So Gangsta
It feels so good wakin' up in the mornin'
Bein' this gangsta never gets borin'
Right before I eat my Cheerios, I look in the mirror, yo
Is that me playin' on the stereo
Slow and low, that is the tempo
I been fightin' for my right since I was 9 years old
Slippery When Wet was my very first cassette
And there was no such thing as the internet
Now my future's so bright that I gotta wear shades
And I'm just like the rent 'cause I gotta get paid
No dirt on my shoulder
I thought I told ya, I'm an old school soulja
Just one line away from a sonnet
Still a g thang so I gotta keep it chronic with the phonics
You know the other side of the pillow never felt this cool
I pity the fool and that's why
I'm so gangsta and it ain't even funny
Got my money on my mind and my mind on my money
So gangsta, livin' like a big boss
I know you like the way that I floss
I'm so gangsta, you can't tell me nothin'
There won't even be a discussion
So gangsta, you know I gotta keep it street
When I drop a few bars on the beat
It seems like everywhere I go, people stop and take a look
Sayin' damn Brad Breath, that shit is off the hook
Yeah, it took her a while, but Stella got her groove back
Now you other mc's are gonna have to move back
I'm the same old playa from around the way
If you don't get my references, check the resume
'Cause it's just another day, just another dolla
Gonna see my face on a billboard like Shunnarah
You're jonesin' like Norah for my unique rhymin'
The eloquence flows with impeccable timin'
Born ready, droppin' hits like confetti
Thank you for bein' a friend like Estelle Getty
Cooler than Yeti, cuttin' up like a machete
I can be a sweet dream or a nighmare like Freddy
And you already know beyond a reasonable doubt
That I won't hesitate to slap the taste out' yo mouth
I'm so gangsta and it ain't even funny
Got my money on my mind and my mind on my money
So gangsta, livin' like a big boss
I know you like the way that I floss
I'm so gangsta, you can't tell me nothin'
There won't even be a discussion
So gangsta, you know I gotta keep it street
When I drop a few bars on the beat
Toppin' the bill, the main attraction
Killin' at will like O'Shea Jackson
The impact's sudden and like Dirty Harry would say
Go ahead and make my day
So cool and refreshing like a Baja Blast
Even Jerry Garcia would say I'm built to last
Yeah, I'm a workin' man, but I ain't dead yet
Just like Ray Allen 'cause it's nothin' but net
Cruisin' through the city watchin' all the cars pass
And I'm feelin' southernplayalistic like an outkast
'Cause it ain't no thang but a chicken wing
I'm makin' heads bob all the way to Beijing
On over to Shanghai and even down in Bangkok
It's well known that I make the thang rock
I'm the baddest muthatrucka underneath the sun
Even Chuck Norris wouldn't want none
I'm so gangsta and it ain't even funny
Got my money on my mind and my mind on my money
So gangsta, livin' like a big boss
I know you like the way that I floss
I'm so gangsta, you can't tell me nothin'
There won't even be a discussion
So gangsta, you know I gotta keep it street
When I drop a few bars on the beat
I'm so gangsta
So gangsta
Yeah, I'm so gangsta
So gangsta
