Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
'Cause I been blasting and laughing so long that
Even my momma thinks that my mind has gone
But I ain't never crossed a man 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 homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light
We've been spending most our lives living in a gangsta's paradise (aaaaaaah)
We've been spending most our lives living in a gangsta's paradise (aaaaaaah)
We keep spending most our lives living in a gangsta's paradise (aaaaaaah)
We keep spending most our lives living in a gangsta's paradise (aaaaaaah)
Look at the situation they got me facing
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the state
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching, got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a locked out gangsta, set tripping banger
And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool
Death ain't nothing but a heart beat away
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say?
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
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
We've been spending most our lives living in a gangsta's paradise (aaaaaaah)
We've been spending most our lives living in a gangsta's paradise (aaaaaaah)
We keep spending most our lives living in a gangsta's paradise (aaaaaaah)
We keep spending most our lives living in a gangsta's paradise (aaaaaaah)
Power in the money, money in the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
It's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking
They say I gotta 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
We've been spending most our lives living in a gangsta's paradise (aaaaaaah)
We've been spending most our lives living in a gangsta's paradise (aaaaaaah)
We keep spending most our lives living in a gangsta's paradise (aaaaaaah)
We keep spending most our lives living in a gangsta's paradise (aaaaaaah)
Tell me, why are we so blind to see (aaaaaaah)
That the ones we hurt are you and me (aaaaaaah)
Tell me, why are we so blind to see (aaaaaaah)
That the ones we hurt are you and me (aaaaaaah)
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
