As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life, and realize there's nothin' left'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so longThat even my momma 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 ofYou better watch how you talkin' and where you walkin'
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalkI really hate to trip, but I gotta loc
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smokeFool, I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be likeOn my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight
Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradiseKeep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradiseKeep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
Look at the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streetSo I gotta be down with the hood teamToo much television watchin' got me chasin' dreamsI'm a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' bangerAnd my homies is down so don't arouse my angerFool, death ain't nothin' but a heart beat awayI'm livin' life do or die, what can I say?I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?The way things is goin', I don't know
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
Ash und ich kamen uns in den nächsten Wochen immer näher, es wahr nicht dieses näher kommen wie man das aus Filmen kannte, sondern eher das er mir viel mehr über seine Vergangenheit erzählte. Ich wahr mir noch unsicher wie er reagieren würde wenn ich ihm von meiner Kindheit erzählte, deshalb log ich die meiste Zeit wenn es darum ging.
