As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
Cause I've been working and lifting so long that
Even my woman thinks that my libido is gone
But I ain’t never crossed a boss that didn't deserve it

Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of

You better watch how you talking, and where you walking
Or you and your cronies might be payin' da premiums
I really hate to brag but I gotta say
As they pay I see myself in a fishin' boat ... fool
I'm the kinda guy that the greenhorns want to be like
On my ass in the court, giving dep's in the wood booth

They been spending most their lives living in the worker's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the worker's paradise

Look at the situation, they got me facing
I can't be expected to work, I was taught to scam
So I gotta be down with the law team
Too much television watching got me chasing sirens

I'm a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my 40 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a doped up loser playin' the law game
And my union is down so don’t arouse my anger ... fool
Work ain’t nothing but an injunction away
I'm living life for free man, what can I say?
I'm home now but will I live to see the couch?
The way things is going I don't know

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me.

They been spending most their lives living in the worker's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the worker's paradise

Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain’t looking
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking
They say I've got to learn but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me

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

They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me.
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me.
