GETO BOYS - Straight Gangstaism lyrics
rate me
...when the fire dies down what the fuck you gonna do?
Damn it feels good to be a gansta...
YeahI take y'all way back
Seven years old
I'm lookin' up to the ganstas in the hood
'cause to me and my cousins yeah they represented good
Even when we played cops and robbers on the block
Nobody wanted to play the cop yeah
'cause the cop was a pussy-ass bitch
And if you played the copnigga you got your ass kicked!
I was a curious child
I used to hang out by the ballroom and study the gansta style
The way they talkthe way they walkthe way they act
The way they wore dat gansta hat
Tiltedrim layed flat out
Now that's the type a shit I'm talkin' about yeah
Cigarette in one handdrink in the other
Leanin' to one sidecooler than a motherfucker
With the ganstass nicknames
Killin' boypokeybig joego-deallil lane
True muthafuckin' mack daddies
Bitch on the sidedrivin' the '73 caddy
Wid a chrome plated .357
Ready to send a muthafucka on a stairway to heaven
I was fascinatedyeah
I let 'em influence meand my momma hate it
But she still gave me love
'cause my momma understood
That it was in my blood
See I was a psycho
And in a few mo' years she wouldn't have to worry about a michael
'cause I'll be makin' my own decisionsyeah
Comin' up fastclockin' cash
Straight ganstaism
Yeah... uh... on and on and on and on and on... yeah... uh
Break it down
Uh
Like dat
Like dat
Yeah
Now is '93
I got a name fo' myself
Made a little doughplayed the cards I was dealt
Didn't go fo' selfnow I'm a ghuh
And every muthafuckin' body know me
Niggas in the hoodall got love
'cause they saw me raise up from a muthafuckin scrub
And hoes that I know
From way back befo'
They used to say no
All wanna go to the hotel
'cause they claim that they intrested
And everybody talkin' about the shit that they wish they did
But I surpassed all that
They used to wanna know if I was downnow they don't ask all that
'cause they believin' what they seein'
A young nigga comin' up fastyeah
Sittin' back as a youngstapeepin' out ma folks
Some were straight g's and some when not smoking dope
I had to cope wid itbe a man and stay strong
Even though some folks didn't think that I'd live long
I watch grandpa shoot dice at the liquo' sto'
Gettin' licks in the dough ague and the big joe
Walkin' out the door wid a gallon of jack
Sellin' straight cess booze 'cause back then there weren't no crack
A matter factto this day
I'm doin' shit like grandpa in every way
I got my hustle on loc I ain't frontin'
Jus' a young nigga in this world tryin' ta have somethin' yeah
That's then you find and I know
That's how I was raised and that's how I'm a go
I dunno will I ever be a cell mate but I do know I'm never goin' straight...
