Gangsta S***
DJ Clue Lyrics

Who got the Gangsta Gangsta Shit?
Who else but us has the true gangsta lifestyle?

We got the Gangsta Gangsta Shit
We are the true gangsta lifestyle and have everything to prove it.

Understand why why'all nigga is mad at me
Others are envious of my success and the lifestyle that comes with it.

Sitting around like damn, that could be me
Others seeing my success think to themselves that they could have been in my shoes, but they know they are not as good as me.

All the cars and bitches livin' lavishly
I have all the luxuries of life such as cars and women, and I am living my best life.

But there's only one problem you ain't as bad as me
But the problem is, others are not as good or as bad as me and cannot compare to me.

Who could flip a record company from half a key?
Who else can turn a drug business into a successful record company?

And drop a gold album do the math with me
And who else can sell significantly large numbers of albums? Let's do the math and see.

Turn and go platinum, that would be
And who else can take it to the next level by going platinum?

Fuck it I lost count
I have achieved this level of success so many times, I have lost count.

Why don't you tell me the amount?
Why don't you tell me how much money I have made?

Since you gossip like groupies notice please
Since you like to talk about me like a groupie, then listen up.

I never go broke my name got 2 G's
I will never be broke as my name has two 'G's. (a reference to his name J-I-2-G-A)

J-I-2-G-A I flip that on the platinum and be on the next day
I am so successful that I can sell platinum records and be on top again the next day.

I be right there when your mics blow out
I am there for you when your microphone stops working.

I was there when your lights when on and when you lights go out
I am there even during the times of trouble and darkness, when your lights go out.

I right there with the same ice to light up your house
I am there with the same expensive jewelry to light up your house.

Just bright enough to see the gun 'fo I wipe you out
Just bright enough to catch a glimpse of the gun I will use to wipe you out if you cross me.

I'm the stuff Niggas write about
I am the subject of many people's writing and inspiration.

Jigga's A legend
I am a legendary figure (Jigga is a nickname for Jay-Z).

J-Hova end of the session
J-Hova (another nickname for Jay-Z) is ending the session with a powerful statement.

Fuck with me now
Challenge me if you dare.

We live from the 7-1-8
We are living the gangsta lifestyle in the 718 area code (Brooklyn, NY).

Got my chick in D & V At this very second runnin' your plate
I have someone in D & V (Denver) who is tracking and following you.

2 knocks on your door, One gun in your face
If you come to my door, I will be ready with a gun in your face.

2 Blocks of see-4, I put one in your safe
I will also use two blocks of C4 explosives to put one in your safe where you store your money.

Place the safe in the bath tub I got one plire
I will even put the safe in the bathtub and light it with a plier.

You better hope this money don't catch fire
You better hope that your money does not burn in this process.

You so soft no mask no rope one clip and I
You are so weak that I don't even need a mask or rope to control you, just one bullet clip.

Let this nigga run around untie
I will allow you to run away with your freedom (once I take your money of course).

I swear to god, you know the type that talk wild
I swear to God, there are people who talk big but are all talk.

But nigga's white cloud, soft as a baby's bottom
But these kinds of people are weak and pathetic, like they have never seen the harsh realities of life.

You know Jay Z's spot him
Jay-Z has heard these people talk before, they are common and not impressive.

I haven't heard him in a while
I haven't heard these kinds of people in a while, they are not worth my time.

And you know how come? His little faggot in the corner dialing 911
And you know why? Because they are calling the cops, like a scared and helpless person.

Snatched the phone get a grip thug you supposed to be tough
I snatch the phone and remind them that they are supposed to be tough, not calling the cops.

What you telling the cop huh? I'm taking your money and drugs
What are you going to tell the cops? That I am taking your illegal money and drugs? Good luck with that.

In the underworld we take care of beef ourself
In the gangsta underworld, we handle our problems and disputes without involving the cops.

And another thing yo we police ourself
Another thing to note is that we also hold ourselves accountable, we do not need external law enforcement.

Either you follow the codes or you sell cocaine
If you want to be a part of this lifestyle, you either follow the rules or become a drug dealer.

This life will swallow your self so get outta game
This lifestyle will consume your identity so it's best to avoid it altogether.

Go to church every Sunday and prey hard
Instead, attend church every Sunday and pray hard for guidance and protection.

Drug dealer (haha) don't quit your day job
And to all the aspiring drug dealers out there, don't quit your day job, it's not worth it.

Pop guns and rap jewels
We flash guns and jewelry in our rap videos, showcasing our wealth and power.

Mean while
In the meantime...

Burning in hell child
Our enemies and rivals are going to burn in hell, children or not.

We the center of attention
We are the ones getting all the attention and fame.

Show me love for my nigga blazing
Show some support for my friend who is smoking weed.

My niggas is made men
My friends are successful and have attained the highest level of gangsta status.

Gangsters shit get coke and sugar boes
Gangsta stuff involves dealings with cocaine and large cash transactions.

Got hoes for every home
We have many women at our beck and call.

And never fuck they own
But we never end up settling down with any of them.

Even though the Fed's got a sweating grip in the chrome
Even though the FBI is monitoring and trying to catch us, we keep going and live our lives like we always have.

Commuter case is closed they tapping' the telephone
Even though the case against us has been closed, the FBI is still tapping our phones.

Dialing' a 213 zone now
They are calling our area of 213 to gather more intel on us.

Got ?? slap a bitch up and send her down
If anyone snitches on us, we have no problem punishing them by slapping them and kicking them out of our group.

Felling me, I want to put this hustle behind me
To be honest, I want to get out of this lifestyle and retire.

But every time I look away he's hitting me blindly
But every time I try to back out, someone comes after me without reason.

I'm looking for the light baby
I am looking for a way out of this darkness (gangsta lifestyle).

And here it is
I have finally found a way out.

As soon as the nigga smiling
As soon as I am happy again...

Darker the night gets
...the darker the night will become (meaning things may actually get worse if I stay).

That's why we Gangster and you players
That's why we are legit gangsters, and you are just players (fad followers).

Take 2 to the heart Inc.
Take a lesson to heart, Inc. (meaning take what I have said seriously).

World most murderous
We are the most dangerous and violent people in the world.
