| | Gangsta's Paradise Lyrics Artist(Band):Coolio
You want to tell me what this is all about? 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 Cause I've been blastin' and laughin so long that Even my ma'ma 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 grew 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 Sayin prayers in the street light Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise Been spending most our 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 strip So I gotta be down with the hood team Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams I'm an educated fool with money on my mind Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm a loc'ed out gangsta, set-trippin banger And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool Death ain't nuthin but a heart beat away I'm livin life do-or-die-a, what can I say? I'm twenty-three now, but will I live to see twenty-fow'? The way things are goin' 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 the Gangsta's Paradise Been spending most our 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 runnin, but half of them ain't lookin What's goin on in the kitchen, but I dont know what's cookin They say I got ta learn, but nobody's here to teach me, If they cant 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 outta luck, fool! Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise Been spending most our 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 If you find some error in Gangsta's Paradise Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Gangsta's Paradise grreatttt<3 | Reviewer: angie | 10/17/09 this is a truly great song. i don't even really like this music. i mean, i listen to shit like the smiths, devendra banhart, and interpol! but this song is really amazing. it portrays all kinds of troubled youth. Stevie! | Reviewer: Bert | 10/8/09 I was soooo excited in 1995 when I heard this song, as it is based on Stevie's "Pastime Paradise" from "Songs in the key of life". As 14 year old boy, I listened to "The history of pop" and heard Pastime Paradise for the first time. I was in awe... An incredible song. And then Coolio took it and brought it to a new generation! Love U all cool redux | Reviewer: a ann | 4/28/09 I guess no one knows that this great rap song is a redux of Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise" from his 1976 masterpiece "Songs In The Key of Life" album. Give the Grand Master (Wonder) his due credits for being the original genius behind this song. pay respect | Reviewer: prince hew | 4/22/09 this is the only song i respect and love listening to.. i respect the song, the song writer, the person the song was dedicated to and Coolio.. some times i reflect my live on this song... walking around in gangs and whacking ppl.. wat goes around come backs around.. a hell of a good song made in history. power o respect.. being afraid is not respect.. having respect wit no power is better and fear of a powerful person. wat ever u think u are u dont have to be tat.. advice from me.. peace be with u.. God died 4 every 1 tru stories | Reviewer: shanky aka bashy's wifey | 2/20/09 I love the lyrics to this song he reflects on to youths these days wat there going through life aint easy at all and thos words minute after minute hour after hour its sounds so depressing like it tought every minute every hour every flippin second I love coolio his a boom chum :) reflection | Reviewer: lime | 12/4/08 yes reflect how the kids attitude are up now... joinin' the gansta is thier only solution to thier problem but they would only realise that thier were wrong when they already in the edge of the line with no way out... like me livin' in gangster paradise before A Respected Song | Reviewer: The Smart Sheep | 11/25/08 Very good song, emotionally stimulating by music and lyrics. Rap was originally created to exress the troubled emotions of gangs. Obviously people lately have been screwing it up, and now Coolio's 'Gangsta Paradise' is referred to as "Old School". I usually have no respect for rap, but this I have respect for, because it doesn't give a personna of being cool, crude, man-whores laying their women and running from the police. It's actually just crying without tears with this song. The last verse Coolio sings study please...it explains he is doomed for his actions and feels trapped for his actions. The last verse altogether raps it up. They realized their blind actions of the pain they caused, and regret it. ...And this is The Smart Sheep signing out. God Bless its an okay song | Reviewer: wigga | 1/15/08 i must admit i heard better. if you want some real g-shit read the bible... no joke theres all kind of killing in there betrail murder lies put people to the tust and i t gives me a clearer image on people and what they do. laugh at me if you want. but even coolio reads the bible and young jeezypeace out. sTR8 UP gansta | Reviewer: Clitoral Stimulator | 11/27/07 ok, so now ya see? coolio is a str8 up gansta u gotta realize this. just put this song on repeat ya herd smoke a blunt or summin u kno just kick wit ya forty coolio is the birth of gansta rap ya herd str8 thuggin thanx for makin the seen wut it is today word. pea-ce. - T-Boner. oneWUUT? A real life portrait | Reviewer: Rulo79 | 11/22/07 That song refects a sad reality of poverty and crime plagued life of most urban communities, expresing a no expectancies life,the "power of money" , loneliness, fractured families and crime life. It´s interesting to understand those people´s life, the other side of the modern society "progress" and the huge gap between different standards of living.
