00:25As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
00:28I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
00:32Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long that
00:35Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
00:37But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
00:40Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
00:44You better watch how you're talking and where you're walking
00:47Or you and your homies might be lying in chalk
00:49I really hate the trip, but I gotta look
00:52As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke
00:56I'm the kind of cheetah, little homies wanna be like
00:59On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight
01:02We've been spinning most of our lives
01:05Living in the gangster's paradise
01:25Look at the situation they got me facing
01:28I can't live a normal life, I was raised about to stay
01:32So I gotta be damned with the hood team
01:34Too much television watching, got me chasing dreams
01:37I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
01:41Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye
01:43I'm a low-down gangster, set, tripping, banking
01:46And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger
01:49Fool, death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away
01:53I'm living life through a dial, yeah, what can I say?
01:56I'm 23 now, but will I live to see?
01:5824 the way things that's going, I don't know
02:01Tell me, why are we so blind to see?
02:07That the ones we hurt are you and me
02:13We've been standing most alive, living in the desert's paradise
02:19We've been standing most alive, living in the desert's paradise
02:26We keep standing most alive, living in the desert's paradise
02:31We keep standing most alive, living in the desert's paradise
02:38Power and the money, money and the power
02:41Minute after minute, hour after hour
02:44Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking what's going on in the kitchen
03:17But I don't know what's looking, they say I got to learn
03:20We've been standing most alive, living in the desert's paradise
03:25We keep standing most alive, living in the desert's paradise
03:26I mean, why are we so blind to see?
03:31That the ones we hurt are you and me
03:37Shall be part of me, so blind to see?
03:43That the ones we hurt are you and me
03:51Oh wait, they all can last aboutะฐัััั
03:52Oh, oh, oh or aah
03:55Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
04:11Amen.
