Gangster's Paradise Lyrics & Chords By 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 spendin' 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
This television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
Death ain't nothin' 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 spendin' most of life livin' in a gangster's paradise
Been spendin' most of life livin' in a gangster's paradise
Been spendin' 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 goin' 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 fucked
That's how I know my life is out of luck

(Tell me)

Been spendin' most of life livin' in a gangster's paradise
Been spendin' most of life livin' in a gangster's paradise (Tell me)
Been spendin' most of life livin' in a gangster's paradise
Been spendin' most of life livin' in a gangster's paradise (Tell me)

Why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
