Coolio – Gangster's Paradise (The Green Hornet ost) 0

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nuthin' left
Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long that
Even my ma'ma 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 grew 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 light

Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise

They got the situation, they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the strip
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watchin' got me chasin' 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 loc'ed 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-a, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now, but will I live to see twenty-fow'?
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 our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise

Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's runnin', but half of them ain't lookin'
What'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 front; that's why I know my life is outta luck, fool!

Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta'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

Гангстерский рай
Кулио:
Я гулял по аллее смерти теней
Я вспомнил всю свою жизнь и всё,что было в ней
Надо мнгой надсмехалисьи унижали так часто,
Что моя мама думала,чтоя сойду с ума. К несчастью
я не встречал человека,кто бы не сталкивался с этим
Я жил тихо, как мразь волоча дни на этом свете
Ты лучше знаешь где ты ходишь,и что ты можешь
Ты или твой друг получат пулю где
Я ненавижу убегать и я замкнулся в себе
На их насмешки отвечал пальбой во тьме,дураки,
Я маленький человек,который хочет быть как
Проповедник,молящийся о душах в небесах

Припев:(Эл.Ви.)
Они проведут свои лучшие дни
Живя в ганстерском раю одни
Они проведут свои лучшие дни
Живя в ганстерском раю одни
Мы проведём свои лучшие дни
Живя в ганстерском раю одни
Мы проведём свои лучшие дни
Живя в ганстерском раю одни

Куплет 2(Кулио)
Гнилая нищета сначала меня воспитала
Я немогу нормально жить где не проблема убить
Ещё подростком я начал катиться вниз
Насмотрелся боевиков и думал это жизнь
Одно моё образованье пачка баксов в кармане
И пистолет в другом изменяет
