Lyrical Analysis of...
gangsta paradise
- 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
- Even my momma 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 that's unheard of
- You better watch how you talkin' and where you walkin'
- Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
- 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 the little homies wanna be like
- On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight
- Been spendin' most their lives
- Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- Been spendin' most their lives
- Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- Keep spendin' most our lives
- Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- Keep spendin' most our lives
- Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- Look at the situation they got me facing
- I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street
- So I gotta be down with the hood team
- Too much television watchin', got me chasing dreams
- I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
- Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
- I'm a loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger
- And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger
- Fool, death ain't nothin' but a heart beat away
- I'm livin' life do or die, what can I say?
- I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24?
- 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 spendin' most their lives
- Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- Been spendin' most their lives
- Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- Keep spendin' most our lives
- Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- Keep spendin' most our lives
- Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- Power and the money, money and the power
- Minute after minute, hour after hour
- Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'
- It'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 they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
- Been spendin' most their lives
- Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- Been spendin' most their lives
- Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- Keep spendin' most our lives
- Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
- Keep spendin' most our lives
- Livin' in a 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?
