I guess they can’t, I guess they won’t, I guess they front That’s why I know my life is out of luck, fool [Chorus: LV] We’ve been spendin’ most their lives livin’ in the gangsta’s paradise We’ve been spendin’ most their lives livin’ in the gangsta’s paradise We keep spendin’ most our lives livin’ in the gangsta’s paradise We keep spendin’ most our lives livin’ in the gangsta’s paradise , [Refrain: LV] Tell me, why are we so blind to see That the ones we hurt are you and me?
