Gangstas Livin’

Lyrics

[Hook:] S to the E to the A to the G Straight from the S to the N to the V (X3) [Verse 1:] Since the age of 13, I was out on the scene By all means, collectin' green from the fiends As my bankroll swell as I stroll and bail Through the City of Oakland, where the real nigga's dwell Got's to get it, got's to have it If a nigga dies - it's tragic, ain't no slowing down my traffic Got the fully-automatic for the static for my foes and my rivals Mom says I need a bible, but ain't no rule's in survival So it go for self's, go for wealth And if a nigga loses his health. that's the card's he was dealt Ain't no resaon to cry over spilled milk, or feel guilt There's an Empire to be built So miss with that shit, 'cuz it's senseless Nigga knew the game, and he knew the consequences! He's out for the ca-yo, still got my ya-yo Ruunin' that shit from here to ??? and even Colorado "Handle yo' business" is my motto Oakland Desperado, hittin' it big like the lotto Got's to wear my vest for the stress, the test that I put through I talk about shit that I do, not what I should do or would do The real in the flesh in the given A product of this mothafukin' GANGSTA LIVIN'! [Hook:] S to the E to the A to the G Straight from the S to the N to the V (X3) That Gangsta Livin'! Yeah! [Verse 2:] Rollin', now i got it all, standin' tall through it all Finally got the ball, and ain't no time for a nigga to fumble As I roll on gold ones and rolls to the jungle Peekin' out the scenery, stackin' all the greenery A nigga can't go nowhere without a gat, that's how it seems to me But yet and still, I don't budge from the concrete Posted like a soldier, i told ya, shit gets deep See, nigga's is full of sneakary 'cuz I'm selling more cake than the mothafuckin' bakery Gettin' jock by the nigga's and the bitche's Killin' all snitches, 5-O gettin' suspicious 'Cuz they know I got loot, got troops 17 with a mothafuckin' Lexux coupe But ain't not stopping me, the world is mine Rain, snow or shine, I'm on the grind Everything, yo, fool, is uncommon No more welfare, and no more top rhymin' Everyday a nigga from a ghetto makes this decision To get caught up in the ways of this GANGSTA LIVIN'! [Hook:] S to the E to the A to the G Straight from the S to the N to the V (X3) That Gangsta Livin'! [Verse 3:] Now I'm in this to win this, to handle my business Ain't leaving a witness, i got the gangster life sickness It ain't no remedy for the play I'm a victim, like millions, of gettin' paid So I'm stuck here, stuck on the battleground Never let my guard's down, ain't no turning around Stack my money, keep my mouth close and go for self 'Cuz only way out this path is either jail or death So I watch my foes, slow my roll Peek out game as game unfold Can't be avictim of my own negligence My only protection against odd's ??is deep?? and That's why I never leave home without my 4-4! I'm smokin' motherfuckers, but ya'll don't hear me though Is this my destiny? Is God testing me? Is the Devil tempting me? I don't know, so I take's step's with caution 'Cuz as a black man, I don't have many options So i stay busta-free, and clear of all pigeons Keep my shit in 'cision that GANGSTA LIVIN'! [Hook:] S to the E to the A to the G Straight from the S to the N to the V (X3) That Gangsta Livin'!
