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 even my mama thinks that my mind has gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know, that's so unheard of
You betta watch how ya talking and where ya walking
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 that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light
(hook)
We've been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living 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 State
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 loc'ed out gangsta, set-tripping 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, will I ever live to see twenty-fo?
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?
(hook)
Power in the money, money in the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
It'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, foo!
(hook)
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?
GANGSTERSKI RAJ
Dok sam hodao kroz dolinu sjena smrti
Pogledao sam svoj život i shvatio da ne postoji ništa drugo
Jer sam zviždao i smejao se tako dugo
Da čak i moja mama misli da je moj um je otišao
Ali nikada nisam prešo čoveka koji to nije zaslužio
Mada da me se tretira kao bednika, znate, to je tako nečuveno
Bolje pazi kako govoriš i gde hodaš
Ili ti i tvoji ortaci možete da budete ocrtani kredom
Ja stvarno mrzim da preterujem, ali moram da se zamaskiram
Dok se oni biju, vidim sebe u dimu pištolja
Budalo, ja sam nekako kao G,na kojeg mali ortaci žele da budu nalik
Na koljenima u noći, izgovaram molitve na uličnom svetlu
Mi provodimo većinu naših života
Živeći u gangsterskom raju
Mi provodimo većinu naših života
Živeći u gangsterskom raju
Mi i dalje provodimo većinu naših života
Živeći u gangsterskom raju
Mi i dalje provodimo većinu naših života
živeći u gangsterskom raju
Pogledajte situaciju s kojom su me suočili
Ja ne mogu da živim normalnim životom, bio sam vaspitan od strane države
Zato moram da budem s ortacima iz kvarta
Previše gledanja televizije stajalo me jurnjave snova
Ja sam obrazovana budala s novcem na pameti
Imam desetku u ruci i sjaj u očima
Ja imam zatamljena stakla, vadim pištolj na protivničku bandu
I moja ortak je dolje tako da ne izazivaju moj gnev
Budalo, smrt je samo otkucaj udaljena
Živim život "uradi ili umri", šta mogu reći?
Ja iman dvadeset tri sada,da li ću da doživim dvadeset i četiri
Kako stvari stoje, ne mogu da kažem
Reci mi, zašto smo mi
Tako slepi da ne vidimo
Da oni koje povređujemo
Jesmo ti i ja?
Moć u parama, pare u moći
Minut za minutom, sat za satom
Svi trče, ali polovica njih ne gleda
To se događa u kuhinji, ali ne znam šta se sprema
Kažu da moram učiti, ali nitko nije ovdje da me poduči
Ako oni ne mogu shvatiti, kako da dopru do mene?
Mislim da ne mogu, mislim da ne žele, mislim da pretvaraju
Zato znam da je moj život bez sreće, budalo
Reci mi, zašto smo mi
Tako slepi da ne vidimo
Da oni koje povređujemo
Jesmo ti i ja?
Reci mi, zašto smo mi
Tako slepi da ne vidimo
Da oni koje povređujemo
Jesmo ti i ja?
