Lyrics:

[Verse 1: Coolio]

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I take a look at my life and realize theres nothin left

‘Cause Ive been blastin and laughin so long

That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone

But I aint never crossed a man that didnt deserve it

Me be treated like a punk, you know thats 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 croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke

Fool, Im the kinda G that little homies wanna be like

On my knees in the night, sayin prayers in the street light

[Hook 1: LV]

Been spending most our lives

Livin in a gangstas paradise

Been spending most their lives

Livin in a gangstas paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin in a gangstas paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin in a gangstas paradise

[Verse 2: Coolio]

Look at the situation they got me facin

I cant 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

Im a educated fool with money on my mind

Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye

Im a locd out gangsta, set trippin banger

And my homies are down, so dont arouse my anger

Fool, death aint nothin but a heart beat away

Im livin life do or die, what can I say?

Im 23 now, will I live to see 24?

The way things is going I dont know

[Hook 2: LV]

Tell me why are we so blind to see

That the ones we hurt are you and me?

[Hook 1]

Been spending most our lives

Livin in a gangstas paradise

Been spending most their lives

Livin in a gangstas paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin in a gangstas paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin in a gangstas paradise

[Verse 3: Coolio]

Power and the money, money and the power

Minute after minute, hour after hour

Everybodys running, but half of them aint lookin

Its going on in the kitchen, but I dont know whats cookin

They say I gotta learn, but nobodys here to teach me

If they cant understand it, how can they reach me?

I guess they cant, I guess they wont

I guess they front; thats why I know my life is out of luck, fool!

[Hook 1]

Been spending most our lives

Livin in a gangstas paradise

Been spending most their lives

Livin in a gangstas paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin in a gangstas paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin in a gangstas paradise

[Hook 2]

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?
