Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise (feat. L.V.) [Official Music Video]

You wanna 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 nothin' left 'Cause I 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 out your talkin' and where your walkin' 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 street light Been spending most our lives Livin' in a gangsta's paradise Been spending most our lives Livin' in a gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives Livin' in a gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives Livin' in a gangsta's paradise Look at the situation they got me facin' I can't never have 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 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 livin' life do or die, what can I say? I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24? The way things is 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 Livin' in a gangsta's paradise We've been spending most our lives Livin' in a gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives Livin' in a gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives Livin' 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 livin' What's going on in the kitchen but I don't know what's cooking They say I gotta learn but no one'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 how I know my life is outta luck, fool We've been spending most our lives livin' in a gangsta's paradise We've been spending most our lives livin' in a gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives livin' in a gangsta's paradise Keep spending most our lives livin' 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? [Choir harmonizes]

This song is a good. Coolio was great back in the 90s. Ooh la la is a jam to. This little boy above doesn't kno rap music... that's OK he's just wasting his time commenting on a song he doesn't like. That makes perfect sense
