Gangsta Gangsta Lyrics

[00:05.94] One: Ice Cube
[00:20.40] Here's a little somethin' bout a nigga like me

[00:25.87] Ice Cube would like ta say
[00:27.61] That I'm a crazy mutha fucka from around the way
[00:30.38] Since I was a youth, I smoked weed out

[00:35.72] Takin' a life or two
[00:36.74] That's what the hell I do, you don't like how I'm livin
[00:39.41] Well fuck you!

[00:47.59] And then you say goddamn they ruthless!
[00:50.22] Everwhere we go they say
[00:52.03] N W A's fuckin' up tha program
[00:54.88] And then you realize we don't care
[00:56.65] We don't just say no, we to busy sayin' yeah!
[00:59.34] To drinkin' straight out the eight bottle
[01:02.00] Do I look like a mutha fuckin role model?
[01:04.79] To a kid lookin' up ta me
[01:06.52] Life ain't nothin but bitches and money.
[01:09.38] Cause I'm tha type o' nigga that's built ta last
[01:12.05] If ya fuck wit me I'll put a foot in ya ass
[01:13.83] See I don't give a fuck 'cause I keep bailin
[01:16.51] Yo, what the fuck are they yellin
[01:19.22] Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
[01:21.99] "It's not about a salary, it's all about reality" - KRS One
[01:23.77] Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
[01:27.45] "Hopin you sophisticated motherfuckers hear what I have to say"
[01:29.24] Two: Ice Cube
[01:30.11] When me and my posse stepped in the house
[01:31.95] All the punk-ass niggaz start breakin out
[01:33.70] Cause you know, they know whassup
[01:36.48] So we started lookin for the bitches with the big butts
[01:39.16] Like her, but she keep cryin
[01:41.98] "I got a boyfriend" bitch stop lyin
[01:43.74] Dumb-ass hooker ain't nuttin but a dyke
[01:46.48] Suddenly I see, some niggaz that I don't like
[01:49.12] Walked over to em, and said, "Whassup?"
[01:50.95] The first nigga that I saw, hit em in the jaw
[01:53.66] Ren started stompin em, and so did E
[01:55.41] By that time got rushed by security
[01:58.25] Out the door, but we don't quit
[02:00.95] Ren said, "Let's start some shit!"
[02:03.63] I got a shotgun, and here's the plot
[02:05.48] Takin niggaz out with a flurry of buckshots
[02:08.15] Boom boom boom, yeah I was gunnin
[02:10.89] And then you look, all you see is niggaz runnin
[02:13.62] And fallin and yellin and pushin and screamin
[02:15.45] And cussin, I stepped back, and I kept bustin
[02:18.18] And then I realized it's time for me to go
[02:20.85] So I stopped, jumped in the vehicle
[02:22.64] It's like this, because of that who-ride
[02:25.33] N.W.A. is wanted for a homicide
[02:28.18] Cause I'm the type of nigga that's built to last
[02:29.95] Fuck wit me, I'll put my foot in your ass
[02:32.65] See I don't give a fuck, cause I keep bailin
[02:35.37] Yo, what the fuck are they yellin?
[02:38.02] Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
[02:39.81] "It's not about a salary, it's all about reality" - KRS One
[02:42.51] Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
[02:44.34] "He'll tell you exactly how he feel, and don't want a fuckin thing back"
[02:48.06] Three: Ice Cube
[02:48.92] Homies all standin around, just hangin
[02:49.82] Some dope-dealin, some gang-bangin
[02:52.53] We decide to roll and we deep
[02:55.21] See a nigga on Dayton's and we creep
[02:57.07] Real slow, and before you know
[02:59.72] I had my shotgun pointed in the window
[03:02.53] He got scared, and hit the gas
[03:05.23] Right then, I knew I has to smoke his ass
[03:07.08] He kept rollin, I jumped in the bucket
[03:09.75] We couldn't catch him, so I said fuck it
[03:12.49] Then we headed right back to the fort
[03:14.24] Sweatin all the bitches in the biker shorts
[03:16.99] We didn't get no play, from the ladies
[03:19.67] With six niggaz in a car are you crazy?
[03:22.48] She was scared, and it was showin
[03:24.28] We all said "fuck you bitch!" and kept goin
[03:26.90] To the hood, and we was fin to
[03:29.63] Find somethin else to get into
[03:33.27] Like some pussy, or in fact
[03:34.16] A bum rush, but we call it rat pack
[03:36.86] On a nigga for nuttin at all
[03:38.71] Ice Cube'll go stupid when I'm full of eight ball
