Deaf hubby has the TV real loud tonight! But, I heard these words being sung. "Keep spending most our lives, living in a gangsters paradise" and that quote really draws to me spiritually. Anyways; would anyone happen to know who wrote those lyrics?

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 blastin and laughing so long that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone


But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
He 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 loc
As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night
Sayin' prayers in the street light

We've been spending most of lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
We've been spending most of lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
We keep spending most of lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise


they got the situation, they got me facin
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watchin' got me chasin dreams


I'm a educated fool, with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loced-out gangsta, set-trippin banger
And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool


Death ain't nothing but a heart beat away
I'm livin life do-or-die ah, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three never will I live to see twenty-fo'?
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

We've been spending most of lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
We've been spending most of lives
Living in the Gangster's Paradise
We keep spending most of lives
Living in a Gangster's Paradise
We keep spending most of lives
Living in a Gangster's Paradise

Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't lookin
What's goin on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin


They say I got ta 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 a Gangster's Paradise
We've been spending most our lives
Living in a Gangster's Paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in a Gangster's Paradise
We keep spending most our lives
Living in a Gangster'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
