We keep spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise.

We've been spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise. 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, foo! We've been spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise. They say I gotta learn But nobody's here to teach me. Power in the money, money in the power, Minute after minute, hour after hour, Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking It's going on in the kitchen But I don't know what's cooking. The song was released on Coolios second studio album of the same name, as well as the soundtrack for the 1995 film Dangerous Minds.It samples the chorus and instrumentation, and includes some of the lyric, with altered meaning, of Stevie Wonders 1976 song 'Pastime Paradise'. We keep spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise. 'Gangstas Paradise' is a song by American rapper Coolio, featuring singer L.V. That the ones we hurt Are you and me? We've been spending most our lives Living in a gangsta's paradise. Fool, death ain't nothing but a heart beat away, I'm living life do or die, what can I say? I'm twenty-three now, will I ever live to see twenty-four, The way things is going I don't know.

I'm a locked out gangsta, set tripping banger And my homies are down so don't arouse my anger. I'm an educated fool with money on my mind Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye. So I gotta be down with the 'hood team, Too much television watching, got me chasing dreams. (x2) Look at the situation, they got me facing, I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the state.
