What Gangstas Do
Silkk The Shocker Lyrics

Hustler, baller, gangsta, cap peeler
I am a hustler, baller, gangsta, and I am capable of taking down anyone who challenges me.

What gangstas do for money
This song is about the actions that gangstas take to get money.

One-eight-seven, two-eleven,
Gang-related murder and robbery are the types of crimes that gangstas commit.

I'm 'bout it 'bout it see yo I'm down to do whatever
I am willing to do anything it takes to get money and power.

I wants money the powers the s*** n****
Money is what gives me the power to do whatever I want.

I need dollar s***
Money is essential and I need it to survive.

Til I win the lotto b****
I will do whatever it takes to get rich, even if it means gambling.

My motto is to get rich
My main goal in life is to accumulate wealth.

Hustler make things all right
Being a hustler is a way to improve my life circumstances.

Connected on our flight
I have connections and a network of people who can help me achieve my goals.

You need the Gs and keys over in the car
To make money, you need guns and keys to cars to facilitate robberies.

Drove back all night
Driving back after committing a crime all night to avoid getting caught.

Won't do nothing for some a**
I won't do anything for free or without a monetary incentive.

While I will do anything for some cash
If the price is right, I am willing to perform any job or task.

F*** the police
I have a disregard for authority and law enforcement.

now I from city fresh off a copper's a**
I have recently committed a crime and escaped from law enforcement.

What you gon' do when the bills don't come
When I'm broke and can't pay my bills, I will do whatever it takes to get money.

And what you gon' do when it's time ta lay it down
When my life is on the line, I am willing to risk it all for money and power.

Dis n**** don't give a f*** bout nothing but
I care about nothing except getting money and wealth.

Dollar dollar bills why'all
Money is the most important thing to me.

The real why'all
Being rich is the only thing that is real to me.

I'm tryin' ta get a mil why'all
My goal is to become a millionaire.

I cost these things that I can afford that I want
I will spend money on things that I want and can afford.

You calls for the Cadillac wit the fifth wheel
I will spend money on luxury items like a Cadillac with a fifth wheel.

And, I'm up in the trunk
I don't care about the consequences of my actions.

So don't get mad when you see me with a ski mask
I will wear a ski mask to hide my identity while committing crimes.

I be blastin'
I am not afraid to use weapons to get what I want.

I'm gonna get the cash by any means
I will do whatever it takes to get money and become wealthy.

The stash
I need to accumulate wealth by any means, including illegal activities like drug dealing.

Plus a n**** gotta survive and a n**** gotta eat
I need money to survive and provide basic necessities like food.

You're gon' be surprised when I'm over your eyes
I am a predator and will attack when my target least expects it.

when you see me on the creep
I will sneak around and act surreptitiously to commit crimes.

Dem n****z that feel us
People who agree with me and my way of life.

Be the killas and dealers
Gang members are often involved in drugs and violence.

Witness my s*** n****
I am a ruthless and violent gangsta.

Strong arm for skrilla
I will use violence and intimidation to get money and wealth.

Top yo mama for a dollar
I will do anything for money, even if it means hurting someone I care about.

Gangstas do what we gotta
Gang members will do whatever it takes to get money and survive.

Back da coke sell the powder
I am involved in drug dealing and will do whatever it takes to make money.

For the money and power
Money and power are the most important things to me and my fellow gang members.

No Limit rider
I am a member of the hip hop group No Limit Soldiers.

B**** don't make me sayin' no lotta
Don't make me waste my breath and talk too much.

If it's over my loot
If someone messes with my money or possessions, they will be punished.

I shoot and never miss
I am a skilled marksman and will use weapons to get what I want.

But's it's burned from my clip like a pot of hot grits
I will use up all of my ammunition to make sure my enemies are defeated.

Down for gangsta s*** for the chips and grip
I am willing to do whatever it takes to get money and power.

N**** down to do some work
I am not afraid of hard work, even if it is illegal or dangerous.

Put in work make it hurt
I am willing to put in the effort and take risks to become wealthy and powerful.

Take my hollow chips
I carry ammunition and weapons with me at all times to protect myself and commit crimes.

Wipe em wit my T-Shirt
I am so reckless and violent that I will even defile my own clothing.

Charge it to Da Game
I am willing to experience negative consequences and put myself in danger for the game, or gang life.

Chasin' fortune and fame
I aspire to become rich and famous.

Never snitchin', ears itchin'
I will never snitch or betray my fellow gang members.

Feds mention my name
I am a known criminal and often on the radar of law enforcement agencies.

Mr. Abel Mr. Kane stay true to the game
I remain loyal to gang life and will always be a gangsta at heart.

If it ain't about the paper we just can't understand
If something doesn't involve money, we have no interest or involvement in it.

If you ain't scared
If you are not afraid of me.

Better get somewhere when I pull dis trigger
I am extremely dangerous, and you should run away when I pull out my gun.

We some seven figure military minded n****z
I and my fellow gang members are military-trained and aspire to accumulate seven-figure fortunes.

Show me money
Money is everything to me, and I won't listen to anyone unless they have money.

I'm smooth I'm street smart
I am intelligent and crafty when it comes to making money and surviving on the streets.

But I don't play by the rules, n**** move til we get caught
I break laws and commit crimes, but I will continue to do so until I am caught.

You know I'm bout my mail n**** can't you tell
I am all about my money and will do whatever it takes to get it.

P gon' get me out of jail n**** he goin' for the bail
My friend P will pay my bail if I get arrested.

But I'm a sleep in my cell til they call my name
I am so confident and unafraid that I will sleep peacefully in my jail cell until I am released.

And n****z rappin' to me all night 'cause of all this fame
Other rappers try to gain my favor and attention because of my fame and success.

Now I ain't gonna let anyone get near me
I am guarded and protect myself from people who want to harm me.

He was hella tight
He was extremely angry.

I'm told em someone get out they came for a light
I ordered someone to leave after they came to me for a lighter or cigarette.

They suggested I wanted to be rich and I was like mad as f***
Someone suggested that I wanted to become rich, and I became extremely angry at the implication that I wasn't already wealthy.

But I'm bout ta bail ya out so why'all n****z stay up escape
I will pay for your bail so you can escape from jail.

Bos, Big V, Pokey, Mann, Mama 'cause we freakin' man
The names of my gangster friends.

N**** just waitin' for the champagne
I am eagerly awaiting the moment I can celebrate and drink champagne.

And 'cause that's me
I am who I am, and I won't change for anyone or anything.
