| [00:11.559] |
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death |
| [00:14.239] |
I take a look at my life and realise there's nuthin' left |
| [00:17.309] |
'Cuz I've been blasting and laughing so long, that |
| [00:20.559] |
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone |
| [00:23.349] |
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it |
| [00:26.139] |
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of |
| [00:29.649] |
You better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking |
| [00:32.580] |
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk |
| [00:35.390] |
I really hate to trip but i gotta loc |
| [00:38.230] |
As I Grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool |
| [00:41.800] |
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like |
| [00:44.440] |
on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight. |
| [00:47.100] |

|
| [01:11.750] |
The getto situation, they got me facin' |
| [01:14.570] |
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes |
| [01:17.460] |
So I gotta be down with the hood team |
| [01:20.460] |
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams |
| [01:23.360] |
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind |
| [01:26.450] |
Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye |
| [01:29.400] |
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger |
| [01:32.470] |
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool |
| [01:35.910] |
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away, |
| [01:38.580] |
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say |
| [01:41.800] |
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24 |
| [01:44.759] |
The way things are going I don't know |
| [01:46.700] |
|
| [01:47.590] |
Tell me why are we, so blind to see |
| [01:53.400] |
That the one's we hurt, are you and me |

Power and the money, money and the power |
| [02:26.759] |
Minute after minute, hour after hour |
| [02:29.539] |
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking |
| [02:33.289] |
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin' |
| [02:35.649] |
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me |
| [02:38.649] |
If they can't undersstand it, how can they reach me |
| [02:42.990] |
I guess they can't, I guess they won't |
| [02:44.499] |
I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool |
