Bright As The Sun Lyrics - Gangsta's Paradise - Coolio

Starlight, star bright 

First star I see tonight 

Wish I may, I wish I might 

Get this lick, I try to hit tonight 

Shinin' down on me, shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me, shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me 

Every time I think about it, I still can't understand 

What make these niggaz think they don't need a plan 

'Cuz if you don't have a plan then tell me what you got 

The old get rich quick scheme or bust her ass Broc 

Niggaz be punkin' out Loc, dyin' over nothin' 

It's the ghetto witchdoctor with another loco potion 

Hickory, dickory, thievery, trickery, poverty, misery, pleads to insanity 

Homicide, rivalry, grand theft burglary, purgery, emergency, surgery 

APB, they lookin' for a G, you ran through a field, hopped a fence 

And climbed a tree, 911, here they come, come, nigga with a gun 

Now your ass is done, ain't nowhere to hide, ain't nowhere to run 

'Cuz the helicopter light's as bright as the sun 

Shinin' down on me, shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me, bright as the sun 

Shinin' down on me, shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me, bright as the sun 

It seems nowadays just to get some respect 

Ya gots to roll a Lex and collect a fat check 

Or come around the corner on 3 hobbit 

Blockin' up the street, flossin' back on your keys 

And everybody's sayin', "You're the man Loc, never broke 

And high off that pream old smoke", sippin' in the seat 

Rollin' in the rag top Chevy '63, the P I M P 

On top of the game but now you're gettin' laid 

'Cuz that gak, weed, yay-o is playin' tricks on your brain 

You're lookin' for a way out before your game play out 

'Cuz once your game play out, ya lose all ya kriz out 

Late one night you was rollin' down the block 

With a half a pint of yat and the twenty dollar rock 

One time got behind you and they told you to stop 

But you kept rollin' 'cuz ya said you wasn't broke 

Out like a sucka, you dumb mothafucka 

Now the chase is on and here go the song 

How in the hell do you think you can run 

When the helicopter light's as bright as the sun? 

Shinin' down on me, shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me, bright as the sun 

Shinin' down on me, shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me, bright as the sun 

Lock down since the '80, situation number 3 

A nigga is released from the penitentiary 

Fools better recognize and visualize 

Don't be surprised, ya better realize 

They gotta plan for your ass, a cage for the mask 

So if you're rollin' dirty then ya better have a stash 

Spot in your whoopty and know the whoompty whoofty 

When the whoompty whafty is done until you see 

He don't know the new game 'cuz the new game ain't true game 

Well, he better catch her quick because the old game is runnin' 

Nine in his waist, that's the new game Loc 

'Cuz if you ain't heated then you might get smoked 

He was walkin' down the street, mindin' his business 

Just happy to be free and what do we see? 

From the corner of his house, here come one time 

So off he dashed like they set fire to his ass 

'Cuz if he get caught, it's strike number three 

And this might be his last day on the street 

I bet ya next time you'll listen when I tell you, son 

That the helicopter light's as bright as the sun 

Shinin' down on me, shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me, bright as the sun 

Shinin' down on me, shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me, bright as the sun 

Shinin' down on me, shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me, bright as the sun 

Shinin' down on me, shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me, bright as the sun
