{"He's a he's a he he's a gangsta"} [repeats x8/and throughout song]

[Verse 1: E-40]

Funkmaster like Flex heavy metal rapidly (BLAHOO)

Knock ya out'cha socks put'chu out your misery (OWH)

Homicide try'na holla they wanna question me {"we need to talk to you"}

Cause I'm always into beef and smoke broccoli [coughs]

I do my dirt by my lonely I ain't tellin' on me

I keep my mouth shut like James Beasley and Lil D, solid

Find me guilty I do my time even if I'm sixty

Long as I get out with my pride and my fuckin' dignity

Real, born in it surrounded killers, dealers and robbers

Mommas identifying bodies in they pajamas {"that's my baby"}

Teenagers packing and writing 'round with them lamas {"rah rah"}

Squeezing on niggas like anacondas (bah)

I'll put tips on a nigga we can fade and we can locked up like this

So we can get off into some of that old shoot-em-up bang-bang gangsta shit (Blaoo)

Most of the time it's over a bitch when the form spark

This dog gotta bite that a back up his bark

BITCH!

[Kaveo/E-40:]

Yeah, broad day light or midnight here at it's muthafucka out

(He's a gangsta)

We don't bunny up we dummy up

One squeeze'll bring a nigga to his knees

(He's a gangsta)

You didn't know, we got five wordsmith come through and grand finale yo block

(He's a gangsta)

If we crawl past a bulkheads, it ain't on no sun it's off the map

(He's a gangsta)

[Verse 2: The Boy Boy Young Mess]

Black mobs, beaver minks and black glocks

Kim Cole hard bottoms nigga with no socks

This gangsta in it dawg nah ain't got candy paint

I beat it my cases with cash my nigga no running

My heart pump no fear to a nobody

You drive by material black Maserati

One nigga, one black mack, four black bodies

Giving niggas scared play homie like Greg Woolley

And I ain't into playing no checkers with'chu lil niggas

Homie I knock down pines and fuck over rooks

I got gangstas from that lil D ear shook

I catch ya digging in ya nose and life can get tooks

Niggas never seen a Canali suit

Show I showed em one and double so let'cha know I'm coppin' mo than one

When I'm yanking on sumthin' I'm poppin' mo than one

If I see ya ass and give ya a pass then ya owe me one

[Kaveo/E-40:]

I got stand over potna's that's train to go that it to the head off a backboard

(He's a gangsta)

We don't goony up we goony out we play the street as the next that a snitch a cognac

(He's a gangsta)

You bet not try to slot a bitch up under me cause I'll polish like a pimp's dater

(He's a gangsta)

We whoop ass, taking names and worry about asking questions later

(He's a gangsta)

[Verse 3: The Jacka]

Err place I show up I got the pistol trippin'

All my niggas feel safe when I'm in the building

Make a nigga feel raped when I slap his melon

With the ass of the cannon spot get ready

By a hyenas

Harder than life a level for we dine divas

Tech cool with ya sickness of swine netter

Never heard a tech cause these fakers a prime-retta

Fresh up outta Tina's back in the crime bidness

Keep my lawyer paid cause she is a damn genius

Keep my niggas paid to murder the star witness

Never saw a reign when niggas is start snitching

But part of the game is death so now it's just more killing

Selling up a pack to send in him to a fella

Who slit his fuckin neck fore he think about telling

Eight a thousand years like a Gladys Knight breakfast and I'm in the lobby fear cause

[Kaveo/E-40:]

Don't come though asking questions about who what when where and why cause you will die

(He's a gangsta)

When we hit them prison gates we ain't going to general population we going to the shoo

(He's a gangsta)

Yeah nigga, I'm about my money fuck with my family it's consequences or repercussion

(He's a gangsta)

I ain't goin lie, I know I got it coming one day, I know my past goin come back and haunt me

(He's a gangsta)

{"He's a he's a he he's a gangsta"} [x8]
