Kehlani’s “Gangsta” is a track from the Suicide Squad soundtrack. “Gangsta” premiered on Zane Lowe’s Beats1. The film’s director David Ayer describes the track as having a “raw, broken, yet haunting quality.”

[Hook]
I need a gangsta
To love me better
Than all the others do
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
That's just what gangsters do
[Verse 1]
I'm fucked up, I'm black and blue
I'm built for it, all the abuse
I got secrets, that nobody, nobody, nobody knows
I'm good on, that pussy shit
I don't want, what I can get
I want someone, with secrets
That nobody, nobody, nobody knows
[Hook]
I need a gangsta
To love me better
Than all the others do
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
That's just what gangsters do
[Verse 2]
My freakness is on the loose
And running, all over you
Please take me to places, that nobody, nobody knows
You got me hooked up on the feeling
You got me hanging from the ceiling
Got me up so high I'm barely breathing
So don't let me, don't let me, don’t let me, don't let me go
[Hook]
I need a gangsta
To love me better
Than all the others do
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
That's just what gangsters do
They do, they do, they do oh
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
That's just what gangsters do
Gangsta was written by JMIKE & Djemba Djemba & Jason Evigan & Jacob Luttrell & Skylar Grey & Kehlani.
Gangsta was produced by Djemba Djemba & JMIKE.
“Gangsta” is “pretty much the theme song for Harley Quinn and The Joker” in the movie and the “gangsta” metaphor represents a strong loyalty between two people.

Being a “gangsta” denotes someone has a strong sense of loyalty, which many people like Kehlani value in a relationship.
The “Gangsta” hook was actually written prior to being asked to work on the Suicide Squad soundtrack, but the movie studio heard it early on and asked for it to be finished. I co-wrote it with Jacob Luttrell and Jason Evigan.
Many of this song’s lyrics could apply to elements of Harley Quinn’s turbulent relationship with The Joker. Harley and The Joker are both troubled individuals, but they are still incredibly loyal to one another.
