• Gangsta's Paradise (ft. L.V.)

[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 better watch how you talkin' and where you 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 homies 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 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 watching, got me chasing 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 loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger
and my homies are down, so don't arouse my anger
fool, death ain't nothin' but a heart beat away
i'm livin' life do or die, what can i say?
i'm 23 now, will i live to see 24?
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]
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 3: coolio]
power and the money, money and the power
minute after minute, hour after hour
everybody's running, but half of them ain't lookin'
it's going 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, fool!

[hook 1]
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

[hook 2] (x2)
tell me why are we so blind to see
that the ones we hurt are you and me?
