As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
Cause I've been blastin and laughing so long that
Even my mama 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 talking, or where you walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip, but I gotta lope
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
been spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
been spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
KEEP spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
KEEP spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster'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 watchin' got me chasin dreams
I'm a educated fool, wit money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loped-out gangsta, set-trippin banger
And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool
Death ain't nuthin but a heart beat away
I'm livin life do-or-die ah, 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 know
Tell me why are we -- so blind to see
That the ones we hurt -- are you and me
been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster'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 goin on in the kitchen, but I dont know what's cookin
They say I got ta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
If they cant 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, fool
They been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
They been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
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
dangerous minds filminin soundtracki olan muhteşem coolio şarkısıdır. bir döneme damgasını vurmuştur. hala defalarca dinlemekten bıkmam; üstüne yabancı şarkı tanımam.
90'lı yılların dinle dinle doyamadığımız şarkısı...
bir şarkıyı dinleyince "vay be ne günlerdi" diyorsam, yaşlandığımı bir kez daha anlıyorum sevgili sözlük. bu da o şarkılardan biri maalesef!
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
I take a look of my life, and realise there's noting left.
'Cuz I've been brassin' and laughing so long that.
Even my mama 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 now that's unheard of.
You'd better watch how you're talking and were you walking .
Or you and your homie mith be lined in chalk.
I really hate to trip but I gotta lope.
As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke, FOOL.
I'm the kind of g that little homies wanna be.
Like on my knees in the night sayin prayers in the street light.
Bin spending most their lifes livin in a Gangster's Paradise.
Bin spending most their lifes livin in a Gangster's Paradise.
Keep spending most our lifes livin in a Gangster's Paradise.
Keep spending most our lifes livin in a Gangster's Paradise.
The Ghetto situation they got me facein'.
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street. (or strip)
So I gotta be down wit the hood team.
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams.
I'm a educated fool wit money on my mind.
Got my ten in my hand and the glim in my eye.
I'm a loped out gangster set trippin banger.
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool.
Death ain't notin 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 going I don't know.
Tell me why are we so blind to see.
That the one's we hurt are you and me.
Power and the money, money and the power.
Minute after minute, hour after hour.
Everybody's running but half of them ain't looking.
What's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking.
They say I got to learn, but nobody's here to teach me.
If they can't understand, 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, foll.

90'larda müzikle ilgisi olan hemen hemen herkesin nakaratının aklında bulunduğuna emin olduğum parça. Geçenlerde tekrar dinledim ve ne güzel bir şarkı olduğunu hatırladım.
Tell me why are we so blind to see.
That the one's we hurt are you and me kısmı ayrı bir güzeldir.
böyle rap şarkıları az gelir valla dünyaya..
forever metalhead biri olan bana, toplamda 6-7 hip hop şarkısından hoşlanan bana, kendini ölesiye sevdirmiş şarkıdır.
sözlerini o zamanlar bilmesem de, küçüklüğümden hatırladığım şarkıdır. akşamleyin babayla arabada gezerken radyoda duyulunca içi kıpır kıpır eden şarkıdır. "iyi ki yaşıyorum lan" bile dedirtmiştir.
