Lyrics

[00:00.68] So you want to be a gangster, all that ************t
[00:03.87] Smoke any mother********, don't even trip
[00:06.77] You be hard as hell, take whatever you want
[00:09.45] Punk suckers wanna front, they get done
[00:12.68] 'Cause you a gangster—nothin' more, nothin' less
[00:15.69] Put my boy to the test and catch one in your chest
[00:18.45] Since he was young, homeboy won't back down
[00:21.26] 'Cause real gangsters always hold that frown
[00:24.14] Until you lose control, then you sell your soul
[00:27.01] To the devil, mother********, 'cause you're way too cold
[00:29.87] And all the people hide and just run inside
[00:32.70] 'Cause you keep usin' yo' gat, committin' homicide
[00:35.64] Boy, I tell ya, life is way too short
[00:38.71] Another brother just got smoked
[00:41.75] And you killed him—ain't that a ************?
[00:44.73] 'Cause it really ain't ************t
[00:46.68][Hook]
[00:46.98] (Gangsta, gangsta)
[00:49.64] Shoot 'em up! (gangsters)
[00:51.68] That ain't cool (gangsters)
[00:54.57] Ain't that a ************? (gangsters)
[00:57.44] Shoot 'em up (gangsters)
[01:00.38] That ain't cool (gangsters)
[01:04.44][Verse 2]
[01:04.62] Let me tell you somethin', youngster, you got it all wrong
[01:07.78] Gangsters don't live that long
[01:10.58] I had gangster patnas get they heads tore off
[01:13.37] For some of that gangster ************t, get caught in the cross
[01:16.17] You want stripes, take yo' ass to the service
[01:18.91] 'Cause when it's on, ain't no time to get nervous
[01:21.74] Pull the trigger—yeah, you did it
[01:25.18] You's a gangster and I got to admit it
[01:27.94] But you's a youngbuck, you ain't learned yet
[01:31.24] Killin' don't make you a vet
[01:33.40] Get out the fast line, stick with the homeboys
[01:37.05] Ready-made gangster get gone, boy
[01:40.06] 'Cause where I'm from it's the same ol' ************t
[01:42.29] You call them shots when you're down with the click
[01:45.13] ********s dyin' everyday, but that's a black thang
[01:47.88] You either sell ******, or you ********
[01:50.68] But you got the biggest heart in the click, man
[01:53.78] You did a murder, and now you're a hi******an

[01:59.69] Playin' shoot 'em up like a ******** fool
[02:02.39] But you's a gangster, one they can't destroy
[02:05.40] Don't even give a ******** about your boys
[02:08.25] You go for self, you wanna be on top?
[02:11.27] ****** around and now your brother's shot
