Quick question...

You ever felt like the realest nigga alive?

Felt too pretty or powerful to die?

Tell the truth...

You ever felt ugly enough to cry?

Have you ever begged for mercy?

Have you ever wished you died?

Tell the truth...

Have you ever taken pride in the crime?

Been too hungry to break down or hide?

Felt low down dirty? Or super duper high?

Or contemplated murder, robbery, or suicide?

Tell the truth...

Taken medicine for trouble in your mind?

Or taken down a number? For taking up a scheme?

I made her wild, beautiful take her 'til she skeet?

Take her to the penthouse or take her to the skreet?

Tell the Truth...

So the waterman he take it to the beat

And I take it to the 'mic

So we takin' what we like

Take it to your neck

We gon' take it to the bank

Triple X, Killa K

Black we take it to your face

Like, G..."BANK BANK"



[Chorus]

Gangsta, birth sign is danger

It's like thug is the drug

That make 'em fall in love

When love don't love nobody

BANK, BANK

Gangsta, star sign is danger

It's like thug is the drug

Ready rock, steady pump

Man they leanin' and they fiendin'

Cuz they can't get enough...



The Dee-Jay play this song in the dance

And every buggy on the block got the tune on blast

The TV is like the radio with visuals too

So shiny, so gutter, mean moody and cool

Tell the truth...

They might be doing things that you wanna' do

You fantasize as they be living it through

The big home with the beautiful view

You have a swim in the pool, and get fresh

And take a spin in the coupe

Tell the truth...

You probably want to feel the world in your palm

While hold a gun in your hand

And make 'em know you a star

Tell the truth...

And there's those who probably already are

They well known in they zone

Or they town or they block

Tell the truth...

Then there's the rest who are usually not

And the heavy dose of thug feel like all that they got

So they ready to rock...R-r-rock...



Ha, ha, heh



[Chorus]

Gangsta, birth sign is danger

It's like thug is the drug

That make 'em fall in love

When love don't love nobody

[Gunshots, screaming]

Gangsta, star sign is danger

It's like thug is the drug

Ready rock, steady pump

Man they leanin' and they fiendin'

Cuz they can't get enough...
