Columbia roughhouse records present a refugee camp production Fugees the score
and now for our feature presentation
I'm Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis and this is Gangsta
Jumping from high trees on a bumper, cowboys, bang bang or whatever you know
Like my man, he trying to shoot a joke he had beef with
He want him shooting my man up in the hospital
Trying to be cowboys, they can't even shoot
Trying to be gangstas but when the beats come on them
We go full block, everybody break out
They was beating my man Bob G up the other day
Cops, pigs, just bamboozling on everybody
Standing around just watching this *** take place
Just always take place
Because they only gangstas when it come to being gangstas to they self
They wanna be Corleone or Nuiji or Gambino or Goddard
Whatever the *** that is that people don't even like
They run around calling themselves Rahim or Fuquan or Mustafa
And those bitches, we think they got power
I got power, I got power, I got a family
I got family that be missin'
Or Avon or Chancellor or Prince V
Chadwick or Stratford
Chancellor or Bellsburg
All of the brick city boy, that's my family
We gon' settle the score
Once and for all, I ain't gon' sit around and let jokers kill me softly, kid
I'm going out, I'm going out like a bang
And all these zealots out here
Trying to steal and trying to bite and take what I got
Like all these big record companies
These corporations, these stores, they try to rob me
Nah man, I'm going, I'ma get my girl and we gon' go out together
She gon' be a soldier, kid
When I go out, she go out
We gon' make what we believe manifest
Love that, cause if you ain't ready now
You ain't never gon' be ready
