Fantastic Voyage - COOLIO



Song: Fantastic Voyage
Album: It Takes A Thief
By COOLIO


Come on y'all let's take a ride
don't you say shit just get inside
It's time to take your ass on another kind of trip
coz you can't have the hop if you don't have the hip
grab your gat with the extra clip and,
close your eyes and hit the switch
We're going to a place where everybody kick it
kick it, kick it, yeah... that's the ticket
ain't no bloodin', ain't no cripin'
ain't no punk-ass nigga's set trippin'
everybody's got a stack and it ain't no crack
and it really don't matter if you're white or black, I
wanna take you there like the Staple Singers
put something in the tank and I know that I can bring ya
If you can't take the heat get yo' ass out the kitchen
we're on a mission

Come along and ride on a fantasic voyage
slide slide slippity-slide
with switches on the block in a '65
Come along and ride on a fantasic voyage
slide slide who-ride
ain't no valley low enough for mountain high

I'm tryin' to find a place where I can live my life and
maybe eat some steak with my beans and rice, a
place where my kids can play outside
without livin' in fear of a drive-by
and even if I get away from them drive-by killers
I still got to worry about those snitch-ass niggas
I keep on searchingcand I keep on looking
but niggas are the same from Watts to Brooklyn
I try to keep my faith in my people
but sometimes my people be acting like they evil
you don't understand about runnin' with a gang
coz you don't gang bang, and
you don't have to stand on the corner and slang
coz you got your own thang
you can't help me if you can't help yourself
you better make a left

Come along and ride on a fantasic voyage
slide slide slippity-slide
I do what I do just to survive
Come along and ride on a fantasic voyage
slide slide who-ride
that's why I pack my .45

Life is a bitch and then you die
still tryin' to get a peace of the apple pie
every game ain't the same, coz the game still remains
don't it seem kinda strange, ain't a damn thing change
if you don't work then you don't eat
and only down-ass niggas can ride with me
hop-hop-hop your five quickly down the block
stay sucka-free and keep the busters off your jock
you gotta have heart son, if you wanna go,
watch this sweet chariot swing low
ain´t nobody cryin` ain´t nobody dyin
ain´t nobody worryin', everybody ´s tryin
nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
if you wanna have something, you better start frontin'
what ya gonna do when the 5 roll by
you better be ready, so you can ride

Come along and ride on a fantasic voyage
slide slide slippity-slide
when you're living in a city it's do or die
Come along and ride on a fantasic voyage
slide slide who-ride
you better be ready when the 5 roll by
just roll along- that's what you do
just roll along- that's right
just roll along- that's what you do
just roll along- that's right
do you want to ride with me, do you want to ride with me
do you want to ride with me,do you want to ride with me
do you want to ride with me, do you want to ride with me
do you want to ride with me,do you want to ride with me

GANGSTA'S PARADISE - COOLIO



GANGSTA'S PARADISE - COOLIO featuring L.V.

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
coz I've been blastin and laughin 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
me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
you better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking
or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but i gotta, loc
As I Grow 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, saying prayers in the streetlight


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 stripes
so I gotta be down with the hood team
too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
and my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,
I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
the way things are going I don't know

Chorus:

Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the one's we hurt, are you and me
been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
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 running, but half of them ain't looking
what's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's kickin'
they say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
if they can't undersstand 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


been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
spending most our lives, living in the gangsta's paradise
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the one's we hurt, are you and me
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the one's we hurt, are you and me

Someone Else - A

Someone Else - A

How many cars on the drive are actually yours...?
You never go out for a ride, you keep them indoors
You got a big big mouth
A big big house
Your the king of cribs right now*
A real big hit
No hard shit
I swear that wont change me one bit!

Cause i.. wish i was someone else...
Anybody else..
So maybe you might talk to me.
Cause i wish i was not myself
Anybody else..
Then maybe you might notice me

The world will still go on without you
The newspapers still talk about you
And if your ever low
Pick up the phone
I'll be round don't tell a soul
Cause im not you
You're bullet proof
I'm in a crowd and i can't move

Cause i.. wish i was someone else...
Anybody else..
So maybe you might talk to me.
Cause i wish i was not myself
Anybody else..
Then maybe you might notice me

Let me in, let me in
Gimme the sunshine all year round
Lemme out, lemme out
Gimme it now
Hear me out, hear me shout
Gimme the munchies , show me around
Lemme out, lemme out
Gimme the reason
Gimme it now

Yeah yeah yeah...
Yeah yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Gotta big big house
Big big mouth
Big big house
Big big mouth
Big big house
Big big mouth
That's not helping me right now

Cause i.. wish i was someone else...
Anybody else..
So maybe you might talk to me.
Cause i wish i was not myself
Anybody else..
Then maybe you might notice me

Cause i.. wish i was someone else...
Anybody else..
So maybe you might talk to me.
Cause i wish i was not myself
Anybody else..
Then maybe you might notice me

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Art Of Making Sense - A



Art Of Making Sense - A

There's an angel on the corner
And they say she's watching over
Over when we are under
Fall asleep on the ground

[Pre chorus:]
Hey
Can you feel it calling your name
Like a storm on a bone in the rain
The pain now going you're not around

[Chorus:]
Wide awake for the night again
Awake for the night again
Hanging on the phone i can't wait a minute longer
Gonna teach you the art of making sense

I gotta rock another city
I gotta break another country
I'm gonna kick it til i'm 50
Or i'm deep in the ground

[Pre chorus:]
Hey
Not another bone for the pain
I'm never drinking again
It don't make sense when you're not around

[Chorus:]
Wide awake for the night again
Awake for the night again
Hanging on the phone i can't wait a minute longer
Gonna teach you the art of making sense

[Solo]

There's a devil on the road [x3]

[Pre chorus:]
I can feel it call your name
The feeling that's keeping me sane
Wide awake when you're not around

[Chorus:]
Wide awake for the night again
Awake for the night again
Hanging on the phone i can't wait a minute longer
Gonna teach you the art of making sense

Better Off With Him - A



Better Off With Him - A

Run around,
What's the frequency you're on?
Get around,
That's addiction you'll get some.
Heart attack,
Not as big as the next one.
Pulling back,
Things look different when you're young.
Can't find a, good reason.
Can't fight this way i'm feeling.
These jealous, teenagers,
That laugh at my behaviour.

You'd be better off without me,
Hate to see you sorry,
Days are closing in,
You're better off with him.
Its boring but i'm making,
Promises i'm breaking,
Days are growing thin,
You're better off with,

Anyone,
Makes no difference just pick one.
Get around,
What's the frequency you're on.
You're scared around,
Conversations you're never wrong.
You're better off,
New relations,
You're better off,
You're better off,

You'd be better off without me,
Hate to see you sorry,
Days are closing in,
You're better off with him.
Its boring but i'm making,
Promises i'm breaking,
Days are growing thin,
You're better off with,

I can't take it anymore,
I can't concentrate.
You run around,
In my brain, yeah you run around
You're not having fun no more,
There's a thousand ways.
You get around,
In my brain, yeah you get around.
Run around, what's the frequency you're on?
Get around, what's the frequency you're on?

You'd be better off without me,
Hate to see you sorry,
Days are closing in,
You're better off with him.
Its boring but i'm making,
Promises i'm breaking,
Days are growing thin,
You're better off with,
You'd be better off without me,
Hate to see you sorry,
Days are closing in,
You're better off with him.
Its boring but i'm making,
Promises i'm breaking,
Days are growing thin,
You're better off.
You're better off.
You're better off with him...
