    Coolio - Gangsta's paradise

    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 laughing 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 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
    Sayin' prayers in the street light

    been spending most our lives
    Living in a Gangster's Paradise
    been spending most our lives
    Living in a Gangster's Paradise
    KEEP spending most our lives
    Living in a Gangster's Paradise
    KEEP spending most our lives
    Living in a Gangster's Paradise


    Forget the situation, they got me facin
    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 watchin' got me chasin dreams


    I'm a educated fool, with money on my mind
    Got my ten in my hand and a gleam 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 heart beat away
    I'm livin life do-or-die ah, what can I say?
    I'm twenty-three now, but will I live to see twenty-fo'?
    The way things are goin 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 Gangster's Paradise
    been spending most our lives
    Living in a Gangster's Paradise

    keep spending most our lives
    Living in a Gangster's Paradise
    keep spending most our lives
    Living in a Gangster's Paradise

    Power and the money, money and the power
    Minute after minute, hour after hour
    Everybody's running, but half of them ain't lookin
    What's goin on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin


    They say I got ta 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

    been spending most our lives
    Living in a Gangster's Paradise
    been spending most our lives
    Living in a Gangster's Paradise
    We keep spending most our lives
    Living in a Gangster's Paradise
    We keep spending most our lives
    Living in a Gangster's 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
