Gangsta's Paradise Lyrics - Kina Grannis

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 

Even my ma'ma thinks that my mind is gone 

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

He be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of 

You better watch how you talkin', and where you walkin' 

Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk 

But I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc' 

As I grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool 

I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like 

On my knees in the night 

Sayin' prayers in the street light 

Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise 

Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise

And now why are we, so blind to see 

That the ones we've hurt, are you and me 

They got the situation, they got me facin' 

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

So I gotta be down with the hood team 

Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams 

I'm an educated fool with money on my mind 

Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye 

I'm a loc'ed out gangsta, set-trippin' banger 

And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool 

Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away 

I'm livin' life do-or-die-a, what can I say? 

I'm twenty-three now, but will I live to see twenty-four? 

The way things are goin' I don't know 

Tell me why are we, so blind to see 

That the ones we've hurt, are you and me 

Now why are we, so blind to see 

That the ones we've hurt, are you and me 

Power and the money, money and the power 

Minute after minute, hour after hour 

Everybody's runnin', but we don't even know 

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

They say I got to 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 they front my life is outta luck, fool 

Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise 

Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise 

Now why are we, so blind to see 

That the ones we hurt, are you and me 

And now why are we, so blind to see 

That the ones we hurt, are you and me
