Generated Culture - Russian Gangsta's Paradise Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I walk through the streets of Moscow
I take a look at my life and realize it's pretty cold (pretty cold)
I've been gangsta livin' in the motherland
So long that even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
I'm an educated man, but I'm still a hustla
I got my AK in my hand, my vodka in my cup
I'm a Russian gangsta, throwin' up the signs
Livin' life in the streets, tryna leave it all behind

[Chorus]
Been livin' in a Russian paradise
Where the vodka's strong and the winter's nice
We keep it gritty in the mother ru', ya
We're livin' in a Russian gangsta's paradise

[Verse 2]
I see the snow fallin' down like the tears of my soul
But I gotta stay strong, keep my heart on cold
In the alleys of Moscow, where you are prey
I'm just another hustla tryin' to make it through the day
The Kremlin's watchin', but I'm movin' in the dark
Got my crew by my side, and we're makin' our mark (makin' our mark)
The streets are my kingdom, where I rule with an iron hand
In this Russian paradise, I'm the last man to stand

[Chorus]
Been livin' in a Russian paradise
Where the vodka's strong and the winter's nice
We keep it gritty in the mother ru', ya
We're livin' in a Russian gangsta's paradise
Been livin' in a Russian paradise (paradise)

[Verse 3]
From Siberia's chill to the lights of Red Square
I've seen it all, but I'm too far gone to care
In the coldest nights, where the silence screams
I'm just a Russian gangsta chasin' broken dreams
But the life I chose is a double-edged sword
One hand on the trigger, the other seekin' the Lord (seekin' the Lord)
In this Russian paradise, there's a price to pay
But it's the only life I know, so I'll never walk away

[Chorus]
Been livin' in a Russian paradise
Where the vodka's strong and the winter's nice
We keep it gritty in the mother ru', ya
We're livin' in a Russian gangsta's paradise
Been livin' in a Russian paradise (paradise)
Been livin' in a Russian paradise (paradise)
We're livin' in a Russian gangsta's paradise
Been livin' in a Russian paradise (paradise)

[Outro]
We're livin' in a Russian gangsta's paradise
We're livin' in a Russian gangsta's paradise
We're livin' in a Russian paradise
We're livin' in a Russian gangsta's paradise
