Maturity is when you realize these are not lyrics, this is harsh reality 💀

This is still one of the most iconic choruses, the melody is simply heavenly.

Coolio forever goated for this song Men!

the deepest line from that song is missed in that clip: "Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams"

We used to listen to banger and not really grasp what they were saying 😭😭

Gangsta's Paradise is one of 90's bangers along with California Love

The assembling of this music need to be studied by newbies in the music industry fr!

An Evergreen track that will live for eternity. Almost 30 years now and still fresh like just caught sardine fish.

Back then gangsters wanted to be rappers, now rappers want to be gangsters so bad.

@jobphilips23 And they can never be!

At least not the real ones.

You know what's crazy? They used a real church choir.

That's why 90s rap is still loved. Proper story lines.

Gangsta's paradise has been my fav for a long time

1995: I love Gangsta’s Paradise 2025: I understand Gangsta’s Paradise

"That why I know my life is out of luck bro" Have a productive week ahead!

" I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24 The way the things are going I don't know? " The lyric that hits hard to the soul. 🙌🙌

Coolio spitting reality,gangstas paradise coz no gangsta lives in paradise.

RIP Coolio! 🙏 Your songs bring back a lot of memories

Songs with deep meaning. How frequently do most people really listen to music and ponder the meaning of it's lyrics? Music is a good form of expressing one's thought.

And his death was so suspicious

"Tell me why are we so blind to see that the ones we hurt, are you and me" ~Coolio 😭💔

Gangstas paradise is today's world. Politicians, ministers, billionaires, Epstein Class, royal family are the gangstas. The rest of us are their pimps.

Maturity is knowing lyrics can also be harsh realities.

@grok what is the title of this song ?

There's no better hiphip song than this right here. Since i was 5.

Gansta paradise, Most underrated soong tbh

He was killed days after for speaking this dark truths about humanity 💀

Maturity is relaxing to Stevie Wonder's original and staying away from drama .

Gangster paradise! “They” (teachers, cops, politicians, religious leaders, society in general, take your pick) Children who turned to a life of crime after being failed by the system since the moment they were born – needs to learn to lead a legitimate life as a productive,

The part where he said " tell me why are we so blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me" always got me close to my tears 😭

Fun fact: the guy in black was wrongfully put in a gangster database:

CPower 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 going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'"

In case you're looking for the full video

You know what's crazy? They used a real church choir.

That we manifested bc we sang it word for word collectively, this is how this works

Rappers from the 90s sang reality in their songs we knew that back then.... Which means you matured late then or maybe you hearing this jam for the 1st time this year

MY #LOVE OF #HIPHOP SAVED MY LIFE >> THANK YOU TO ALL THE OGs #RISEN

I meet him when he visited Kenya and signed my autograph. I sing this song word for word. I love 💕 it.

Always knew these weren’t lyrics ❤️🙏
