Gangstas Livin’

[Hook:]
S to the E to the A to the G
Straight from the S to the N to the V (X3)

[Verse 1:]
Since the age of 13, I was out on the scene
By all means, collectin' green from the fiends
As my bankroll swell as I stroll and bail
Through the City of Oakland, where the real nigga's dwell
Got's to get it, got's to have it
If a nigga dies - it's tragic, ain't no slowing down my traffic
Got the fully-automatic for the static for my foes and my rivals
Mom says I need a bible, but ain't no rule's in survival
So it go for self's, go for wealth
And if a nigga loses his health. that's the card's he was dealt
Ain't no resaon to cry over spilled milk, or feel guilt
There's an Empire to be built
So miss with that shit, 'cuz it's senseless
Nigga knew the game, and he knew the consequences!
He's out for the ca-yo, still got my ya-yo
Ruunin' that shit from here to ??? and even Colorado
"Handle yo' business" is my motto
Oakland Desperado, hittin' it big like the lotto
Got's to wear my vest for the stress, the test that I put through
I talk about shit that I do, not what I should do or would do
The real in the flesh in the given
A product of this mothafukin' GANGSTA LIVIN'!

[Hook:]
S to the E to the A to the G
Straight from the S to the N to the V (X3)
That Gangsta Livin'! Yeah!

[Verse 2:]
Rollin', now i got it all, standin' tall through it all
Finally got the ball, and ain't no time for a nigga to fumble
As I roll on gold ones and rolls to the jungle
Peekin' out the scenery, stackin' all the greenery
A nigga can't go nowhere without a gat, that's how it seems to me
But yet and still, I don't budge from the concrete
Posted like a soldier, i told ya, shit gets deep
See, nigga's is full of sneakary
'cuz I'm selling more cake than the mothafuckin' bakery
Gettin' jock by the nigga's and the bitche's
Killin' all snitches, 5-O gettin' suspicious
'Cuz they know I got loot, got troops
17 with a mothafuckin' Lexux coupe
But ain't not stopping me, the world is mine
Rain, snow or shine, I'm on the grind
Everything, yo, fool, is uncommon
No more welfare, and no more top rhymin'
Everyday a nigga from a ghetto makes this decision
To get caught up in the ways of this GANGSTA LIVIN'!

[Hook:]
S to the E to the A to the G
Straight from the S to the N to the V (X3)
That Gangsta Livin'!

[Verse 3:]
Now I'm in this to win this, to handle my business
Ain't leaving a witness, i got the gangster life sickness
It ain't no remedy for the play
I'm a victim, like millions, of gettin' paid
So I'm stuck here, stuck on the battleground
Never let my guard's down, ain't no turning around
Stack my money, keep my mouth close and go for self
'Cuz only way out this path is either jail or death
So I watch my foes, slow my roll
Peek out game as game unfold
Can't be avictim of my own negligence
My only protection against odd's ??is deep?? and
That's why I never leave home without my 4-4!
I'm smokin' motherfuckers, but ya'll don't hear me though
Is this my destiny?
Is God testing me?
Is the Devil tempting me?
I don't know, so I take's step's with caution
'Cuz as a black man, I don't have many options
So i stay busta-free, and clear of all pigeons
Keep my shit in 'cision that GANGSTA LIVIN'!

[Hook:]
S to the E to the A to the G
Straight from the S to the N to the V (X3)
That Gangsta Livin'!
