作曲:Stevie Wonder,Larry James Sanders,Doug Rasheed,Artis L. Jr. Ivey
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 give my mama things that my mind is gone
But I ain't never cross a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk you know that's a heard of you
Better watch how you talking and where you walking
Or you and your homies might be lying in choke
I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
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 streetlight
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Look at the situation they got me facing
I can't live a normal life I was
I was raised by the stakes
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 a gleam in my eye
I'm a loced out gangsta set trippin banger
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger
Fool 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 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 their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the 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
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 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 their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in the 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
