That's why I know my life is out of luck fool If they can't understand it, how can they reach me They say I've got to learn but nobody's here to teach me What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking Minute after minute, hour after hourĮverybody's running, but half of them ain't looking I'm twenty three never will I live to see 24 I'm living life do or die, what can I say I'm a loped out gangsta set trippin bangerĪnd my homies is down so gonna rouse my anger foolĭeath aint nothing but a heart beat away Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm a educated fool with money on my mind Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the ***** They got the situation, they got me facing We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise They been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light I'm the kinda G that little homies want to be like I really hate to trip but I gotta lopeĪs they croak I see myself in the pistal smoke fool Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk You better watch how you talking, and where you walking Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of 'Cause I've been ****sing and laughing so long thatĮven my mamma thinks that my mind is goneīut I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it I take a look at my life and realize there's none left Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise Lyrics (.LRC)Īs I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
