《Gangsta's Paradise》的歌詞如下：
[Chorus]
Gangsta's paradise
The life we live is like a movie
With the ending we ain't supposed to see
Ain't no justice in the world
[Verse 1]
Guns blazing, shells a-flyin'
On the street, we call it daily grindin'
Blood stains on the cement
Tears and screams in the background
[Chorus]
Life is a game, they say we play the victim
But we ain't crying, we just keep on surviving
We don't want to be forgotten
Gangsta's paradise
[Verse 2]
Cops and robbers, the game of life
Them with the guns, us with the Glock-life
Ain't no remorse, a bulletproof conscience
If you in it, you in it to win it
[Chorus]
Life is a movie, we play the lead roles
In a world where the ending is so frowned upon
Ain't no justice in the world
Gangsta's paradise
[Bridge]
You ask me if I'm scared of death
I look at you like you ain't never been near one
A bullet in your brain, a heartbeat away from done
So I tell you, don't let it get to you
[Chorus]
Life is a game, they say we play the victim
But we ain't crying, we just keep on surviving
We don't want to be forgotten
Gangsta's paradise (x2)
[Outro]
We don't give a fuck about what they say about us
We just do what we do, we live our lives and we die our deaths
So let them call us what they want to call us (Gangsta paradise)
It's our life, our story, our way of life (Gangsta paradise)
