00:00As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
00:05I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
00:09Cause I've been rising and laughing so long that
00:13Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
00:16But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
00:20Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
00:24You better watch how you're talking and where you're walking
00:28Or you and your homies might be lying and choking
00:31I really hate to trip, but I gotta low
00:35As they cope, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
00:39I'm the kind of G that little homies wanna be
00:42Like on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight
00:47Keep screaming monster mind, till the end of death there's paradise
01:16Look at the situation they got me facing
01:20I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the state
01:24So I gotta be damned with the hurricane
01:27Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
01:31I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
01:35Got my tin in my hand and the cream in my eye
01:39I'm a no doubt gangsta set tripping banger
01:43And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool
01:47Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away
01:50I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
01:54I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
01:58The way these things is going, I don't know
02:01Tell me why are we so blind to see
02:08That the ones we hurt are you and me
02:17Keep screaming monster mind, till the end of death there's paradise
02:33Keep screaming monster mind, till the end of death there's paradise
02:47Power and the money, money and the power
02:51Minute after minute, hour after hour
02:55Everybody's running, but I'm an only looking
02:58What's going on in the kitchen
03:00But I don't know what's cooking
03:02They say I got to learn, but nobody's here to teach me
03:06If they can't understand it, how can they reach me
03:10I guess they can't, I guess they won't, I guess they front
03:14That's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
03:17Keep screaming monster mind, till the end of death there's paradise
03:46Tell me why are we so blind to see
03:53That the ones we hurt are you and me
04:00Tell me why are we so blind to see
04:08That the ones we hurt are you and me
