This song makes me cry because of I lost friends and family to gun/gang violence. The struggle is fucking real in these streets man. And this song symbolizes the pain so many of us go through.
Man, that is so true🙏🏽. This is what we try to keep other youth from going through. I wish we had more teachers that cared enough to go the extra mile for our young people like in the movie too
2020 now but this kind of rap hits so different. no swearing. no drug talk. no talking about how many girls u got. its pure. about how difficult it is to escape the streets and poverty. amazing
I’m not usually a fan of rap, the lyrics hardly make sense and there’s always bloody swearing, but this is one hell of a rap with actual meaning and I love it.

I'm an out of shape white truck driver. I have been listening to this song for years. it is without a doubt one of the most profound and powerful pieces of music EVER recorded
After all theses years I feel your words bro......you're real and you know the truth.......I lov you man. You tried to wake up the fools.....yet they don't know.
Vicious track and Always and forever a hit for all generations! GOD BLESS U for the lyrics and inspiration you bring upon all of us out here going thru it!! Much Love brother!!!
Imagine it: You and your friends start a band, and multiple chaotic chaos ensues on your way to a band concert . You get kidnapped by a drug dealing psychopath, and he gives you an ultimatum: play a song that will move him or else you all die horribly. You play this song, and everyone seems to like it a little, but as you come to the first chorus the drug dealer is legitimately tearing up because, little did you know, this song describes his very harsh and almost identical struggled upbringing and poverty-filled life, making him feel completely horrible for his actions and he is abso-lutely moved. You’ve blown everyone away when it comes to “Whyyyy are weeeee” hook and the crowd is absolutely astounded by this.
If I am not mistaken, this song was the soundtrack for the 1995 movie 'Dangerous Minds' starring Michelle Pfeiffer. There's also a version of this song where Coolio sings the song as Michelle Pfeiffer looks on after asking: "Do you want to tell me what this is all about?"
I’m normally not a fan of rap but every once in while I find a song that’s amazing. This is one such song. And now I’m going to have this song stuck in my head. Not that I’m complaining.👌🔥
Coolio: this song talks about the struggles of being a minority dealing with poverty and gang affiliation Paramount : it also talks about sonic now Edit: wow this blew up, and i didn't even notice it lol, first time hitting more than 100 likes lol re edit: damn we really hit 1k like lol
I'm so confused about why didn't they choose something faster paced! Busta Rhymes verse in "Look At Me Now" would have been perfect! Eminem's "Rap God" then properly placing his high-speed verse somewhere would have been perfect! Chip-Fu's verse in "What's Up Doc? Can We Rock?" would have been perfect! JJ Fad's "Super*sonic*" then properly placing the high-speed verse somewhere would have been perfect! But nooooooo! "Gangsta's Paradise"... Damn....... it.
I let a kid at a school i went to listen to this... He deadass said “Oh the sonic song?” Wanna punch that fool Boys it’s been a year, if I keep punching him he might wake up from a coma..
crazy huh? what's even crazier is that NOBODY FUCKEN ASKED what year you're listening in. good songs will always be good songs. do you really need validation so badly that you're commenting the year you're listening in?
It's been TEN YEARS since RUclips started using the like/dislike feature and people are still gobsmacked when their favorite video gets disliked. People, stop taking it so personally. Every popular video will have a portion of dislikes on it, there's no real meaning behind the dislikes when it's such a small amount compared to the likes. If there were 25% dislikes then maybe something was up, but it's literally like 5% here. Christ.

I never realized how deep and real this song actually is

the first line is a bible verse psalms 23:4
When you see the lyrics you actually realise what the song is about

You can rap without cursing back in the 90's and this song is epic.

So true!!!
2020 but still a all time favourite
That crosser but homies agen estp and a lot more people polices the game of a handful of players who were
You spelt favorite wrong. Jk

Now he's finally in Gangster's Paradise. Rest in peace Coolio 💔 🙏🏽🕊
This song is really something. Can totally identify. Fought so hard to get out of that life and now I'm doin good
Classic he won a Grammy for this well deserved I believe this is his best work
Me: Can somebody rap without cursing every other word?
Coolio: Hold my beer 🍺 babygirl!
Lil Wayne
@@prue5588 he cant rap
Nf man not a single curse
Because Stevie Wonder helped write it
Gabriel Adkins really? I never knew that.
That chorus is forever so haunting. I imagine it being the angels of those needlessly killed singing from heaven
I'm an out of shape white truck driver. I have been listening to this song for years. it is without a doubt one of the most profound and powerful pieces of music EVER recorded
So glad you enjoy it! 💕 I hope that one day you might listen to the Original Past Time Paradise written by Stevie Wonder'
and his powerful lyrics.
😊
“Death ain’t nothing but a heartbeat away”
Damn thats deeeeeepp
Favorite verse
Man got me straight to the heart
Its true though death is just a heart beat away. Life can start in a minute be taken the next.
Unus annus
There's no other song that matches this vibe 😩💞
SUS
THIS SONG WILL NEVER GROW OLD
I've never liked Rap Songs, but I'll admite that there is something special about this one & it's pretty good.
I’ve always loved rap songs but this one just hits different
This song is still everything.
Since I was 10 in 95, this tune taught me life lessons

Old enough to remember this was everyday music on the radio 👌🏾
Same here mate
RIP Cooli !!!
Like a good bourbon this song has aged well and smooth!
Back when you had to listen to a CD.
I miss this style of rap.
LEGENDARY SONG
Thank you song lyrics. This song is the best song! I just found the song right now!
Plain and simple lyrics and great sound. Two thumbs up for whoever did this one because they really hooked it up 👍👍
Boy what you mean this is amazing and really extravagant compared to that new mumble rap shit
I love this!
@@onlyonemitch5049 That's right baby I totally agree with you on that one as well
Been looking for the song for 2 years after hearing once on radio... Great composition,the beats etc...

This was the real music. Nowadays someone curses and they get super famous

‘As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life and realise there nothing left’ Wow, this is deep to start off with 😖
