So you want to be a gangster all that sh*t

Smoke any motherf**ker don't even trip

You be hard as hell take whatever you want

Punk suckers wanna front -- they get done

Cause you a gangster -- nuttin more nuttin less

Put my boy to the test and catch one in your chest

Since he was young homeboy won't back down

Cause real gangsters always hold that frown

Until you lose control then you sell your soul

To the devil motherf**ker cause you're way too cold

And all the people hide and just run inside

Cause you keep usin yo' gat commitin homicide

Boy I tell ya Life Is way Too $hort

Another brother just got smoked

And you killed him -- ain't that a b**ch

Cause it really ain't sh*t

(gangsta gangsta)

Shoot em up (gangsters)

That ain't cool (gangsters)

Ain't that a b**ch (gangsters)

Shoot em up (gangsters)

That ain't cool (gangsters)

Let me tell you somethin youngster you got it all wrong

Gangsters don't live that long

I had gangster potnahs get they HEADS to' off

For some of that gangster sh*t get caught in the cross

You want stripes take yo' a** to the service

Cause when it's on ain't no time to get nervous

Pull the trigger yeah you did it

You'se a gangster and I got to admit it

But you'se a youngbuck you ain't learned yet

Killing don't make you a vet

Get out the fast line -- stick with the homeboys

Ready made gangster get gone boy

Cause where I'm from it's the same old sh*t

You call them shots when you're down with the click

Niggaz dyin everyday but that's a black thang

You either sell d**e or your gangbang

But you got the biggest heart in the click man

You did a murder and now you're a hitman

All your homies tryin to tell you that ain't cool

Playin shoot 'em up like a f**kin fool

But you'se a gangster one they can't destroy

Don't even give a f**k about your boys

You go for self you wanna be on top

F**ked around and now your brother's shot

(gangsters)

Shoot em up (gangsters)

That ain't cool (gangsters)

Ain't that a b**ch (gangsters)

Shoot em up (gangsters)

That ain't cool (gangsters)

(gangsters) Ain't that a b**ch

(gangsters) And it don't stop

To the beat
