[00:03.155]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[00:24.095]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[00:30.306]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[00:36.175]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[00:42.245]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[00:47.872]They see the chain, think I’m slingin’ on the corner
[00:50.727]But my flow’s built on equations, not a nine in the holster
[00:54.082]Got a mic instead of a glock, books over blocks
[00:57.173]They say “You’re a thug” but my thesis on quantum’s gettin’ props
[01:00.423]They call me gangsta ‘cause my beats go hard
[01:03.295]But my grind’s in the lab, synthesizin’ formulas after dark
[01:05.602]Drillin’ rhythms like I drill data sets
[01:07.230]While they bang on the block, I’m bangin’ out peer-reviewed abstracts
[01:10.517]Yo, the hood’s tryna claim me, but my turf’s the library
[01:13.542]Stackin’ knowledge like bricks, no need for a mandatory
[01:16.547]Flow so raw, they think I’m sellin’ dope on the avenue
[01:19.021]But I’m sellin’ concepts, PhD dreams in the review
[01:22.423]Ain’t no drive-bys, just drive to the podium
[01:25.102]Spittin’ bars that’ll make Newton and Einstein nod in slow motion
[01:28.901]They say “You’re too hood to be so smart”
[01:31.202]But I’m mixin’ metaphors with matrices, that’s my art
[01:34.613]Living in the gangsta’s paradise
[01:35.779]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[01:42.259]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[01:48.145]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[01:54.106]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[01:59.854]Clip in my pen, not a glock, word to the wise
[02:02.868]They think I’m slidin’ through the projects, but I slide through syllabi at night
[02:07.163]Sample beats and sample data, double the game
[02:09.591]While they flex with firearms, I flex with citations in my name
[02:13.295]Lab coat on under the hoodie, that’s my disguise
[02:16.445]Poppin’ bottles of reagents, not Patron on the rise
[02:19.489]Ain’t no beef, just peer pressure in the academic field
[02:22.279]But my verses hit harder than a grant proposal sealed
[02:24.706]They see the tattoos, think I’m reppin’ a set
[02:26.956]But each ink’s a formula, periodic table on my neck
[02:29.683]Flow so sick, they call the paramedics
[02:31.370]But I’m just cookin’ up theories,
[02:32.679]Professors say “Son, you’re wasted on the mic”
[02:36.130]But I’m stackin’ degrees like I stack tracks on a mixtape
[02:38.877]Gangsta? Nah, I’m just gangin’ on equations
[02:41.382]While they front in the streets, I’m frontin’ at conferences, rockin’ the nation
[02:44.979]Accepted manuscript causes progression with the article payment
[02:48.081]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[02:54.374]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[03:00.144]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[03:06.017]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[03:11.701]This ain’t Compton, it’s Cambridge, but my flow’s still lethal
[03:14.985]They expect me to rep a hood, but I rep my thesis title
[03:18.405]40s in the fridge? Nah, 40 hours in the lab
[03:21.896]While they stunt with rims, I’m stuntin’ with published graphs
[03:25.074]Microphone in one hand, pipette in the other
[03:27.770]They say “You can’t be both” but I’m breakin’ that mother****er
[03:30.863]Ain’t no gang signs, just signin’ journals with my name
[03:33.663]Grindin’ like a gangsta, but my game is academic fame
[03:36.044]Haters say “He’s frontin’, he ain’t about that life”
[03:39.421]But my life’s about variables and logarithmic hypes
[03:41.655]Drop a verse that’ll make the dean lose his mind
[03:44.279]While they bang in the hood, I’m bangin’ out equations, that’s my kind
[03:47.910]This paradise ain’t paved with gold or thuggin’ tales
[03:51.342]It’s beakers, books, and beats that make the crowd go wild
[03:54.244]I’m no gangsta, just a scholar with a mic
[03:55.763]But when I spit, the whole world knows my academic swag is tight
[03:58.981]To live in the paradise
[03:59.958]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[04:06.112]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[04:12.112]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[04:18.360]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[04:23.588]Tell me why are we so blind to see
[04:29.700]That the ones we hurt are you and me
[04:36.041]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
[04:41.935]Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta’s paradise
