Gangsta´s Paradise - Coolio feat. LV

As I walk through the valley 
Of the shadow of death 
I take a look at my life 
And realise there´s nothing left 
´Cause I´ve been brassing 
And laughing so low 
That even my mama thinks 
That my mind has gone 

But I never crossed a man 
That didn´t deserve it 
Me be treated like a punk 
You know that´s unheard of 
You better watch out your talking 
The way you´re walking 
Or you and your homies 
Might be lying in chalk 

I really hate to trip 
But I got to elope 
As they call and see myself 
In the pistol smoke fool 
I´m the kind of jeeg 
A little homies want to pull 
Like on my knees in the night 
Say our prayers in the street light 

They´ve spending most their lives 
Living in the gangsta´s paradise 
They´ve spending most their lives 
Living in the gangsta´s paradise 
We spending most our lives 
Living in the gangsta´s paradise 
We spending most our lives 
Living in the gangsta´s paradise 

Look at the situation 
They got me facing 
I can live a normal life 
I was raised by the strict 
So I got to be 
With the hood team 
Too much television watching 
Got me chasing dreams 

I´m an educated fool 
With money on my mind 
Got my tin in my hand 
And a glint in my eye 
I´m a low down payed 
Just sec tripping banker 
And my whole beat is down 
So don´t arouse my anger 

Fool they´re paying nothing 
But a heartbeat away 
I´m living like you 
And I what can I say 
I´m twenty three now but 
Will I live to see twenty four 
The way things is going 
I don´t know 

Tell me why are we 
So blind to see 
That the ones we hurt 
Are you and me 

They´ve spending most their lives 
Living in the gangsta´s paradise 
They´ve spending most their lives 
Living in the gangsta´s paradise 
We spending most our lives 
Living in the gangsta´s paradise 
We spending most our lives 
Living in the gangsta´s paradise 

The power and the money 
Money and the power 
Minute after minute 
Hour after hour 
Everybody´s running 
But half of them ain´t looking 
What´s going on in kitchen 
But I don´t know what´s cooking 

They say I got to 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 

Been spending most their lives, 
Living in the gangsta´s paradise 
Been spending most their lives, 
Living in the gangsta´s paradise 
Keep spending most our lives, 
Living in the gangsta´s paradise 
Keep spending most our lives, 
Living in the gangsta´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
