Gangsters Paradise - 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 nothing left

'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' 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'd better watch how you're talkin' and where you're walkin'

'Cause this life will only leave you lined in chalk

Been spendin' most of life

Livin' in a gangster's paradise

Been spending most of life

Livin' in a gangster'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

These television watchin' got me chasin' 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 see tomorrow

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 Tell me

Been spendin' most of life

Livin' in a gangster's paradise

Been spending most of life

Livin' in a gangster's paradise

Been spendin' most of life

Livin' in a gangster's paradise

Been spending most of life

Livin' in a gangster's paradise

Power and the money money and the power

Minute after minute hour after hour

Everybody's runnin' but half of them ain't lookin'

What'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 I'm f**ked

That's how I know my life is out of luck

Been spendin' most of life

Livin' in a gangster's paradise

Been spending most of life

Livin' in a gangster's paradise

Been spendin' most of life

Livin' in a gangster's paradise

Been spending most of life

Livin' in a gangster's paradise

Why are we

So blind to see

That the ones we hurt

Are you and me
