Love
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I took a look at my life
And realized there's nothing left
Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long
That even 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 I tend heard
That you better watch how you talk
And the way you walk
And know you and your homies might be a line in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta lock as they crack
I see myself in the pistol smoke fool I'm the kinda g
The little homies wanna be on my knees in the night
Saying prayers in the streetlight
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Look at the situation they got me facing
I can't live a normal life I was raised by the sleep
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and my gleam in my eye
I'm a locked out gangsta set tripping banger
My homies is out so don't arouse my anger
Full death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away
I'm living life do
Or die what can I say
I'm twenty three now
But will I live to see
Twenty four the way things are going I don't know
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
Power and the money
Money and the power
Minute after minute
Hour after hour
Everybody's running
But half of them ain't looking
What'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 I can't understand it how can they reach me
I guess they can't
I guess they won't
I guess they front my life is out of luck fool
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangster's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangster's paradise
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you
And tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
