Gangsta's Paradise Lyrics
Coolio
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 not much left
coz I've been blastin and laughin so long, that
even my mama thinks that my mind is
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're talking, and where you're walking
or you and your homies might be lined in
chalk
I really hate to trip but i gotta, loc
As I Grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G
the little homies wanna be like
on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight
* been
spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's
paradise
keep spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
keep spending most our lives, living in
the gangsta's paradise
They got the situation, they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was
raised by the stripes
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 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd
out gangsta set trippin' banger
and my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
death ain't nothing but a
heartbeat 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 are going I don't know
Chorus:
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the one's we
hurt are you and me
(repeat *)
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 kickin'
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
(repeat *)
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the
one's we hurt, are you and me
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the one's we hurt, are you and
me
(fade out)
