Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise Lyrics
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of deathI take a look at my life and realize nothings leftCause Ive been blasting and laughing so long that evenMy mama thinks my minds gone but I aint never crossedA man that didnt deserve it.Me be treated like a punk, you never unheard ofYou better watch how youre talking and where youre walkingOr you and your homies might lined the chalkedI really hate the trip but I gotta locAs the croak I see myself in the pistol smokeFool! Im the kinda g that little homies wanna be likeAll my knees in the nightSaying prayers in the street light..( chorus )Been spending most of our lives living in the gangstas paradise (x2)Keep spending most of our lives living in the gangstas paradise (x2)Look at the situation, they got me facingI can never live a normal life, I was raised by the stripesSo I gotta be down with the hood teamToo much television watching got me chasing dreamsIm a educated fool with money on my mindGot my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eyeIm a locd gangsta set trippin bangerAnd my homies is down so dont arouse my angerFool! death aint nothing but a heartbeat awayIm living life, do or die what can I sayIm twenty-three now , will I ever see twenty-fourThe way things are going I dont knowTell me why are we so blind to seeThat the ones we hurt are you and me( chorus )Power in the money , money in the powerMinute after minute, hour after hourEverybodys running but half aint lookingWhats going on in the kitchen but dont know whats cookinThey say I gotta learn but nobodys here to teach meI guess they cant , I guess they wont , I guess they forntThats why my life is outta love fool !(chorus )Tell me why are we so blind to seeThat the ones we hurt are you and me ( x2 )
