If they cant understand it, how can they reach me? They say I got ta learn, but nobody's here to teach me, What's goin on in the kitchen, but I dont know what's cookin


I'm twenty-three now, but will I live to see twenty-fow'?Įverybody's runnin, but half of them ain't lookin I'm livin life do-or-die-a, what can I say? I'm a loc'ed out gangsta, set-trippin bangerĪnd my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm an educated fool with money on my mind Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the strip They got the situation, they got me facin' Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be likeīeen spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise Or you and your homies might be lined in chalkĪs they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool

You better watch how you talkin, and where you walkin Me, be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of I take a look at my life and realize there's notin leftĬause I've been blastin' and laughin so long thatĮven my ma'ma thinks that my mind is goneīut I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it You want to tell me what this is all about?Īs I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
