?
the way things is goin i don't know

chorus:

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 *2
keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise *2

power and the money, money and the power
minute after minute, hour after hour
everybody's running, but half of them ain't lookin
what's goin on in the kitchen, but i don't know what's cookin
they say i got to 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

chorus:

been spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise *2
keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise *2

tell me why are we so blind to see
that the ones we hurt are you and me *2
