Select language to translate this lyric
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life
And realize there's nothing left
I've been blasting so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind has gone
I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
Watch out ya talking
And you betta watch where ya walking
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
They got this situation, they got me facing
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the state
I'm twenty-four now but will I live to see for the three
The way things is going I don't know.
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Now I let you out of my life
I'm so much better
You thought that I'd be weak without you
I am stronger
You thought that I'd be broke without you
I'm richer
You thought that I'd be sad without you
I laugh harder
You thought I wouldn't grow without you
Now I'm wiser
Though that I'd be helpless without you
I'm smarter
You thought that I'd be stressed without you
I am chillin'
Sold 50 million
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
I'm wishin' you the best
Pray that you are blessed
Bring much success, no stress, and lots of happiness
I'm not gon compromise my Christianity
Cause my mama taught me better than that
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive (What?)
Keep on survivin' (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm not gon give up (What?)
I'm not gon stop (What?)
I'm gon work harder (What?)
I'm a survivor (What?)
I'm gonna make it (What?)
I will survive
I wil survive yeaaaaah
