Gangsta's Paradise
guitar chords lyrics
[As I walk through the valley of the shadow of deathI take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left'Cause I've been blasting and laughing so longThat even my momma thinks that my mind has goneBut I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve itMe be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard ofYou better watch how ya' talking and where ya' walkingOr you and your homies might be lined in chalkI really hate to trip but I gotta lobAs they croak, I see myself in the pistol smokeFool, I'm the kinda g' that little homie's wanna be likeOn my knees in the night saying prayers in the street light]
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 facingI can't live a normal life, I was raised by the streetSo I gotta be down with the 'hood teamToo much television watching, got me chasing dreamsI'm an educated fool with money on my mindGot my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eyeI'm a locked out gangsta, set tripping bangerAnd my homies are down so don't arouse my anger, fool! Death ain't nothing but a heart beat awayI'm living life do or die, what can I say? I'm twenty-three now, will I ever live to see twenty-four? 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?
We've been spending most our lives
That the ones we hurt
Are you and me?
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
[Power in the money, money in the powerMinute after minute, hour after hourEverybody's running, but half of them ain't lookingIt's going on in the kitchenBut I don't know what's cooking! They say I gotta learn but nobody's here to teach meIf they can't understand it, how can they reach me? I guess they can't, I guess they won't, I guess they frontThat's why I know my life is out of luck, fool!]
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
Tell me why are we
So blind to see
That the ones we hurt
Are you and me?
Tell me [why are weSo blind to seeThat the ones we hurtAre you and me?]
Tell me [why are weSo blind to seeThat the ones we hurtAre you and me?]
