Green hornet HBO -Gangsta Paradise - Coolio

Iata ca astazi HBO ne readuce in fata o piesa veche in filmul "Green Hornet" (Viespia verde), "Gangsta`s Paradise" interpretata de Coolio (pe numele sau real Artis Leon Ivey Jr.), un artist hip-hop al anilor `90. Piesa, un rework facut piesei "Pastime Paradise" -Stevie Wonder, interpretata de Coolio si L.V. (Larry Sanders) s-a bucurat de succes in 1995, si chiar a primit un premiu Grammy. Un mic scandal a readus piesa in atentie in 1996, cand a fost parodiata de "Weird" Al Yankovic in piesa "Amish Paradise".



Dar sa ne intoarcem la piesa  "Gangsta`s Paradise". Mai jos veti gasi atat videoclipul  "Gangsta`s Paradise"-Coolio feat. L.V., cat si "Pastime Paradise" si "Amish Paradise". Ah, si versurile de la Coolio feat. L.V. "Gangsta`s Paradise"(sub videoclipuri):

(Spoken)

You want to tell me what this is all about?

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death 

I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left

Cause I've been blastin' and laughin so long that 

Even my ma'ma 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 grew 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 

Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise

Been spending most their lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise

Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise

Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise

They got the situation, they got me facin'

I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the strip

So I gotta be down with the hood team 

Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams 

I'm an 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 heart beat 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-fow'? 

The way things are goin' 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 the Gangsta's Paradise 

Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise

Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise

Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise 

Power and the money, money and the power 

Minute after minute, hour after hour 

Everybody's runnin, but half of them ain't lookin 

What's goin on in the kitchen, but I dont know what's cookin 

They say I got ta learn, but nobody's here to teach me,

If they cant 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 outta luck, fool!

Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise 

Been spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise 

Keep spending most our lives living in the Gangsta's Paradise 

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
