Gangsta Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No emotions
Don't talk with your hands
Your mannerisms
Should be more like a man's
Ah, you won't stand a chance
Ah, 'cause if you want love
Keep on flexin'
Be a little mean
All that matters
Is you're on the winning team
Ah, even if you cheat
Ah, 'cause in the end
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You want the hottest girl in the room
All up on you (All up on you)
If you don't it's criminal
Suit up like you're the boss
All the guys want to be you
Nah
[Chorus]
I don't need to be a gangsta
To be a man
Acting like a baller
That ain't who I am
And I ain't running with your crew
I'm killing it the way I do
I don't need to be gangsta
To be a man
Not about the gun show
Hope you understand
That I ain't rolling with your crew
I'm killing it the way I do
[Verse 2]
Make your voice deep
And louder than your friends
So everybody
Knows the women you've been with
Ah, show them who the best
Ah, 'cause in the end
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You want the hottest girl in the room
All up on you (All up on you)
And if you don't it's criminal
Suit up like you're the boss
All the guys want to be you
Oh no
[Chorus]
I don't need to be a gangsta
To be a man
Acting like a baller
That ain't who I am
And I ain't rolling with your crew
I'm killing it the way I do
I don't need to be gangsta
To be a man (No no no)
Not about the gun show
Hope you understand (No no no)
That I ain't rolling with your crew (No no no)
I'm killing it the way I do (No no no)
I don't need to be a gangsta
(Don't need to be a gansta)
I don't need to be a gangsta
(Don't need to be a gansta)
(Don't need to)
(Don't need to)
[Bridge]
No emotions
Don't talk with your hands
Your mannerisms
Should be more like a man's
Ah, but I don't give a damn
[Chorus]
I don't need to be a gangsta
To be a man
Acting like a baller
That ain't who I am
And I ain't rolling with your crew
I'm killing it the way I do
I don't need to be gangsta
To be a man
Not about the gun show
Hope you understand
That I ain't rolling with your crew
I'm killing it the way I do
I don't need to be a gangsta
(Don't need to be a gansta)
(Don't need to)
I don't need to be a gangsta
(Don't need to be a gangsta)
(Don't need to)
[Outro]
I don't need to be a gangsta
