Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's
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 blastin' and laughin' so long
That even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
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?
Say it, look at the situation, they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I been raised by the street
And I gotta be one with the hood team
Too much television, got me chasing dreams, yeah
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
