Tell me
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
Ha, new beamer 2 seater interior blue
I Been sipping henny I got plenty her limit is too many
Shout out Remy that boy Benny won't hop in the booth, (Yeah)
Fuck a semi I go full auto, hollows with my troops
Mono e mono we got problems you gon up and shoot ?
I want the throne but above all I want the fuckin' truth
I won't trust the bitches love these women, though my heart is through
She want the status brought the package to the other booth
New rage, nigga I just hop out steppin'
Drop the top and hit the lighter blowin' 70 on 7
Hit the block you need the package coping kelos by 11s
I fear GOD and fuck the reverend pop off anything you catchin'
I swear my life feel like a movie every scene be action packed
She killed a bottle of McCarty popped the seal and crack the acc
New baby Benz got all her friends she feel a spark I lit the match
I herd you trippin' off some pussy fuck that bitch can have her back nigga
Been spending most our life's living in a gangsters Paradise
Been spending most our life's living in a gangsters Paradise, (Tell me)

Tell me why are we, so blind to see,

Ha, no team they all labeled me a menace
I was 17 fighting for a dream I had at 7
All them court fees always tryna give another sentence
Told em bitch please I said ima send it when I send it, (Wooh)
Only thing I'm worried bout is my percentage

They gon' double cross it, love don't cost a thing but my whole wallet
Shit I'm in my zone, they can't see I'm happy on my own
Drip that new two tone heart is stone I won't pick up the phone
Shit I like alone, never truly felt when something's real
Yeah, I'm antisocial I can't make you feel the way I feel
Blink twice you might miss it
Nights might lose it all in just 2 minutes
Crashed that whip ain't miss it
Clique so swift it should go down in Guinness
My blick hit don't miss it
Brand new beam might whip it just don't kiss it
My turn round insane
Switch that lane
My New whip take propane
What you know about moving pounds going state to state ?
Hoodie down walking through crowds with a .38
Kinda crazy a certain sound can take you any place
Got my dick sucked on the plane and shit almost made me late
Been spending most our life's living in a gangsters Paradise
Been spending most our life's living in a gangsters Paradise, (Tell me)
Been spending most our life's living in a gangsters Paradise
Been spending most our life's living in a gangsters 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
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
Been spending most our life's living in a past time paradise
They keep telling of the day when the Savior of love will come to stay




They've been looking in their minds for the day that sorrows gone from time
They've been wasting most their days in remembrance of ignorance oldest praise

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to P.D.C's song "Gangster" reflect a nihilistic outlook towards life and society. P.D.C.'s vocal delivery conveys a sense of detachment and apathy towards his own experiences and the world around him. The lyrics suggest that the quest for power, status, and material wealth is ultimately futile and destructive. The use of violent imagery, drug and alcohol references, and misogynistic language add to the ominous and bleak atmosphere of the song.


The first verse talks about the singer's extravagant lifestyle, with a new car and plenty of alcohol. However, this is juxtaposed with the suggestion that this behavior could lead to violence and destruction, with the line "Fuck a semi I go full auto, hollows with my troops." The singer also expresses a desire for the truth, even though his heart is broken and he cannot trust women. The second verse delves into the reasons behind his nihilism, with the mention of court fees and the struggle to achieve his dreams. He expresses a lack of interest in material wealth, as he cannot see the point of "doubling profit," and asserts his independence from the opinions of others.


The chorus repeats the line "Been spending most our life's living in a gangsters Paradise," which appears to be a reference to the similarly titled Coolio song. However, the addition of the phrase "Tell me why are we, so blind to see, that the ones we hurt, are you and me" adds an ironic twist to the song's earlier lyrics, suggesting that the singer is also a victim of the destructive culture he describes.
