As I walk the valley of the shadow of death I take a at my life and realize there's much left 'Cause I've brassin' and laughin' so long that Even my thinks that my mind is gone But I never crossed a man that deserve it Me be treated like a punk, you that's unheard of You'd better how you talkin', and where you're walkin' Or you and your homies might be like a I really hate to but I gotta look As they croak I see in the pistals smoke ... fool I'm the kind of cheater little homies be like On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the light
Been spending most their lives livin' in the gangsta's Been spending their lives living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our living in the gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives in the gangsta's paradise
