Like A Storm - Gangsters Paradise lyrics

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of d**h 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 spending 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 These television watchin' got me chasin' dreams d**h ain't nothing 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 spending most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Been spending 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 going 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 f**ed That's how I know my life is out of luck Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Been spending most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Been spendin' most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Been spending most of life Livin' in a gangster's paradise Why are we So blind to see That the ones we hurt Are you and me
