Gangsta
Kevin Gates Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Put the soda on it, see what it do
(Yeah) Yeah, all night, all night
A hunnid of 'em just sold it all (all night)
(Take it, cook it soft)
(Drop all on it, pouring all, all and all)
Ay, whatever tell nigga to bring me my pink phone, ya heard me?
A hunnid of 'em just sold it all
Bitch, I'm a big gangsta, I turn her out with that foreign love
Cocaina slanga, a hunnid of 'em, just sold it all
Surrounded by the angels, diamonds on when I'm talkin' love
She wanna be my lil' baby but I'm afraid to fall in love
She say, "I only get excited when the pack touch down"
Pray that we don't don't get indicted in the trap uptown
Bitch, I'm a big gangsta, I turn her out with that foreign love
Cocaina slanga, a hunnid of 'em, just sold it all

Hold up, gimme that money, lil' nigga
You knowin' that I'ma do right with it
Private charter, they snortin' that tartar
I got 'em surrounded by white women
I got 'em looking like Paris Hilton
Each one of my teeth got a carat in it (bling)
Ay, I think my plug racist (why is that?)
All he send is white (let's go)
They going dumb in the slum where I'm from
Got a drum on a gun like a pair titties
They say that I'm makin' a major mistake
For deliverin' weight but I barely listen
I got a play that I'm 'bout to go make
For like 200k in a matter of minutes
I can remember the day when the shit was a shame
And I didn't even have a penny
Brand new apartment and we couldn't afford
No new furniture, put us a mattress in it
Went broke in the mall, I was tryna keep up
With a image and still had to stack and get it
My daughter turned one on a Sunday, next mornin' on Monday
I had to go back to prison
My woman was pregnant with Khaza
I put it in throttle and got a new pack delivered
My sister was cryin', she want a new body
I went and got her some ass delivered
Grind independently, showin' no sympathy
Don't let the industry gas a nigga
Went bought me some diamonds, I did it for Mazi
But I never really been flashy with it
Kickin' myself in the ass
I went tatted the face of a snake on the back of my kidney

Shit, I give any man a chance ya heard me
But once you show me a flaw, that fall back game in full effect
Look, you can leave your gun in the car, dick
Luca Brasi, I'ma speak for him

Bitch, I'm a big gangsta, I turn her out with that foreign love
Cocaina slanga, a hunnid of 'em, just sold it all
Surrounded by the angels, diamonds on when I'm talkin' love
She wanna be my lil' baby but I'm afraid to fall in love
She say, "I only get excited when the pack touch down"
Pray that we don't don't get indicted in the trap uptown
Bitch, I'm a big gangsta, I turn her out with that foreign love
Cocaina slanga, a hunnid of 'em, just sold it all

These nigga showing me anger, they takin' it out on me
Hit the booth after I hang up with Maceiรณ Hazis
I really fuck with dude, for real
Disruptive behavior eluded me (I did)
Was truly been given a taste, considered this taste
For knowin' what foolish is (let's go)
O.C. on the road when the coca was slow
But I still was on go, I was movin' pills
Money discussion, ain't asking a nigga for nothin'
You look like a fool, for real
Thumbin' through hunnids attemptin' to limit
Consumption of drinkin', I'm through with this
Caught me a head in a few attempts
Coppin' the gat with a coolin' kit (let's go)
Depressin' as hell when you step on a scale
Goddamn, I got fat, I done grew some tits (man, I got fat)
'Posed to be a Muslim but they started judgin' me
Laser removing the crucifix
I hit Rodeo I'm not on the payroll, I shout to Laredo to do it big (ay, wassup?)
Shout out to players who movin' bricks
Breakin' the package down, boomin' knicks (let's go)
I throw you a four-way, two for six
Stand on the jacket, I'm too legit
I stand in the kitchen and do the foo'
Weigh on the digi one, two to six
Scrapin' the dish, she get her a push on a pipe and say, "Superman do exist"
Movin' the wrist that's movie shit
Ain't moving like them, that's goofy shit
Caught me a blessin' 'cause I'm a perfectionist
Shawty petite and her booty big
Tell 'em it's wonder this shit turnin' peoples into zombies
And I don't approve of this
I got what you want, I deliver the fungus up under the trunk of the Honda Civic
My partner denied me, his bitch start to bite me
He didn't want me to fuck her with it (well, damn)

Bitch, I'm a big gangsta, I turn her out with that foreign love
Cocaina slanga, a hunnid of 'em, just sold it all
Surrounded by the angels, diamonds on when I'm talkin' love
She wanna be my lil' baby but I'm afraid to fall in love
She say, "I only get excited when the pack touch down"
Pray that we don't don't get indicted in the trap uptown




Bitch, I'm a big gangsta, I turn her out with that foreign love
Cocaina slanga, a hunnid of 'em, just sold it all
