Gangster's Paradise Lyrics - Chaos Theory, Pt. One - Like A Storm

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 blasting and laughing so long 

That everyone thinks my mind is gone 

But I ain't never crossed a man (that didn't deserve it) 

To be treated like a punk (you know that's unheard of) 

You better watch how you're talking and where you're walking 

Cause this life'll leave you lined in chalk 

Been spending most of my life, living in the gangsta's paradise 

Been spending most of my life, living in the gangsta's paradise 

Forget the situation they got me facin' 

I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes

So I gotta be down with the hood team 

cuz' television watching got me chasing dreams 

Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away 

I'm living life, do or die, what can I say 

I'm here right now, will I save tomorrow? 

The way things are going I don't know 

Tell me why are we so blind to see 

That the ones we hurt are you and me 

Been spending most of my life, living in the gangsta's paradise 

Been spending most of my life, living in the gangsta's paradise 

Been spending most of my life, living in the gangsta's paradise 

Been spending most of my life, living in the gangsta's paradise 

Power and the money, money and the power 

Minute after minute, hour after hour 

Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking 

What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin' 

Photos 

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 

Tell me why 

Been spending most of my life, living in the gangsta's paradise 

Been spending most of my life, living in the gangsta's paradise 

Been spending most of my life, living in the gangsta's paradise 

Been spending most of my life living in the gangsta's paradise 

Why are we so blind to see 

That the one's we hurt are you and me
