GANGSTAS PARADISE 2010

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
Cause I've been blastin' and laughin so long that
Even my ma'ma 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 grew 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 street light

They got the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life I was raised by the strip
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watchin' got me chasin' 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-trippin banger
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger fool
Death ain't nuthin but a heart beat away
I'm livin life do-or-die-a what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now but will I live to see twenty-fow'?
The way things are goin' I don't know

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
