Oh wow, now that cover of Gangster's Paradise could really use some lyrics.

Coolio's original song is a masterpiece. Especially looking back after the death of George Floyd and it's aftermath, that 1995 song resonates more than it has in the last 25 years.

It's words of the street and the oppressed are universal and timeless (unfortunately). Maybe take the bardcore cover and alter Coolio's lyrics to represent the lead up to the Peasant's Revolt of 1381?



Reacting to you saying "Coolio's original masterpiece":

Coolio actually sampled/covered the song "Pastime Paradise" from Stevie Wonder
