Текст песни Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long that
Even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
But I aint 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 talking, and where you walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta lob
As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke ... fool
I'm the kinda G that little homies want to be like
On my knees in the night, saying prayers in the street light
We’ve been spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We’ve been spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Look at the situation, they got me facing
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the state
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a locked out gangsta set trippin banger
And my homies are down so don’t arouse my anger ... fool
Death aint nothing but a heart beat away
I'm living life do or die, what can I say
I'm 23 now will I ever live to see 24
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.
We’ve been spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We’ve been spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Power in the money, money in the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour

Everybody's running, but half of them aint looking
It’s going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking
They say I've got to 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
We’ve been spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We’ve been spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
We 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.
Перевод:
Гуляя по долине теней смерти,
Я окидываю взглядом свою жизнь и вдруг понимаю, что ничего не осталось.
Я так долго пел и смеялся, что
Даже мама думает, что я сошёл с ума.
Но я никогда не становился поперёк дороги тем, кто этого не заслуживал.
Ко мне же относились как к никчёмному – просто неслыханно!
Тебе бы лучше следить за тем, что говоришь и куда идёшь, а то в один прекрасный день От тебя и твоих друзей останутся силуэты, начерченные белым мелом на асфальте.
Я на самом деле ненавижу быстро ходить, но мне придётся прибавить шагу –
Пока они умирают, я понимаю, что у меня руки в порохе, дурак…
Я тот гангстер, на которого хотят быть похожими его шестёрки.
Ночью, при свете фонарей, и стою на коленях и читаю молитвы.
Большую часть жизни они провели в гангстерском рае.
Большую часть жизни они провели в гангстерском рае.
Мы продолжаем проводить большую части жизни в гангстерском рае.
Мы продолжаем проводить большую части жизни в гангстерском рае.
Они управляют ситуацией, они заставили меня понять,
Что я не могу жить нормальной жизнью. Я вырос на комиксах,
Поэтому мне место в банде хулиганов.
Я слишком часто смотрел

Ко мне же относились как к никчёмному - Unheard of!
You'd better watch what you say and where you're going, and then one day from you and your friends will silhouettes drawn by white chalk on the pavement.
I really hate to walk fast, but I'll add a step -
Until they die, I realize that my hands in the powder, the fool ...
I'm the gangster to whom want to be like him six.
At night, by the light of lanterns, and kneeling and read prayers.
Most of his life was spent in gangster paradise.
Most of his life was spent in gangster paradise.
We continue to spend most of his life in gangster paradise.
We continue to spend most of his life in gangster paradise.
They control the situation, they made me realize
I can not live a normal life. I grew up on comics
So I place a gang of hooligans.
I have too often looked
