8 ContributorsGangsters Paradise Lyrics [Verse 1] As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long That everyone thinks my mind is gone But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it To be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of You'd better watch how you're talkin' and where you're walkin' 'Cause this life will only leave you lined in chalk [Chorus] Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise [Verse 2] Forget the situation they got me facin' I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes So I gotta be down with the hood team This television watchin' got me chasin' dreams Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say? I'm here right now, will I see tomorrow? The way things are goin' I don't know [Pre-Chorus] Tell me why are we so blind to see That the ones we hurt are you and me? (Tell me!) [Chorus] Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise [Bridge] Power and the money, money and the power Minute after minute, hour after hour Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin' What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin' 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 I'm fucked, that's how I know my life is out of luck [Chorus] Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise [Outro] Why are we so blind to see That the ones we hurt are you and me?
