Gangsta's Paradise

Coolio

[Verse 1: Coolio]

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left

Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long

That even my momma 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 betta watch how ya talkin' and where ya walkin'

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 homie's wanna be like

On my knees in the night sayin' prayers in the street light

[Hook 1: LV]

Keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

Been spending most their lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

[Verse 2: Coolio]

Look at the situation, they got me facing

I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street

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 loc'd out gangsta, set tripping banger

And my homies are 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 twenty-three now, will I ever live to see twenty-four

The way things is going I don't know

[Hook 2: LV]

Tell me why are we

So blind to see

That the ones we hurt

Are you and me

[Hook 1]

[Verse 3: Coolio]

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 goin' on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'

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, foo!

[Hook 1] + [Hook 2] (x2)
