Gangsta
akon Lyrics

Alert, alert this is an UpFront street bulletin Coming live from FA
Attention all listeners, this is an important announcement directly from the street. Pay close attention.

(You gangstas, you playas, you hustlas you pimps)
This message is specifically to those who identify as gangsters, players, hustlers, or pimps.

If you a gangster and you confessing you kill a nigga on record You's a stupid motherfucker, this goes out to you fake gangsters I see you nigga, nigga we all see you We watchin' you motherfucker (don't make me)
Anyone who claims to be a gangster and brags about killing someone on a recording is not a real gangster and is foolish. We are aware of your lies and are monitoring your behavior. Do not force us to take action against you.

Nigga don't make me Have to step up in the club with my dawgs and show all you motherfuckers how we ball (yeah)
Do not provoke me to bring my associates to the club and demonstrate our wealth and lifestyle to you.

Nigga don't make me show how I can violet the law Get your woman go up in her raw dog Now the hoe love me Waiting to show me (lil bitch you just a thought) And that's how she gon' be But niggas wanna handcuff and l-o-v-e Steady claimin' they a pimp But won't let her go free Say that ain't gangster (na nigga)
Do not force me to demonstrate how I can break the law and engage in promiscuous behavior with your significant other. This person will then be attracted to me and not you. Real pimps allow their partners to be free and do not cling to them, which is true gangster behavior.

Niggas fronting like they hard But I'm knowin' that they pussy from the start Man that ain't gangster (na)
Some people pretend to be tough and intimidating, but in reality, they are weak and cowardly. This is not true gangster behavior.

Still in the projects But I spend a hundred thousand a car (yeah) I rather have a crib in Miami with a boat (with a boat nigga) Put all my niggas on so we don't go broke Yeah show 'em the ropes Sticking together niggas tryn cope Any one step in the way will get choked
Even though I am still living in a low-income area, I am able to afford expensive cars. However, my ultimate goal is to have a house in Miami with a boat. I make sure to take care of my close companions and teach them how to be successful. We stick together to overcome challenges and will not let anyone interfere with our goals.

Don't make me Bring out the other side in me So I hear you think you gangster I heard you wanna be Gangster, gangster, gangster Yeah fuck nigga
Do not provoke me to release my aggressive side. I am aware that some people believe they are true gangsters and even aspire to be one. However, this statement is directed towards someone who is insincere and unauthentic.

I see you cuttin' your eyes when I stroll See you despise flashin', pullin' them hoes 'Cause I'm a playa nigga like I'm supposed to be Ho's on a nigga, they supposed to be You a sucker so you hate like supposed to be And next time get your head cracked to the white meat I try to keep it fly but this pussy nigga tempt me Breaking a sweat, these other niggas ain't classy Noo that's really killing my pimping (yeah nigga) I mean really, really killing my pimping (really, really) Look what you gone made Iceberg do Call that boy, whole stomp down crew And we will kick that ass nigga (yeah we will) And we will I said kick that ass nigga (oh yeah we will) And tell you whore she can come to my place (yeah) After she burn me out for fucking up your face Now it's a goddamn shame Pickelhead What you did to that man (watch out) I guess that pussy nigga thought I was playing (yeah) I try to tell him but he like fuck what you say (fuck you man) Come to a understanding, he like fuck what you sayin' Only pussy nigga flexin' in front of these hoes and shit (kick his ass nigga) So I swung on that nigga, and his nose and shit (Ooh) (kick his ass nigga) Oh you think I give a fuck what your focus is (Step up nigga) So I'm lookin' at the next man like step up bitch 'Cause if it's going down, this metal round spittin' from my chamber (POW) Like David Banner you wouldn't like me when I'm angry (whaah) Restructure to your whole grill, don't make me have to change you (ahe) In to a stranger and damage your soul
I am aware that some people are envious of me and are disrespectful towards me, especially when I am around women. I am confident in my ability to seduce women, but this upsets those who are not successful at it. If someone continues to provoke me, they will face the consequences from me and my associates. I am not afraid to fight and cause damage to those who cross me.

You gangstas, you playas, you hustlas, you pimps You gangstas, you playas, you hustlas, you pimps Gangster, gangster, gangster
This song is directed towards those who identify as gangsters, players, hustlers, or pimps. The message is that true gangster behavior is not about being intimidating or disrespectful, but rather about supporting your fellow comrades and being successful together.
