Coolio & Holy Priest & 1 World - Gangsta's Paradise lyrics

Tell me why are we
So blind to see
That the ones we hurt
Are you and me

Been spendin' most their lives
Livin' in the gangster's paradise
Been spendin' most their lives
Livin' in the gangster's paradise (paradise [7x])

Been spendin' most [2x]

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 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

Been spendin' most their lives
Livin' in the gangster's paradise
[2x]
