Gangsta's Paradise (Originally Performed By Coolio) [Karaoke Version] (Karaoke Version)

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've been blastin' and laughin' so long

That even my momma 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 croak I see myself in the pistol smoke

Fool I'm the kinda g that little homies wanna be like

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

Keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

Been spending most their lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

Look at the situation they got me facin'

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 a 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 are down so don't arouse my anger

Fool death ain't nothin' but a heart beat away

I'm livin' life do or die what can I say

I'm 23 now will I live to see 24

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

Keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

Been spending most their lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

We 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 lookin'

It's going on in the kitchen but I don't know what's cookin'

They say I gotta learn but nobody'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 why I know my life is out of luck fool

Keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

Been spending most their lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

We 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

Keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

Been spending most their lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise

We keep spending most our lives

Livin' in a gangsta's paradise
