Lyrics
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
– Kòm mwen mache nan fon an nan lonbraj la nan lanmò
I take a look at my life and realize there’s nothin’ left
– Mwen pran yon gade nan lavi m ‘ak reyalize pa gen anyen’ kite
‘Cause I’ve been blastin’ and laughin’ so long that
– ‘Kòz mwen te blastin’ ak ri ‘ lontan ke
Even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
– Menm manman m panse ke lide m ale
But I ain’t never crossed a man that didn’t deserve it
– Men mwen pa janm janbe lòt yon nonm ki pa t merite li
Me be treated like a punk, you know that’s unheard of
– Mwen dwe trete tankou yon punk, ou konnen sa a etranj nan
You better watch how you talkin’ and where you walkin’
– Ou pi byen gade kijan ou pale’ ak ki kote ou mache’
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
– Oswa ou menm ak homies ou ta ka aliyen nan lakre
I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc
– Mwen vrèman rayi vwayaj, men mwen oblije loc
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke
– Kòm yo croak, mwen wè tèt mwen nan lafimen an pistolè
Fool, I’m the kinda G the little homies wanna be like
– Moun fou, mwen se Yon Jan g homies yo ti kras vle tankou
On my knees in the night, sayin’ prayers in the streetlight
– Sou jenou mwen nan mitan lannwit lan, priyè sayin ‘ nan lari a
Been spendin’ most their lives
– Te depanse pifò lavi yo
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
– Livin ‘ nan paradi yon gangsta
Been spendin’ most their lives
– Te depanse pifò lavi yo
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
– Livin ‘ nan paradi yon gangsta
Keep spendin’ most our lives
– Kenbe depanse ‘ pifò lavi nou
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
– Livin ‘ nan paradi yon gangsta
Keep spendin’ most our lives
– Kenbe depanse ‘ pifò lavi nou
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
– Livin ‘ nan paradi yon gangsta
Look at the situation they got me facing
– Gade sitiyasyon an yo te fè m fè fas a
I can’t live a normal life, I was raised by the street
– Mwen pa ka viv yon vi nòmal, mwen te leve soti vivan nan lari an
So I gotta be down with the hood team
– Se konsa mwen dwe desann ak ekip la kapo
Too much television watchin’, got me chasing dreams
– Twòp televizyon watchin’, te resevwa m ‘ kouri dèyè rèv
I’m a educated fool with money on my mind
– Mwen se yon moun fou edike ak lajan sou tèt mwen
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
– Te resevwa dis mwen nan men m ak yon ekla nan je m yo
I’m a loc’d out gangsta, set trippin’ banger
– Mwen se yon loc ‘d soti gangsta, mete trippin’ banger
And my homies is down, so don’t arouse my anger
– Epi homies mwen yo desann, kidonk pa eksite kòlè mwen
Fool, death ain’t nothin’ but a heart beat away
– Moun fou, lanmò se pa nothin ‘ men yon kè bat lwen
I’m livin’ life do or die, what can I say?
– Mwen se lavi livin ‘ fè oswa mouri, kisa mwen ka di?
I’m 23 now but will I live to see 24?
– Mwen gen 23 kounye a men èske m ap viv pou m wè 24?
The way things is going I don’t know
– Fason bagay yo prale mwen pa konnen
Tell me why are we so blind to see
– Di m poukisa nou avèg konsa pou nou wè
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
– Ke moun nou fè mal yo se ou menm ak mwen?
Been spendin’ most their lives
– Te depanse pifò lavi yo
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
– Livin ‘ nan paradi yon gangsta
Been spendin’ most their lives
– Te depanse pifò lavi yo
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
– Livin ‘ nan paradi yon gangsta

Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
– Livin ‘ nan paradi yon gangsta
Keep spendin’ most our lives
– Kenbe depanse ‘ pifò lavi nou
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
– Livin ‘ nan paradi yon gangsta
Power and the money, money and the power
– Pouvwa ak lajan an, lajan ak pouvwa a
Minute after minute, hour after hour
– Minit apre minit, èdtan apre èdtan
Everybody’s runnin’, but half of them ain’t lookin’
– Runnin tout moun’, men mwatye nan yo se pa lookin’
It’s going on in the kitchen, but I don’t know what’s cookin’
– Li pral sou nan kwizin nan, men mwen pa konnen ki sa ki nan cookin’
They say I gotta learn, but nobody’s here to teach me
– Yo di mwen dwe aprann, men pèsonn pa isit la pou anseye m
If they can’t understand it, how can they reach me?
– Si yo pa ka konprann li, ki jan yo ka rive jwenn mwen?
I guess they can’t, I guess they won’t
– Mwen devine yo pa kapab, mwen devine yo pa pral
I guess they front, that’s why I know my life is out of luck, fool
– Mwen devine yo devan, se poutèt sa mwen konnen lavi m ‘ se soti nan chans, moun fou
Been spendin’ most their lives
– Te depanse pifò lavi yo
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
– Livin ‘ nan paradi yon gangsta
Been spendin’ most their lives
– Te depanse pifò lavi yo
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
– Livin ‘ nan paradi yon gangsta
Keep spendin’ most our lives
– Kenbe depanse ‘ pifò lavi nou
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
– Livin ‘ nan paradi yon gangsta
Keep spendin’ most our lives
– Kenbe depanse ‘ pifò lavi nou
Livin’ in a gangsta’s paradise
– Livin ‘ nan paradi yon gangsta
Tell me why are we so blind to see
– Di m poukisa nou avèg konsa pou nou wè
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
– Ke moun nou fè mal yo se ou menm ak mwen?
Tell me why are we so blind to see
– Di m poukisa nou avèg konsa pou nou wè
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
– Ke moun nou fè mal yo se ou menm ak mwen?
