Just
a minute and
I can tell you about that thing that don't need to be
Here we are at the place
where it all began,
people can't you see
Thought you knew about the west side,
east side
G's on the creep, you know
Only living for the day,
never worried about tomorrow
Always trippin',
now we're slippin'
Ladies bitchin', babies missin'
From the evils of the world
You've been spending
most of your life
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Eh -oh, nah eh -oh, eh -oh
Eh -oh, nah eh -oh, eh -oh
You keep spending most
of your life
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Eh -oh, nah eh -oh, eh -oh
Eh -oh, nah eh -oh, eh -oh
Power and the money
Money is the power
Ain't a damn thing for niggas is a jack,
so fool don't you holla
Cause I don't have that long
and I know that it's wrong
But I live by the G's rules and it's hard
So don't you trip, cause I won't slip
I keep my G's by my side
and my fang on my hip
So don't you creep by my hood
without your heat
Or it's the grim reaper that
you shoulda meet
Ain't no gangster living in paradise
Ain't no gangsters livin' in paradise
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt
are you and me
We've been spending most our lives
living in the gangster's paradise
Eh -oh, na -eh -oh -oh -oh,
eh -oh, na -eh -oh -oh -oh
We keep spending most our lives
living in the gangster's paradise
Eh -oh, na -eh -oh -oh -oh,
eh -oh, na -eh -oh -oh -oh
Now here's another
that comes to mind
by the sister that put herself in a bind
She keeps praying on the day
That her man would come home
from prison to stay
The life she's living
The love she's giving
The pain is killing
The stress she's feeling
From the evils of the world
Been spending most her life
Living in a desert paradise
Eh -oh, na -eh -oh -oh -oh
Who keeps standing on star lights
Living in a gangster's paradise
Eh -oh, na -eh -oh -oh -oh
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Tell me why
Ain't nobody's fault
Ain't nobody's fault
Ain't nobody's fault
Ain't nobody's fault
Ain't nobody's fault
Ain't nobody's fault
Ain't nobody's fault
Ain't
Ain't nobody's fault
Ain't nobody's fault
Ain't fault
Ain't Ain't nobody's
They all down on Sunday night
