(*Who wants to watch the Sonic The Hedgehog Movie in November!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I KNOW I DO!!!!!!!*)

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 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 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 lock

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, saying prayers in the street light

Keep spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise

Been spending most their lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise

We 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 a educated fool with money on my mind

Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye

I'm a locked out gangsta, set tripping banger

And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger

Fool, death ain't nothing but a heart beat away

I'm living life do or die, what can I say?

I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24?

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

Been spending most their lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise

We 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 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!

Been spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise

Been spending most their lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise

We 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?
