Coolio — Gangsters Paradise Chords
Verse
As I G♯ walk through the valley of the F shadow of death
I take a G look at my life
And rea Cm lize there’s nothing left.
‘Cause G♯ I’ve been blasting and F laughing so long
That G even my momma thinks that my Cm mind has gone.
But I ain’t G♯ never crossed a man that F didn’t deserve it.
Me be G treated like a punk, you Cm know that’s unheard of.
You G♯ betta watch how ya talking F , and where ya walking
Or G you and your homies might be Cm lined in chalk.
I G♯ really hate to trip but I F gotta lob,
As they G croak, I see myself in the Cm pistol smoke.
Fool, G♯ I’m the kinda g that little F homie’s wanna be like,
On my G knees in the night, saying Cm prayers in the street light.
Chorus
G♯ We’ve been spending F most our lives
Living G in a gangsta’s Cm paradise. (x2)
G♯ We keep spending F most our lives
Living G in a gangsta’s Cm paradise. (x2)
Look at the situation, they got me facing,
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 watching, got me chasing dreams.
I’m an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye.
I’m a locked out gangsta, set tripping banger
And my homies are down so don’t arouse my anger.
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.
Tell me why are we
So blind to see.
That the ones we hurt
We’ve been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta’s paradise.
We’ve been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta’s paradise.
We keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta’s paradise.
We keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta’s paradise.
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.
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, foo!
