Gangsters Paradise Lyrics

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 blasting and laughing for so so long that

Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone

It may not be so clear, and things are getting heated

But even water rises when the temperature is steaming

So pull yourself together, you know take a look around

There's someone out there praying for the things you throw around

See he may have better kicks but know they’re killing his feet

He got a nicer chick but all the loving ain’t that deep

He got a nicer car but sitting lonely in his seat

Moral of the story everything ain’t what it seems

See we can fuss and fight about the things we know are wrong

Or we could get this money you know love the times were poor

Living in the moment, we’re too young to reminisce

So I don’t wanna hear about the things we shoulda did

See she may have better eyes but she’s crying every night

She may be looking rich but her head is full of it

She may be picture perfect but her rep is on the streets

So moral of the story everything ain’t what it seems

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 blasting and laughing for so so long that

Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone

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 blasting and laughing for so so long that

Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone

Each day I wake up thinking while I’m looking at the time

This ain’t a clock it’s a countdown of my life

I’m learning more and more, appreciate the things I’ve got

Don’t cry over what ifs just love it and whatnot

Some people in my city living lives I couldn’t bear

Going through the struggle and it’s only over there

She’s still smoking cigarettes and trying to kill her pain

Dreaming bout the perfect marriage and a perfect ring

He’s still fronting like he’s got it, you know kills his soul to see

Them rappers on the tv, listening to their CDs

Wondering what it’s like to have it all for one night, have it all for one night

So tell me why you pray? Is it dos you’re faithful or you’re wanting nicer things

Is it cos you’re happy, or you’re fronting just to be

Moral of the story everything ain’t what it seems

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 blasting and laughing for so so long that

Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone

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 blasting and laughing for so so long that

Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
