Gangsta (feat. A$AP Rocky & Big Henri)

There must've been something about my careless upbringing That got me into so much trouble at school and shit Could've been the drugs at home, maybe I was just a foolish kid I soaked up everything that I could from the people that stayed at my house Biker gangs, waking up to people that I didn't know crashed out on my couch Really didn't know at the time, that I didn't have a normal life And when I took that attitude to a new neighborhood I had to learn to fight And respect from the kids like me was immediately minority I guess it must've been that I don't give a fuck about none of y'all shit that sorted me Out from the rest of the haves, and the have nots took me in as kin Outcast, poor white trash, and that's where I learned to make my friends But I've always been a weirdo to my homie cause I wanted to go be an entertainer He was selling rock out his window I was the rapper and my best friend was a Gangster, gangster, gangster Ay, what we gettin into tonight? Step into the ride, lookin through the eyes of a motherfuckin Gangster, gangster So, am I gonna risk my life, to ride?
