Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Psych! Oh no!
It's '98 y'all and we got some new shit
What we say? Yes (Haha)
Fade the world in this motherfucker
That's right, ah ha
Check it out
[Verse 2]
Fuck what you heard baby
I'm DJ Quik
Whether on TV or in these streets
I'm still the shit
I went from drinkin' 8 Ball and makin' demos
To drinkin' Hennessy and Chivas Regal
In the back of the limo
Gettin' my issue in life, you can't hate that
And when I tell 'bout yourself, ****
You can't take that
'Cause y'all be cross fadin' if you don't understand
You got a side and 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
Hit them brown bubbles and avoidin' trouble
Hoes to choose with nothin' to lose
And a million motherfuckers wanna
Be in my shoes, but you don't understand
[Verse 3]
Beyond the parties and cheer
I been broke my whole career
Breakin' bread with my peers
Bought a '96 Impala, the new double S
Before the twenty thousand mile mark
I gave it to 'sis
I could never bust a new shoe
If my nephews ain't got 'em
Fila, Jumpman, Cortez, yeah
I'm comin' out the pocket
Put my homies in the hood up on it
When I'm around
'Cause there's a difference between
Bein' a thug and bein' down, now
[Verse 4]
Bang bang boogie de bang de bang boogie
To the boogie bang boogie da bang
Fuck what you sayin' ****, you's a gangsta (No I'm not)
**** you's a gangsta (No I'm not)
**** you's a gangsta (Uh uh)
Bang bang boogie de bang de bang boogie
To the boogie bang boogie da bang
Fuck what you sayin' ****, you's a gangsta (No I'm not)
**** you's a gangsta (No I'm not)
**** you a gangsta
[Verse 5]
Just 'cause I kick it with killers, don't mean I do it
My occupation's a musician and I'm stayin' true to it
I went from bein' a rider to bein' a provider
While I was straddlin' the fence tryin' not
Hit the divider
Just an impressionable human being tryin' to do right
Every now and then I get my manhood
Tested in fights, like I used to have a beef
With this cat named Eiht
And his homies approached me at the club El Ray
What was I to do? I'm on stage and I'm doin' my thing
And this ****'s out in the crowd, tryin' to hoo' bang
Givin' it up for his homies, and set trippin' too
But he wasn't from Rollin' 60s, mo' like Tragny
I wonder what's his problem, what he tryin' to say
Is his business personal, or just Fuck Quik Day
I approached him like a man, and not like a nut
He turned around and put his drink down
And straight knuckled up
In a dark club punches is flyin' all around
And even though it was me and him
The rumors went 'round
And said I killed somebody
Now how that sound?
How could I stomp somebody to death
That's bigger than me?
And I'm just a hundred and fifty-five pounds
Tell me
[Verse 6]
Bang bang boogie da bang da bang boogie
To the boogie bang boogie da bang
Fuck what you sayin' ****, you's a gangsta (No I'm not)
**** you's a gangsta (No I'm not)
**** you's a gangsta
Bang bang boogie de bang de bang boogie
To the boogie bang boogie da bang
Fuck what you sayin' ****, you's a gangsta (No I'm not)
**** you's a gangsta (No I'm not)
**** you a gangsta
[Verse 7]
See some don't realize the power of lyrics
'Cause when you rap about death
You talkin' to spirit, you see
You can say the things that 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 or slangin'
Just hangin' with trues
Give it up to my creator and that you can quote
But motherfuckers still see me as a scapegoat
Yeah, like that night when Biggie died
In Quincy Jones' spot
Like four hundred other people, yeah I heard
Some shots
Broke away with the crowd, nervous obviously
And the motherfuckers blames it on me
What the hell!
[Verse 8]
Bang bang boogie de bang de bang boogie
To the boogie bang boogie da bang
Fuck what you sayin' ****, you's a gangsta (No I'm not)
**** you's a gangsta (No I'm not)
**** you's a gangsta (huh uh)
Bang bang boogie de bang de bang boogie
To the boogie bang boogie da bang
Fuck what you sayin' ****, you's a gangsta (No I'm not)
**** you's a gangsta (No I'm not)
**** you a gangsta
[Verse 9]
Check it out
This song is dedicated to the two most
Prolific writers in rap music history
2Pac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.
It's also dedicated to the lil' homie from the 60's
That lost his life at that party
Rest in peace y'all
And to MCA, you get your head together
Maybe we can do a record, feel me?
I'm out
