:00:42
As I walk through the Valley
of the Shadow of Death
:00:45
I take a look at mi life
and realize there's nothin'left
:00:48
'Cause I been blastin'
and laughin'so long
:00:51
That even mi mama thinks
that mi mind is gone
:00:54
I really hate to trip
but I gotta loc
:00:57
As they croak I see miself
in the pistol smoke
:01:00
Fool, I'm the kind of"G"
the little homies wanna be like
:01:03
On mi knees in the night
sayin'prayers in the street light
:01:07
Been spending most their lives
living in a gangsta's paradise
:01:13
They been spending most their lives
living in a gangsta's paradise
:01:19
We keep spending most our lives
living in a gangsta's paradise
:01:25
We keep spending most our lives
living in a gangsta's paradise
:01:30
Look at the situation
they got me facin'
:01:33
I can't live with no hope
I was raised by the state
:01:36
So I gotta be down
with the hood team
:01:39
Took much television-watchin'
got me chasin'dreams
:01:42
I'm a educated fool
with money on mi mind
:01:45
Got mi tin in mi hand
and a gleam in mi eye
:01:48
I'm a loc'd out gangsta
set trippin'banga
:01:51
And mi homies is down
So don't arouse mi anger
:01:54
Fool, death ain't nothin'
but a heartbeat away
:01:57
I'm livin'life do or die
What can I say
