Coolio & L.V. - Gangsta's Paradise songtekst

Je score:

You wanna tell me what this is al about?

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life
And realise there's not much left
'Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind has gone
But I never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
He'd be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You betta watch how ya talking
And where ya walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta lope
As they cope, I see myself in the pistol smoke
Fool, I'm the kind of g that little homie's wanna be like
On my knees in the night
Saying prayers in the street light

Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise

Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise

Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise

Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise

Look at the situation, they got me facing
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 an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a locked out gangsta, set tripping banger
And my homies are down so don't arouse my anger
Fool, death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away
I'm living life like a die-er, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now , will I ever 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?

Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise

Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise

Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise

Keep spending most our lives
Living in a 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 cooking.
They say I gotta learn
But nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand, 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 our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise

Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise

Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise

Keep spending most our lives
Living in a 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?
