GANGSTA'S PARADISE  
COOLIO featuring L.V.

	As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
	I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
	coz I've been blastin and laughin 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
	me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
	you better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking
	or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
	I really hate to trip but i gotta, loc
	As I Grow I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
	I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like 
	on my knees in the night, saying prayers in the streetlight


 	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


	They got the situation, they got me facin'
	I can't 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
	I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
	got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
	I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
	and my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
	death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,
	I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
	I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
	the way things are going I don't know 

	Chorus:
	
	Tell me why are we, so blind to see
	That the one's we hurt, are you and me
	been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
	been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
	spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
	spending most our lives, living in the gangsta'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 looking
	what's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's kickin'
	they say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
	if they can't undersstand 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 their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
	been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
	spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
	spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
	Tell me why are we, so blind to see
	That the one's we hurt, are you and me
	Tell me why are we, so blind to see
	That the one's we hurt, are you and me
	
	(fade out)
