Coolio - Gangsta Paradise

Текст песни Coolio - Gangsta Paradise

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I take a look at my life and realize nothings left

Cause Ive been blasting and laughing so long that even

My mama thinks my minds gone but I aint never crossed

A man that didnt deserve it.

Me be treated like a punk, you never unheard of

You better watch how youre talking and where youre walking

Or you and your homies might lined the chalked

I really hate the trip but I gotta loc

As the croak I see myself in the pistol smoke

Fool! Im the kinda g that little homies wanna be like

All my knees in the night

Saying 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 facing

I can never 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

Im a educated fool with money on my mind

Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye

Im a locd gangsta set trippin banger

And my homies is down so dont arouse my anger

Fool! death aint nothing but a heartbeat away

Im living life, do or die what can I say

Im twenty-three now , will I ever see twenty-four

The way things are going I dont know

Tell me why are we so blind to see

That the ones we hurt are you and me

( chorus )

Power in the money , money in the power

Minute after minute, hour after hour

Everybodys running but half aint looking

Whats going on in the kitchen but dont know whats cookin

They say I gotta learn but nobodys here to teach me

I guess they cant , I guess they wont , I guess they fornt

Thats why my life is outta love fool !

(chorus )

Tell me why are we so blind to see

That the ones we hurt are you and me ( x2 )
