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

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 the little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight
[Chorus: LV]
They've been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
They've been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[Verse 2: Coolio]
Look at the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the state
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watchin' got me chasin' 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 is down, so don't arouse my anger
Fool, death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat 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
[Refrain: LV]
Tell me, why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
[Chorus: LV]
They've been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
They've been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[Verse 3: Coolio]
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'
It's goin' 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 frontin', that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool!
[Chorus: LV]
They've been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
They've been spendin' most their lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spendin' most our lives livin' in the gangsta's paradise
[Refrain: LV]
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?
Dok prolazim kroz dolinu sjene smrti
Pogledam svoj život i shvaćam da nije preostalo ništa
Jer sam se tako dugo raznio i nasmijao
Čak i moja mama misli da moj um nema
Ali nikad nisam prešao čovjeka koji to nije zaslužio
Ja se tretiram kao pank, znaš da je to nečuveno od
Bolje da gledaš kako razgovaraš i gdje hodaš '
Ili vi i vaši domaći mogli biti postrojeni kredom
Stvarno mrzim putovati, ali moram Loc
Dok se probijaju, vidim sebe u dimu pištolja
Budalo, ja sam nekako kako mali homies žele biti takvi
Na koljenima u noći, izgovarajte molitve u uličnoj svjetlosti
[Zbor: lv]
Proveli su većinu svojih života u raju gangste
Proveli su većinu svojih života u raju gangste
Nastavljamo provesti većinu života u raju gangsta
Nastavljamo provesti većinu života u raju gangsta
[Stih 2: Coolio]
Pogledajte situaciju kad su me privukli
Ne mogu živjeti normalan život, odgajala me država
Dakle, moram biti dolje s ekipom s haubom
Previše televizijskog gledanja 'dobila me snove
Obrazovana sam budala s novcem na umu
U ruci mi je dobio deset i sjaj u oku
Ja sam loc'd out gangsta, postavio trippin 'prasak
A moji su domaćini dolje, pa nemojte buditi moju bijes
Budala, smrt nije ništa, već otkucaj srca
Živim život radi ili umri, što mogu reći?
Sad imam 23 godine, ali hoću li živjeti da vidim 24?
Način na koji stvari idu, ne znam
[Refren: lv]
Reci mi, zašto smo tako slijepi da vidimo
Da ste oni koji smo povrijedili vi i ja?
[Zbor: lv]
Proveli su većinu svojih života u raju gangste
Proveli su većinu svojih života u raju gangste
Nastavljamo provesti većinu života u raju gangsta
Nastavljamo provesti većinu života u raju gangsta
[Stih 3: Coolio]
Moć i novac, novac i moć
Minutu nakon minute, sat u sat
Svi trče, ali polovica ih ne izgleda
Ide u kuhinji, ali ne znam što kuha
Kažu da moram naučiti, ali nikoga nije ovdje da me nauči
Ako to ne mogu razumjeti, kako mogu doći do mene?
Valjda ne mogu, valjda neće
Pretpostavljam da su frontinirali, zato znam da mi je život bez sreće, budalo!
[Zbor: lv]
Proveli su većinu svojih života u raju gangste
Proveli su većinu svojih života u raju gangste
Nastavljamo provesti većinu života u raju gangsta
Nastavljamo provesti većinu života u raju gangsta
[Refren: lv]
Reci mi, zašto smo tako slijepi da vidimo
Da ste oni koji smo povrijedili vi i ja?
Reci mi, zašto smo tako slijepi da vidimo
Da ste oni koji smo povrijedili vi i ja?
