You'z A Ganxta

Side, oh no, it's '98, y'all an' we got some new shit

What we say? Yes, ha ha

Fade the world in this motherfucker

That's right, oh, check it out

Fuck what ya heard, baby, I'm DJ Quik

Whether on TV or in these streets, I'm still the shit

I went from drinkin' eight ball an' makin' demos

To drinkin' Hennessey an' Chivas Regal in the back of the limo

Gettin' my issue in life you can't hate that

An' when I tell you about yo' self, nigga, you can't take that

'Cause y'all be cross fadin' if you don't understand

You got a side an' I got one

But you be crossin' over here to see what's in my hand

Yeah, but that's cool too

I gets my money on the double, that's what I do

Hittin' them brown bubbles an' avoidin' trouble

Hoes to choose with nothin' to lose

An' a million mothafuckas wanna be in my shoes

But you don't understand, beyond the parties an' cheer

I been broke my whole career, breakin' bread with my peers

Bought a '96 Impala, the new SS

Before the 20,000 mile mark, I gave it to Sid

I could never bust a new shoe if my nephews ain't got 'em

Fila, Jumpman, Cortez, yeah, I'm comin' out the pocket

For my homies in the hood, up on it when I'm around

'Cause there's a difference between bein' a thug an' bein' down now

Bang bang boogie da bang da bang boogie to da boogie

Bang boogie da bang fuck what you sayin', nigga?

You'z a ganxta, no, I'm not

Nigga, you'z a ganxta, no, I'm not

Nigga, you'z a ganxta

Bang bang boogie da bang da bang boogie to da boogie

Bang boogie da bang, fuck what you sayin', nigga?

You'z a ganxta, no, I'm not

Nigga, you'z a ganxta, no, I'm not

Nigga, you a ganxta

Just 'cause I kick it with killers, don't mean that I do it

My occupation's a musician an' I'm stayin' true to it

I went from bein' a rider to bein' a provider

While I was straddlin' the fence tryin' not to hit the divider

Just an impressionable human being tryin' to do right

Every now an' then I get my manhood tested in fights

Like I used to have a beef with this cat named Eiht

An' his homies approached me at the club El Rey

What was I to do? I'm on stage an' I'm doin' my thang

An' this nigga's out in the crowd tryin' to hoo bang

Givin' it up for his homies an' set trippin' too

But he wasn't from Rollin' 60's, more like Tragney

I wonder what's his problem? What he tryin' to say?

Is this business personal or just 'Fuck Quik Day'?

I approached him like a man an' not like a nut

He turned around an' put his drink down an' straight knuckled up

In the dark club punches is flyin' all around

An' even though it was me an' him the rumors went 'round

An' said I killed somebody, now how that sound?

How could I stomp somebody to death that's bigger than me

An' I'm just a hundred an' fifty five pounds, tell me?

Bang bang boogie da bang da bang boogie to da boogie

Bang boogie da bang, fuck what you sayin', nigga?

You'z a ganxta, no, I'm not

Nigga, you'z a ganxta, no, I'm not

Nigga, you'z a ganxta

Bang bang boogie da bang da bang boogie to da boogie

Bang boogie da bang, fuck what you sayin', nigga?

You'z a ganxta, no, I'm not

Nigga, you'z a ganxta, no, I'm not

Nigga, you a ganxta

See, some don't realize the power of lyrics

'Cause when you rap about death, you talkin' to spirits

You see you can say the things that can help us all ball

Or you can say things that make it bad for us all

Fix the problem, the only way is come to the source

Don't be a Trojan Horse, help us change the course

Everybody knows that it's bad in the 'hood

So check what you rappin' about if it ain't to the good

I did my part a long time ago I changed my views

Ain't no gang bangin' an' slangin', just hangin' with trues

Give it up to my Creator an' that you can quote

But mothafuckas still see me as a scapegoat

Yeah, like that night when Biggie died at Quincy Jones spot

Like 400 other people, yeah, I heard some shots

Broke away with the crowd nervous, obviously

An' the mothafuckas blamed it on me, what the hell?

Bang bang boogie da bang da bang boogie to da boogie

Bang boogie da bang, fuck what you sayin', nigga?

You'z a ganxta, no, I'm not

Nigga, you'z a ganxta, no, I'm not

Nigga, you a ganxta

Bang bang boogie da bang da bang boogie to da boogie

Bang boogie da bang, fuck what you sayin', nigga?

You'z a ganxta, no, I'm not

Nigga, you'z a ganxta, no, I'm not

Nigga, you a ganxta

Check it out, this song is dedicated

To the two most prolific writers in rap music history

Tupac Shakur an' the Notorious B.I.G.

It's also dedicated to the little homie from 60's

That lost his life at that party, rest in peace, y'all

An' to MC Eiht, when you get yo' head together

Maybe we can do a record, feel me? I'm out
