Gangsta's Paradise (L.V. Version)
Yeah
Mmmmhhhhmmmmm
Just a minute and I can tell you
About the things that don't need to be
Here we are at the place where it all began
People can't you see
Thought you knew about the West Side
East side Gs on the creep and go
Only living for the day, never worried about tomorrow
Always tripping
Now we're slipping
Ladies bitching
Babies missing
From the evils of the world
They been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Eh, ohm, ah, eh ohm, ohm ohm
Eh, ohm, ah, eh ohm, ohm ohm
We keep spending most of our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Eh, ohm, ah, eh ohm, ohm ohm
Eh, ohm, ah, eh ohm, ohm ohm
Power and the money, money is the power
Ain't a damn thing funny
This is a jack-up (fool) don't you holler
Cause I don't have that long and I know that it's wrong
But I live by the G's rules and it's on
So don't you trip, 'cause I won't slip
I keep my Gs by my side and my thing on my hip
So don't you creep by my hood without your heat
Or it's the grim reaper that you're sure to meet
Ain't no gangstas living in paradise
Ain't no gangstas living in paradise
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
They been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Eh, ohm, ah, eh ohm,ohm ohm
Eh, ohm, ah, eh ohm, ohm ohm
We keep spending most of our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Eh, ohm, ah, eh ohm, ohm ohm
Eh, ohm, ah, eh ohm, ohm ohm
Now here's another that comes to mind
'Bout a sister that put herself in a bind
She keeps praying on the day that her
Man would come home from prison to stay
The life she's livin'
The love she's givin'
The pain is killin'
The stress she's feelin'
From the evils of the world
They been spending most their lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Eh, ohm, ah, eh ohm, ohm ohm
Eh, ohm, ah, eh ohm, ohm ohm
We keep spending most of our lives
Living in the gangsta's paradise
Eh, ohm, ah, eh ohm, ohm ohm
Eh, ohm, ah, eh ohm, ohm ohm
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
Ain't no gangstas living in paradise
Ain't no gangstas living in paradise
Ain't no gangstas living in paradise
Ain't no gangstas living in paradise
Ain't no gangstas living in paradise
Mmmmhhhhmmmmm

Ain't no gangstas living in paradise
Ain't no gangstas living in paradise
