Gangsta's Paradise
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' 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 ya talking and where ya walking
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 kind of G that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the streetlight
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta'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 chasing 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'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger
And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool
Death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away
I'm living my life do-or-die, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now, but will I 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 are you and me?
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta'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 going 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 out of luck, fool
Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a 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?

Spin gave the album 8 out of 10, and said, 'Today's rappers aren't interested in sharing any knowledge with outsiders. Coolio is the great exception.. the most stylistically broad mainstream rap album you'll probably hear all year. Even upon first listen, it sounds like a collection of hits.'[12]
Entertainment Weekly ranked the album #4 on EW's Top 10 Albums of 1995, and said, 'The level-headed street philosopher, preaching respect for black women, fatherly responsibility, and safe sex.. continuing in the great tradition of Sly Stone and Stevie Wonder.. Coolio and his crew make the ghetto seem not just a place of desolation, but of hope.'[13][14]
The Source gave the album 4 Mics out of 5, and said, 'The crazy braided one brings skilled and insightful lyrics that reach and relate to all levels of the Black experience.. sets standards that corny lyrics and catchy loops can't compete with.. Few artists can straddle the line between commercial and underground hip-hop.'[15]
Musician said, 'Coolio ties his music to a message that's as deep as the groove.'[16]
Rap Pages gave the album 7 out of 10, and said, 'Maybe because he rapped for a decade with no props, got yanked on record deals.. this cool-ass homie from Compton has stayed grounded.. Coolio rejoices in the only life he knows.'[17]
