The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Verse One: Ice Cube

Here's a little somethin' bout a nigga like me

never shoulda been let out the penititary

Ice Cube would like ta say

That I'm a crazy mutha fucka from around the way

Since I was a youth, I smoked weed out

Now I'm the mutha fucka that ya read about

Takin' a life or two

that's what the hell I do, you don't like how I'm livin

well fuck you!

This is a gang, and I'm in it

My man Dre'll fuck you up in a minute

With a right left, right left you're toothless

And then you say goddamn they ruthless!

Everwhere we go they say [damn!]

N W A's fuckin' up tha program

And then you realize we don't care

We don't just say no, we to busy sayin' yeah!

To drinkin' straight out the eight bottle

Do I look like a mutha fuckin role model?

To a kid lookin' up ta me

Life ain't nothin but bitches and money.

Cause I'm tha type o' nigga that's built ta last

If ya fuck wit me I'll put a foot in ya ass

See I don't give a fuck 'cause I keep bailin

Yo, what the fuck are they yellin

Chorus:

Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin

"It's not about a salary, it's all about reality" -

KRS One

Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin

"Hopin you sophisticated motherfuckers hear what I have to

say"

Verse Two: Ice Cube

When me and my posse stepped in the house

All the punk-ass niggaz start breakin out

Cause you know, they know whassup

So we started lookin for the bitches with the big butts

Like her, but she keep cryin

"I got a boyfriend" Bitch stop lyin

Dumb-ass hooker ain't nuttin but a dyke

Suddenly I see, some niggaz that I don't like

Walked over to em, and said, "Whassup?"

The first nigga that I saw, hit em in the jaw

Ren started stompin em, and so did E

By that time got rushed by security

Out the door, but we don't quit

Ren said, "Let's start some shit!"

I got a shotgun, and here's the plot

Takin niggaz out with a flurry of buckshots

Boom boom boom, yeah I was gunnin

And then you look, all you see is niggaz runnin

and fallin and yellin and pushin and screamin

and cussin, I stepped back, and I kept bustin

And then I realized it's time for me to go

So I stopped, jumped in the vehicle

It's like this, because of that who-ride

N.W.A. is wanted for a homicide

Cause I'm the type of nigga that's built to last

Fuck wit me, I'll put my foot in your ass

See I don't give a fuck, cause I keep bailin

Yo, what the fuck are they yellin?

Chorus:

Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin

"It's not about a salary, it's all about reality" -

KRS One

Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin

"He'll tell you exactly how he feel, and don't want a

fuckin thing back"

Verse Three: Ice Cube

Homies all standin around, just hangin

Some dope-dealin, some gang-bangin

We decide to roll and we deep

See a nigga on Dayton's and we creep

Real slow, and before you know

I had my shotgun pointed in the window

He got scared, and hit the gas

Right then, I knew I has to smoke his ass

He kept rollin, I jumped in the bucket

We couldn't catch him, so I said fuck it

Then we headed right back to the fort

Sweatin all the bitches in the biker shorts

We didn't get no play, from the ladies

With six niggaz in a car are you crazy?

She was scared, and it was showin

We all said "Fuck you bitch!" and kept goin

To the hood, and we was fin to

Find somethin else to get into

Like some pussy, or in fact

A bum rush, but we call it rat pack

On a nigga for nuttin at all

Ice Cube'll go stupid when I'm full of eight ball

I might stumble, but I won't lose

Now I'm dressed in the county blues

Cause I'm the type of nigga that's built to last

If you Fuck wit me, I'll put my foot in your ass

I don't give a fuck, cause I keep bailin

Yo, what the fuck are they yellin?

Interlude: Ice Cube, Dr. Dre

[Wait a minute, wait a minute, cut this shit]

{Man whatcha gonna do now?}

"What we're gonna do right here is go way back"

[How far you goin back?]

"Way back"

"As we go a lil somethin like this" - Slick Rick

Here's a lil gangsta, short in size

A t-shirt and Levi's is his only disguise

Built like a tank yet hard to hit

Ice Cube and Eazy E cold runnin shit

Verse Four: Eazy E, MC Ren

Well I'm Eazy E the one they're talkin about

Nigga tried to roll the dice and just crapped out

Police tried to roll, so it's time to go

I creeped away real slow and jumped in the six-fo'

Wit the "Diamond in the back, sun-roof top"

Diggin the scene with the gangsta lean

Cause I'm the E, I don't slang or bang

I just smoke motherfuckers like it ain't no thang

And all you bitches, you know I'm talkin to you

"We want to fuck you Eazy!" I want to fuck you too

Cause you see, I don't really take no shit

[So let me tell you motherfuckers who you're fuckin with]

Cause I'm the type of nigga that's built to last

If you Fuck wit me, I'll put my foot in your ass

I don't give a fuck, cause I keep bailin

Yo, what the fuck are they yellin?

Chorus:

Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin

"It's not about a salary, it's all about reality" -

KRS One

Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin

"He'll fuck up you and yours, and anything that gets in his

way"

Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin

"It's not about a salary, it's all about reality" -

KRS One

Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin

"He'll just call you a low-life motherfucker, and talk

about your

funky ways"
