Gangsters Paradise (Nikos Kalogerias Remix) Lyrics


As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nuttin' left
Cause I've been blastin and laughin so long that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is goneBut 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 chalkI 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 street lightWe've been spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's ParadiseWe keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's ParadiseLook at the situation, they got me facin
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the strict
So I gotta be down with the hood team

Too much television watchin got me chasin dreamsI'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'ed out gangsta, set-trippin banger
And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, foolDeath ain't nuthin but a heartbeat away
I'm livin life do-or-die-a, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now, but will I live to see twenty-fo'?
The way things is goin I don't knowTell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and meWe've been spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's ParadiseWe keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's ParadisePower 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 cookinThey say I got to 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 outta luck, foolWe've been spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's ParadiseWe keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's ParadiseTell 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 meWe've been spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's ParadiseWe keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's ParadiseWe keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise

Coolio (born Artis Leon Ivey, Jr. on August 1, 1963 in Compton, California) is an American rapper and actor whose G-Funk sounding beats and funky flow make listening very pleasant. Coolio started his career as a member of the rap group, WC And The Maad Circle.

In 1994, Coolio released his debut album It Takes a Thief which featured the hugely successful singles, Fantastic Voyage and It Takes a Thief. In 1995 Coolio released his second and most successful album Gangsta's Paradise, which went 4X Platinum and featured the mega hit, Gangsta's Paradise and the popular party track, Sumpin New. The album 'Gangsta's Paradise" is considered by some to be a classic west coast Gangsta rap album, thanks to songs like Exercise Yo Game and Geto Highlites. His G-Funk sounding beats and soulful flow softens the typically edgy effect of rap. His hit song "Gangsta's Paradise" combined singing with rap. Coolio's recordings also appeared on the soundtracks to Clueless (1995) and Dangerous Minds (1995).

However, Coolio's next few albums, 1997's My Soul, 2002's El Cool Magnifico and 2006's Return Of The Gangsta, failed to live up to the success of his first two albums.

In 2009 he released the album From the Bottom 2 the Top. He also took part in the reality TV show "Celebrity Big Brother" in the UK, in which he placed third. He returned to Big Brother UK in 2010 to take part in Ultimate Big Brother - the last ever series of the reality show
