Lyrics for Song: Gangsta´S Paradise
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - 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'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
He'd betreated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You betta watch how ya talking
And where ya walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta lope
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda g that little homie's wanna be like
On my knees in the night
Saying prayers in the street light
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise (x2)
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise (x2)
They got the situation, they got me facing
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes
So I gotta be down with the hoodteam
Too much television watching, got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my tin in my hand and a gleame in my eye
I'm a loced 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 my life do a die-er, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now, but will I live to see twenty-four?
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?
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise(x2)
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise(x2)
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them aint lookin
What'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 , 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!
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise(x2)
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise(x2)
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the ones we hurt, are you and me?(x2)
