Gangsta Bop
Akon And DJ Sam The Man Lyrics

(Heh heh heh)
Sound of laughter

Konvict, (Konvict) eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
A reference to Akon's record label Konvict Muzik.

Go gangsta, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Encouragement to act like a gangster.

Go gangsta, keep boppin' (block all y'all)
Continue acting like a gangster and blocking out all opposition.

Rock wit' me; let's get this bitch poppin' (upfront)
Join forces with me and let's make things happen, specifically in the forefront.

Go gangsta, keep boppin' (g-eah)
Continuously act like a gangster with enthusiasm.

Like back when the nigga was glockin'
Reminiscent of the days when people would carry Glock handguns on the streets.

See, nowadays seems like everybody wanna be killers
In current times, it appears as though everyone wants to come across as a deadly person.

Gorillas getting high off they weed and liquor; you die quicker
The people attempting to act like gangsters by drinking and smoking marijuana end up dying sooner.

Paramedics drive back slow to the hospital
Medical teams drive back to the hospital at a slow pace.

You get pronounced dead at four to the hospital
Upon arriving at the hospital, the person is usually pronounced dead around four o'clock.

So stop frontin' when you know you won't pull none (pull none)
Stop pretending to be someone you're not when you know you won't act upon it or do anything about it.

First nigga to retreat when the tools bust (tools bust)
The person who runs away first when guns are being fired.

Playin' with death is bad for your health
Risking your life can lead to bad consequences for your physical health.

All your homeboys gone; you da last one left now
All of your friends may have died or gone to prison, so you are the only one left in your gang.

They hearts beatin', but these nigga's be scared (scared)
These men may have a beating heart but they are afraid.

The real ones are all locked up or dead (dead)
The true gangsters are either in prison or have died.

Nowadays you can't find a good connect
These days it's difficult to find reliable links to resources like drugs or weapons.

But if you do, you might be the feds so
If you do happen to find a reliable connection, they might actually be working for the police.

I don't know you
I'm not familiar with your identity or background.

You don't know me
You're not aware of my experience or who I am as a person.

You don't know the history I got on these streets
You don't know the knowledge or experience I have gained through living on the streets.

Only if you seen what my eyes have seen
You would only understand my perspective if you had witnessed the same things that I have experienced.

Then you'll understand why I'm surrounded by G's
If you had seen what I had seen, you would comprehend why I'm around gangsters.

If you owe me, or we got beef,
If you owe me money or we have a problem with each other,

I recommend you reach for your heat, and don't freeze
I suggest that you pull out your gun and don't hesitate to use it.

Pause for a minute, guarantee you gon' bleed
If you hesitate at all, you are guaranteed to get hurt or killed.

'Cause that's how we was raised growin' up in these streets
This is the mentality we were taught while growing up in the streets.

See, it's hard to be good, easy to do evil
Being a good person is a difficult task, while being evil is something that is easier to succumb to.

And I ain't really into meetin' wit' new people
I'm not interested in getting to know new individuals.

Jus' put the money in the bag
Simply place the money in the designated bag.

And I'll leave you with the weed, coke, lambo, or visa
After giving over the money, I will leave you with drugs, a Lamborghini, or travel visa.

You make a hundred dollars, to the streets you made a G (uh-huh)
If you earned one hundred dollars, in the eyes of the streets, you're now a gangster.

When you coppin' O's, they swearin' you move keys (uh-huh)
When purchasing ounces of drugs, people assume you are also involved in selling large amounts of this drug.

Feds getting close, and the rats seen cheese
If the police are getting close, the informants who have seen something important will come forward.

And they tryin' find 'em bears
Police officers are trying to locate and capture fugitives.

Not the one that sleep in trees (uh-huh)
Not the animal known as the bear that sleeps in trees; this is a different type of bear.

We got the purp
We have access to the drug purple Kush.

We got that blue (chika!)
We also have the drug blue dream.

You want short skirts
If you're interested in getting with women who dress provocatively,

We got that too
We also have access to those types of individuals.

Whatever you need
We have access to anything you might be in search of.

My nigga show me the cheese
My associate has shown me the money.

And, baby, you could believe that we can make that brew
Believe me when I say that we can make that money.

Streets been watchin', and they don't blink
The streets have been observing and paying attention, without ever taking their eyes off us.

Sidewalk get ears, the pavement don't sleep
Even the pavement has ways of hearing and the sidewalks never stop paying attention.

The fittest will survive, the weak just don't eat
Only the strongest will be able to persist; the weak will just starve or fail.

Everybody in between just getting the rap sheet
Those who lie in between the strong and weak are just exposing themselves to criminal charges.
