Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta

Verse 1
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
A real gangsta-ass nigga plays his cards right
A real gangsta-ass nigga never runs his fuckin mouth
Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas don′t start fights
And niggas always gotta high cap
Showin' all his boys how he shot em
But real gangsta-ass niggas don′t flex nuts
Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas know they got em
And everythings cool in the mind of a gangsta
Cuz gangsta-ass niggas think deep
Up three-sixty-five a year 24/7
Cuz real gangsta ass niggas don't sleep
And all I gotta say to you
Wannabe, gonnabe, cocksuckin', pussy-eatin′ prankstas
Cuz when the fry dies down what the fuck you gonna do
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Verse 2
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Feedin′ the poor and hepin out wit they bills
Although I was born in Jamaica
Now I'm in the US makin′ deals
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
I mean one that you don't really know
Ridin′ around town in a drop-top Benz
Hittin' switches in my black six-fo′
Now gangsta-ass niggas come in all shapes and colors
Some got killed in the past
But this gangtsa here was a smart one
Started living for the lord and I'll last
Now all I gotta say to you
Wannabe, gonnabe, pussy-eatin' cocksuckin′ prankstas
When the shit jumps off what the fuck you gonna do
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Verse 3
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
A real gangta-ass nigga knows the play
Real gangsta-ass niggas get the flyest of the bitches
Ask that gangsta-ass nigga Little Jake
Now bitches look at gangsta-ass niggas like a stop sign
And play the role of Little Miss Sweet
But catch the bitch all alone get the digit take her out
And then dump-hittin′ the ass with the meat
Cuz gangsta-ass niggas be the gang playas
And everythings quiet in the clique
A gangsta-ass nigga pulls the trigger
And his partners in the posse ain't tellin′ off shit
Real gangsta-ass niggas don't talk much
All ya hear is the black from the gun blast
And real gangsta-ass niggas don′t run for shit
Cuz real gangsta-ass niggas can't run fast
Now when you in the free world talkin′ shit do the shit
Hit the pen and let the mothafuckas shank ya
But niggas like myself kick back and peep game
Cuz damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Verse 4
And now, a word from the President!
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta
Gettin voted into the White House
Everything lookin good to the people of the world
But the Mafia family is my boss
So every now and then I owe a favor gettin' down
Like lettin' a big drug shipment through
And send ′em to the poor community
So we can bust you know who
So voters of the world keep supportin′ me
And I promise to take you very far
Other leaders better not upset me
Or I'll send a million troops to die at war
To all you Republicans, that helped me win
I sincerely like to thank you




Cuz now I got the world swingin′ from my nuts
And damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Overall Meaning

The song "Sure Feels Good" by Ultrabeat Vs Darren Styles follows an upbeat and fast-paced electronic dance music (EDM) style, but the lyrics present a contrasting message. It appears to be a tribute to the gangsta lifestyle, but in reality, it's a satire of the "gangsta rap" genre, which glorifies violence, crime, and misogyny. The first verse describes how a "real gangsta" never flaunts his power, avoids conflicts, and doesn't feel the need to prove himself. The second verse points out how the stereotype of the gangsta has evolved to include more prosperous and entrepreneurial characters. The third verse mocks the superficial and aggressive attitudes towards women that are often present in rap music. The final verse features a spoken word interlude where the President is a gangsta, reflecting a parody of things that are socially inaccurate or hypocritical.
