Gangsta Love
Mr. Lil One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That we ain't going to make it but don't worry
Believe in me and call my name whenever you need me
I'll always be there for you no matter what my daddy says
[Chorus]
Daddy I'm in love with a thug
Daddy I'm in love with a gangsta.
Don't be mad cause I'm in love with a gangsta.
I never thought that I would meet the girl
That would stick around even though you told me
That your parents use to say I told you so
He's a bald headed gangster
And through his eyes I see insanity
But girl that never stopped you
And to this day I rock you
You're my girl
And you're the one that's always been around
When I needed love you held me tight
You kissed me through the night
People told you that I was violent
People told you that I was crazy
But still we both remain as one
When you feel pain, I feel the pain
You never left my side
When you was mad you kept it all inside
You never told me matter fact you use to hold me
And that was just like nothing
Like the world was made for me and you
You're so damn strong
I dedicate to you this song
Cause you're the woman that's seen the way
I've now became a man
I now make money off my raps
Don't need to take fools off the map
But I will if I have to don't think that I went soft
All things be the same
I'll put a hole inside your brain.
[Chorus]
I'm gonna thank you for those times
You put a smile upon my face
You've always been able to make me see
That life be rough but I be tough
I gotta keep on fighting
All them trials and tribulations
Life ain't never been fair
But I gotta stay on top to make it through
I gotta make it can't let no muthafucker take it
I always keep it real with the shit that I reveal
I can't let all them evil thoughts
That creep up all inside me
I gotta maintain composure
Cause the devil walks beside me
Got good and bad upon my shoulders
But I feel one heavy
I'm so deranged
My mind's insane
I'm cursed
I'm dead already
Now what am I to do when death
Keeps calling out my name
I feel the pain but I won't complain
I'll sit and watch the rain
Start thinking
Reminiscing bout them times we use to have
All them times we still be having
Cause it's you that's got the manin
Thoughts that make me see how much I love you
I put no one above you
And I'm always thinking of you.
[Chorus]
I wanted to sweat you
Since the very first day that I met you
But girl you made me wait
Do you remember our first date
I tried to grab your hand
You pushed me back and told me to stop
When all that I wanted to do was hold
And try to make you mine
Whoever thought that me and you
Would get to be what we now be
Two joined together as one forever
You and I will stick together
Baby you're the one that's made me realize
That life is what you make it
And without you I won't make it .
That's right I know yous in love
With this gangsta a real G
Coming out that SD baby
It's just you and me for eternity
Know what I'm sayin
[Chorus]
This is going out
To the one that's made my life complete
For you have got to be an angel
Sent from up above
Cause ain't no other girl
Would have put up with the kinda shit I do
I'm a criminal, I'm a gansta
And I do all that shit that evil fools do
But you've sticked by me no matter
What happens and I love you
Much respect
[Chorus]
