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 that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night, sayin’ prayers in the street light
[Hook 1: LV]
Been spending most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
Been spending most their lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
[Verse 2: Coolio]
Look at the situation they got me facin’
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 watching, 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 are 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, will I live to see 24?
The way things is going I don’t know
[Hook 2: LV]
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
[Hook 1]
Been spending most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
Been spending most their lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
[Verse 3: Coolio]
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody’s running, 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!
[Hook 1]
Been spending most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
Been spending most their lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
[Hook 2]
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?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

*pone carta del /kill

I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around, with my ear up to the ground
I’m searching to behold the stories that are told
When my back is to the world, that was smiling when I turned
Tell you you’re the greatest
But once you turn they hate us

Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Look out for yourself
My enemy
Look out for yourself
But I’m ready

Your words up on the wall, as you’re praying for my fall
And the laughter in the halls, and the names that I’ve been called
I stack it in my mind, and I’m waiting for the time
When I show you what it’s like, to be words spit in a mic
Tell you you’re the greatest
But once you turn they hate us

Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Smell the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Look out for yourself
My enemy
Look, look, look, look, look out for yourself

Yeah
Uh, look, okay
I’m hoping that somebody pray for me
I’m praying that somebody hope for me
I’m staying where nobody ‘posed to be
P-p-posted
Being a wreck of emotions
Ready to go whenever just let me know
The road is long so put the pedal into the floor
The enemy’s on my trail
My energy unavailable
Imma tell ‘em hasta luego
They wanna plot on my trot to the top
I’ve been outta shape
Thinkin’ out the box
I’m an astronaut
I blasted off the planet rock to cause Catastrophe and it matters, more because I had it not,
Had I thought about wreaking havoc on an opposition
Kinda shockin’ they wanted static
With precision I’m automatic quarterback
I ain’t talkin’ sacking
Pack it pack it up
I don’t panic
Batter batter up
Who the baddest
It don’t matter
Cause we at ya throat

Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy

They say pray it away, I swear, I’ll never be a Saint, no way
My enemy
They say pray it away, I swear, I’ll never be a Saint
Look out for yourself

Dont stay awake for too long
Dont go to bed
I’ll make a cup of coffee for your head I
‘ll get you up and going out of bed

(Powfu)
Yeah, I don’t wanna fall asleep
I don’t wanna pass away
I’ve been thinking of our future
‘Cause I’ll never see those days

I don’t know why this has happened
But I probably deserve it
I tried to do my best
But you know that I’m not perfect

I’ve been praying for forgiveness
You’ve been praying for my health
When I leave this earth
Hoping you’ll find someone else

‘Cause yeah we still young
There’s so much we haven’t done
Getting married
Start a family
Watch your husband with his son

I wish it could be me
But I won’t make it off this bed
Hope I go to heaven so I see you once again

My life was kind of short
But I got so many blessings
Happy you were mine
It sucks that its all ending

Dont stay awake for too long
Dont go to bed
I’ll make a cup of coffee for your head
I’ll get you up and going out of bed

Dont stay awake for too long
Dont go to bed
I’ll make a cup of coffee for your head
I’ll get you up and going out of bed

I’m happy that you here with me
I’m sorry if I tear up
When me and you were younger
You would always make me cheer up

Taking goofy videos
And walking through the park
You would jump into my arms
Every time you heard a bark

Cuddle in your sheets
Sing me sound asleep
And sneak out through your kitchen at exactly 1:03

Sundays went to church
On Mondays watched a movie
Soon you’ll be alone
Sorry that you have to lose me
