🎤 Lyrics: Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio ft. L.V. (Lyrics)

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 blasting and laughing 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 they croak, 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

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 is down so don't arouse my anger,
Fool, death ain't nothing but a heart beat 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 is going I don't know

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones 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
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep 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
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

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?

The cleanliness in lyrics yet, the dark and explosive meaning of this song.

[mensablonde]

RIP, Coolio. I took my 15 year old son to a Coolio concert in 1997 in Port Arthur, TX on Pleasure Island, because I loved that he could have such a great song without f-bombs or the n-word. I still know every word to this song and I'm 68 years old. He's the only rapper I ever liked. I have an immense respect for this man and I hate to hear that he passed away. Godspeed, Coolio!!

[tsquirrel]

Rest In Peace Coolio! Thank you for the awesome music I listened to growing up! Another legend gone...

[ultimaT]

My mom and dad raised me on these beats. Never forgot them even after 20 years. You will be gone, but never forgotten. Rest well Coolio

[sirshrulu]

Damn bro. He was not just rapping he was preaching a message he was touching hearts. Every person will leave this earth, but every person can leave behind an impact. So be the best you can show love to your brothers and sisters and live for God and Jesus. It will all workout wherever we go next wethere physically or spiritually. Life is a journey and there’s cracks in those roads but those cracks make you more aware. ❤

[misschilena]

[thealienboi]

Finally a good rap song that doesn't involve anything inappropriate or swearing.

[reweditz_G]

legends do die...
BUT THEIR SONGS DON'T

[glottebeauty]

Rest in peace COOLIO, you will be missed for being a real gentleman! For speaking the "truth", giving positivity in your music, bringing from your mind what raw talent is to the world.

[ItsJayMCZK]

This is the best rap without cursing..

[minamina]

Im apart of the new generation and I see why people say older music is much better than our new stuff its clean lyrics but deep.

[IAMV_LE]

I never been a fan of rap as I grew up, it was just swearing and saying the n word and talking about crimes and assaulting people. But I've come to know, that old school rap is better. It actually tells the story and they show emotion and that they are vulnerable. A true work of art.
