Gangsta

Wyclef Jean feat. Butch Cassidy, Big Jack, Sharissa

Wyclef (what up)
Butch Cassidy (uh)
Sharissa (oh…)
From the West Indies to the West Coast
Keep it gangsta (Callabo)

(You say keep it gangsta)
But when the beef come, you're the first to run
(You say keep it gangsta)
Yo, that ain't your gun, it belongs to
(You say keep it gangsta)
You roll with a hundred
But when the beef come don't nobody want it (gangster)
('Ter, la-da-da-da, la-da-da-da)

I wanna dedicate this chant to my people locked down
Livin life in the yard
(Keep it gangsta)
Gotta keep a shank boofed up in they Timbs
Just in case a thug wanna play hard
(Keep it gangsta)
All this ice-grillin talk bout you King of New York
Now you wanna call the guards
(That ain't gangsta)
But it's too late when the guards show up
Cause your body's going straight to the morgue
(Keep it gangsta)

But when the beef come, you're the first to run
(You say keep it gangsta)
Yo, that ain't your gun, it belongs to
(You say keep it gangsta)
You roll with a hundred
But when the beef come don't nobody want it
(Gangsta)

I wanna dedicate this jam to the ladies holdin spots
When they fellas locked down
(Keep it gangsta)
They keep a glock in they fox, blowin shots til abrading
I'm in town
(Keep it gangsta)
And to the snitch that ratted on rich the streets got ya sixteen rounds
(That ain't gangsta)
There's only one place for a gully rat, six feet under the ground
(You say keep it gangsta)
I'm gonna keep it gangsta
(You say keep it gangsta)
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da
(You say keep it gangsta)
You roll with a hundred
But when the beef come don't nobody want it
(Gangsta)

Uh, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Yo, ay, yo, stop with the posin
Y'all ain't really holdin
I'm about to open the chapter of the Omen
Casket closin, bodies frozen
I, the chosen, y'all forsaken
Ante up, so the chains get taken
Flash backs of the Roxies in the making
Ain't no more MCin, ice is just gleamin
And you wonder why you got robbed
Cause your life had no meaning, fake gangsta
(You say keep it gangsta)

But when the beef come, you're the first to run
(You say keep it gangsta)
Yo, that ain't your gun, it belongs to
(You say keep it gangsta)
You roll with a hundred
But when the beef come don't nobody want it
(Gangsta)
Nobody, nobody, nobody
(You say keep it gangsta)

Now what would you do if Henchman's came for you? (gangsta)
Nine out of ten times you would flee your crew (gangsta)
So people you're lying sayin you're running these streets
(You say keep it gangsta)
You better watch out cause still waters run deep (gangsta)
Now what would you do if Big Jack came for you? (gangsta)
Nine out of ten times you would leave your crew (gangsta)
So people you're lying sayin you're running these streets (gangsta)
You better watch out cause still waters run deep

No, no
Don't lie
(Gangsta)
I'm gonna keep it gangsta
(You say keep it gangsta)
La-da-da-da, la-da-da-da

Gangsta
You say keep it gangsta
Gangsta
You say keep it gangsta
