Here's a little somethin' bout a nigga like me
 never shoulda been let out the penititary
 Ice Cube would like ta say
 That I'm a crazy mutha fucka from around the way
 Since I was a youth  I smoked weed out
 Now I'm the mutha fucka that ya read about
 Takin' a life or two
 that's what the hell I do  you don't like how I'm livin
 well fuck you!
 This is a gang  and I'm in it
 My man Dre'll fuck you up in a minute
 With a right left, right left you're toothless
 And then you say goddamn they ruthless!
 Everwhere we go they say [damn!]
 N W A's fuckin' up tha program
 And then you realize we don't care
 We don't just say no, we to busy sayin' yeah!
 To drinkin' straight out the eight bottle
 Do I look like a mutha fuckin role model?
 To a kid lookin' up ta me
 Life ain't nothin but bitches and money.
 Cause I'm tha type o' nigga that's built ta last
 If ya fuck wit me I'll put a foot in ya ass
 See I don't give a fuck 'cause I keep bailin
 Yo, what the fuck are they yellin

 Chorus:

 Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
 "It's not about a salary, it's all about reality" - KRS One
 Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
 "Hopin you sophisticated motherfuckers hear what I have to say"

 Verse Two: Ice Cube

 When me and my posse stepped in the house
 All the punk-ass niggaz start breakin out
 Cause you know, they know whassup
 So we started lookin for the bitches with the big butts
 Like her, but she keep cryin
 "I got a boyfriend" Bitch stop lyin
 Dumb-ass hooker ain't nuttin but a dyke
 Suddenly I see, some niggaz that I don't like
 Walked over to em, and said, "Whassup?"
 The first nigga that I saw, hit em in the jaw
 Ren started stompin em, and so did E
 By that time got rushed by security
 Out the door, but we don't quit
 Ren said, "Let's start some shit!"
 I got a shotgun, and here's the plot
 Takin niggaz out with a flurry of buckshots
 Boom boom boom, yeah I was gunnin
 And then you look, all you see is niggaz runnin
 and fallin and yellin and pushin and screamin
 and cussin, I stepped back, and I kept bustin
 And then I realized it's time for me to go
 So I stopped, jumped in the vehicle
 It's like this, because of that who-ride
 N.W.A. is wanted for a homicide
 Cause I'm the type of nigga that's built to last
 Fuck wit me, I'll put my foot in your ass
 See I don't give a fuck, cause I keep bailin
 Yo, what the fuck are they yellin?

 Chorus:

 Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
 "It's not about a salary, it's all about reality" - KRS One
 Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
 "He'll tell you exactly how he feel, and don't want a fuckin thing back"

 Verse Three: Ice Cube

 Homies all standin around, just hangin
 Some dope-dealin, some gang-bangin
 We decide to roll and we deep
 See a nigga on Dayton's and we creep
 Real slow, and before you know
 I had my shotgun pointed in the window
 He got scared, and hit the gas
 Right then, I knew I has to smoke his ass
 He kept rollin, I jumped in the bucket
 We couldn't catch him, so I said fuck it
 Then we headed right back to the fort
 Sweatin all the bitches in the biker shorts
 We didn't get no play, from the ladies
 With six niggaz in a car are you crazy?
 She was scared, and it was showin
 We all said "Fuck you bitch!" and kept goin
 To the hood, and we was fin to
 Find somethin else to get into
 Like some pussy, or in fact
 A bum rush, but we call it rat pack
 On a nigga for nuttin at all
 Ice Cube'll go stupid when I'm full of eight ball
 I might stumble, but I won't lose
 Now I'm dressed in the county blues
 Cause I'm the type of nigga that's built to last
 If you Fuck wit me, I'll put my foot in your ass
 I don't give a fuck, cause I keep bailin
 Yo, what the fuck are they yellin?

 Interlude: Ice Cube, Dr. Dre

 [Wait a minute, wait a minute, cut this shit]
 {Man whatcha gonna do now?}
 "What we're gonna do right here is go way back"
 [How far you goin back?]
 "Way back"
 "As we go a lil somethin like this" - Slick Rick

 Here's a lil gangsta, short in size
 A t-shirt and Levi's is his only disguise
 Built like a tank yet hard to hit
 Ice Cube and Eazy E cold runnin shit

 Verse Four: Eazy E, MC Ren

 Well I'm Eazy E the one they're talkin about
 Nigga tried to roll the dice and just crapped out
 Police tried to roll, so it's time to go
 I creeped away real slow and jumped in the six-fo'
 Wit the "Diamond in the back, sun-roof top"
 Diggin the scene with the gangsta lean
 Cause I'm the E, I don't slang or bang
 I just smoke motherfuckers like it ain't no thang
 And all you bitches, you know I'm talkin to you
 "We want to fuck you Eazy!" I want to fuck you too
 Cause you see, I don't really take no shit
 [So let me tell you motherfuckers who you're fuckin with]
 Cause I'm the type of nigga that's built to last
 If you Fuck wit me, I'll put my foot in your ass
 I don't give a fuck, cause I keep bailin
 Yo, what the fuck are they yellin?

 Chorus:

 Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
 "It's not about a salary, it's all about reality" - KRS One
 Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
 "He'll fuck up you and yours, and anything that gets in his way"

 Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
 "It's not about a salary, it's all about reality" - KRS One
 Gangsta, Gangsta! That's what they're yellin
 "He'll just call you a low-life motherfucker, and talk about your
 funky ways
