From Mount Project, Brixton, Compton
We original, familiar as some critical
Gangsta, now you been lookin' pitiful, ain't ya?
You ain't no motherfuckin' gangster
You gotta walk in the shoes of a gangsta
And you gotta pay your dues to be a gangsta
Yo, them niggas make the news, they caught

Servin' them fiends, hustlin', real gangsta
They ain't hustlin' for nothin' cause that ain't gangsta
Nah, hold me, them Hill, gangsta
They'll break your jaw, hold me, them East Coast, gangsta
On the grind in the West Coast
Gang bangin', throwin' signs, my town south, gangsta
Gettin' crazy paid, peace, so, gangsta
Throw the gags to your braids
This is for my, gangsta, in the grave
And this is for my, gangsta, locked in the cage
Keep that shit, gangsta, sharpen up them blades
This is for my, gangsta, on lockdown
And my niggas got the block locked down
We gangstas, nigga, we'll gunna, down
Gangsta, gangsta, is you or ain't ya?
Them gangstas'll shoot you or shank ya
They say this gangsta music changes, but I'ma keep it
Even if I'm famous, we ain't with ya
So y'all better respect us
Matter of fact, you ain't no motherfuckin'
You a car thief
Nigga, if you, then try to harm me
Good shit, dawg, you gon' need to honor me
Don't have me, I have to call them niggas from Coral Street
They bringin' more heat, come to start a war with beasts
Monsters, Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees
Nigga, I love this gangsta shit
No guns in the pen, now shank you, quit
Now Nasta, gangsta, shit, shit, shit
Joe B's goin' to the bank with this
Now Nasta, gangsta, beast is in
Watch me sloppy Joe off the Seagram's gym
Go to jail, back out in the streets again
If drop the gun, put the heat to his chin
Now Nasta, gangsta, gangsta, is you or ain't ya?
Them gangstas'll shoot you or shank ya
Niggas say this gangsta needs a changer
But I'ma keep it, even if I'm famous
(Gangsta)
