Dangerous Minds

:00:42

As I walk through the Valley
of the Shadow of Death

:00:45

I take a look at mi life
and realize there's nothin'left

:00:48

'Cause I been blastin'
and laughin'so long

:00:51

That even mi mama thinks
that mi mind is gone

:00:54

I really hate to trip
but I gotta loc

:00:57

As they croak I see miself
in the pistol smoke

:01:00

Fool, I'm the kind of"G"
the little homies wanna be like

:01:03

On mi knees in the night
sayin'prayers in the street light

:01:07

Been spending most their lives
living in a gangsta's paradise

:01:13

They been spending most their lives
living in a gangsta's paradise

:01:19

We keep spending most our lives
living in a gangsta's paradise

:01:25

We keep spending most our lives
living in a gangsta's paradise

:01:30

Look at the situation
they got me facin'

:01:33

I can't live with no hope
I was raised by the state

:01:36

So I gotta be down
with the hood team

:01:39

Took much television-watchin'
got me chasin'dreams

:01:42

I'm a educated fool
with money on mi mind

:01:45

Got mi tin in mi hand
and a gleam in mi eye

:01:48

I'm a loc'd out gangsta
set trippin'banga

:01:51

And mi homies is down
So don't arouse mi anger

:01:54

Fool, death ain't nothin'
but a heartbeat away

:01:57

I'm livin'life do or die
What can I say
