Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
COLD
I got ill intentions and I sure ain't holding back
I don't need no friendships cause these bitches full of cap
Don't get in my face before I send you to the sack
Don't you get it fucked up, imma handle it like that (WOOP)
You talk all that gang, boy you loud in internet
Fingers must be hurting, when I see you they gon snapI don't do no talking but my fist do, that's a fact
You don't know me, nah
But you know that I'm a threat
You talk all that gang, boy you loud in internet
Fingers must be hurting, when I see you they gon snap
I don't do no talking but my fist do, that's a fact
You don't know me, nah
But you know that I'm a threat
"Gang gang gang gang" boy, shut the fuck up
Fake chains, fake grills, blown up like a thot (Bitch)
Can't stand, can't hang, hide behind yo squad (Pussy)
When I get to bussing, I know you gon lawyer up (Huh)
Mad I fucked ya ex, she said you couldn't get it up
Ate her pussy like it's breakfast, fucked her till she got to nut
All these months you held a grudge, get to flexing and to stunt
Saw you do it for the gram abusing all that adderall
I feel the hate, I take a haze
I'm on my way to make ya life a hell
I don't feel shame,
Bitch, you a lame
Talk about me, boy you gonna get stretched
It's so insane, she giving brain
The way she look at me will be your end
Say you gon pull up, you speak for yourself
Boy you gon end up living in the shelf
I got ill intentions and I sure ain't holding back (Nah)
Don't get in my face before I send you to the sack (Yah)
Don't you get it fucked up, imma handle it like that
You talk all that gang, boy you loud in internet
Fingers must be hurting, when I see you, they gon snap
I don't do no talking but my fist do, that's a fact
You don't know me, nah
But you know that I'm a threat
You talk all that gang, boy you loud in internet
Fingers must be hurting, when I see you, they gon snap
I don't do no talking but my fist do, that's a fact
You don't know me, nah
But you know that I'm a threat
Yeah
Don't you get shit fucked up, homeboy
Yeah
The lyrics to The Soul's song "Gangsta" are a bold and aggressive proclamation of strength and power. The first two lines, "Who the fuck do you think you're talking to? Cold," set the tone for the rest of the song. The lyricist is letting the listener know that they are not to be messed with, and they are not holding back. They don't need any friends because they see through the "bitches" who are "full of cap." The lines, "Don't get in my face before I send you to the sack / Don't you get it fucked up, imma handle it like that," are a warning to anyone who might try to stand up to them. The WOOP that follows highlights the threat of violence in these lyrics.
The rest of the song continues in a similar vein, with The Soul calling out people who talk tough but can't back it up. They make fun of those who wear fake chains and grills and hide behind their squad, calling them pussies. The lyricist is not afraid to take matters into their own hands, using their fists instead of their words. The lines "All these months you held a grudge, get to flexing and to stunt / Saw you do it for the gram abusing all that adderall" point out the ridiculousness of the posturing and "gang" culture that is prevalent on social media.
Overall, "Gangsta" is a song that is all about bravado and strength, but also calls out the phoniness of those who pretend to be tough.
