Wanna Be a Gangsta
Unveiling the Grit: Journey into Gangsta Culture
Lyrics
So you wanna be a gangsta, bang to death
Expressing a desire to be a gangster, ready to engage in violent activities leading to death.
Shoot to kill, represent your set
Advocating lethal force and representing one's gang affiliation.
Ride around in a low rider
Describing the stereotypical gangsta image, riding in a low rider.
No matter how hard they can go
Encouraging a relentless attitude despite challenges faced by others.
You can go harder
Motivation to surpass others in toughness and resilience.
Never scared to get down, quickly bust your Mac
Expressing fearlessness in confrontations, advocating quick use of a firearm.
Enemies get dealt with, never tuck your flag
Dealing with enemies decisively, emphasizing gang loyalty.
Stay dusted, high as a motherfucker
Encouraging drug use, possibly to cope with the harsh reality.
Get that working, lay down another buster
Committing violence against rivals and laying down another person seen as weak.
And the game, it don't matter, it becomes your wife
Stating that the gang life becomes one's primary commitment, akin to a marriage.
Ink in your skin 'cause this shit's for life
Emphasizing the permanence of gang affiliation through tattooing.
Pledge your life to the hood, nigga, you ain't cut for this
Discouraging those unfit for the gang lifestyle.
Motherfucker, you can't fuck with this
Asserting dominance and warning against challenging the gang lifestyle.
You wanna be a gangsta
Reiteration of the desire to be a gangster, with a sense of pride.
You wanna be a gangsta
-You wanna be a gangsta
-You wanna be a gangsta

Further expressions of the desire to be a gangster, highlighting elements of the lifestyle and the potential consequences.
Yo, that shit looks sweet
-You wanna be a gangsta
-Kakis and chucks in your feet
-You wanna be a gangsta

-You wanna be a gangsta
-You gonna die in the streets
-You don't know a thing about this
Criticizing individuals who claim gang affiliations without genuine experience, cautioning against the serious consequences of gang life.
Too many fucking rap songs
-They got you on the pay, this is your last song
-You sit behind a keyboard and you pretend you hard as fuck
-But you must've been hood, get your ass sold up
-And if you want to, boy, don't have to look too hard
-You can listen to me or fuck a prison guard
-Get caught in this world, gang banging is no fucking game
-Fuck around in the killers' fields and get blown out the frame
-I want you to listen to me
Strong advice for those not part of the gang culture to stay away from it.
And pay fucking attention
-If you ain't from the hood
-Stay the fuck out of the hood
