[JohnStarksMiddleFinger]

I just like the first 30 seconds and then I turn it off before Coolio's verse.

 

[DANJ!]

Only liked it a lil' bit when it first came out, was sick of it within two weeks. Haven't liked it at all since.

Actually never cared for any of Coolio's shyt. Probably my least favorite popular rapper of that time.

 

[NvrCMyNut]

Straight up Classic. But White people fvcked wit it hard so we 'posed to act otherwise

Verses were always horrible though, isit me or was coolio biting pac real hard?

 

[Techniec]

Song was a classic for my generation but yes it got played out and corny but

 

[theflyest]

I absolutely hated this song. I thought I was the only one who felt that way at the time. This song was huge, & was always on the radio. The video was always on. I couldn't escape it

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

fukk ya'll nikkas hating hard on coolio. nikka dropped a certified classic and nikkas wanna downplay. Beat was classic,hook classic,coolio's performance classic. Lv's breakdown classic. There's absolutely NOTHING wack about it.

[Verse One]
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 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 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 light

[Chorus: L.V.]
We've been spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
(repeat)
We keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paraside
(repeat)

[Verse Two]
Look 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 dreams
I'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, fool
Death 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 know

[Interlude: L.V.]
Tell me why are we -- so blind to see
That the ones we hurt -- are you and me

[Chorus]

[Verse Three]
Power 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 cookin
They say I got ta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
If they cain't understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they cain't -- I guess they won't
I guess they front; that's why I know my life is outta luck, fool

[Chorus]

[Outro: L.V.]
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

Classic song, simply classic

[I_Q]

Still pretty catchy. I was in elementary when it came out and we had a white teacher. We made a deal with her that if we all passed a test we would play the cassette while she rapped the whole song. shyt is still funny to me to this day, we made her put shades on and everything. We wanted to get a dread wig for her to wear but no luck
