PART 2: THE SONG: GANSGTA'S PARADISE
WHAT'S THE SONG ABOUT?
- The song is about the people have been spending most their lives, living in Gansgta's paradise.
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize nothing’s left
Cause I’ve been blasting and laughing so long that even
My mama thinks my minds gone but I ain’t never crossed
A man that didn’t deserve it.
Me be treated like a punk, you never unheard of
You better watch how you’re talking and where you’re walking
Or you and your homies might lined the chalked
I really hate the trip but I gotta loc
As the croak I see myself in the pistol smoke
Fool! I’m the kinda g that little homies wanna be like
All my knees in the night
Saying prayers in the street light..
( chorus )
Been spending most of our lives living in the gangsta’s paradise (x2)
Keep spending most of our lives living in the gangsta’s paradise (x2)
Look at the situation, they got me facing
I can never 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 a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I’m a loc’d 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 twenty-three now , will I ever see twenty-four
The way things are going I don’t know
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
( chorus )
Power in the money , money in the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybodys running but half ain’t looking
What’s going on in the kitchen but don’t know what’s cookin’
They say I gotta learn but nobody’s here to teach me
I guess they can’t , I guess they won’t , I guess they fornt
That’s why my life is outta love fool !
(chorus )
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me ( x2 )

Is our educational system being effective enough? Well, I think that the schools should be harder.
Are students working hard enough? Yes, but not enough, because there are students which work very hard and strive. But there are students who don't do the homework, don't listen in class, don't do the exams they do nothing.
Are parents helping in the educational process? Yes, they should do that.
What's the average in your class? I don't know. I think a 6 or 7
Where's the problem? have you got any suggestions? In my opinion the problem is that the students aren't motivated and they don't like going to school and learn.
In my class, for example, there are students who don't work enough, they don't do homework, don't listen in class, don't get good marks in the exams... but there are also students who work hard and study a lot to have a good future. I think the parents help in the educational process. In my class there are people who have good and bad marks. I think the average is between 6 and 7 marks out of ten. In my opinion the problem is that students aren't motivated enough and they don't like going to school to learn.
