Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we gotta do or die, oh

Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we gotta do or die
Do or die, do or die

I roll around with big straps, I like to bust caps
Make money, hit the ***** and bomb *** raps
I be in San Bernardino like a mother***kin' nut
All these fools wanna kill me and *****es wanna ***k

Damn, but I ain't trippin' and ****
I got a ***kin' Calico with a hundred round clip
And at my pad, I got this fine *** *****
Long hair, big booty, with some big ole ***s

I don't be ***kin' around because I ain't no joke
A crazy mother***ker blowin' indo smoke
Because it's me, Danger, I'm chillin' like a villain
Smokin' chronic, ***kin' *****es, and I'd like to do a killin'

In my crazy *** hood it's an everyday thang
Eastside Trece is my mother***kin' gang
Hang, gettin' paid, ***kin' all these hoes
Lettin' everyone know that we some ***kin' criminals

Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we gotta do or die, ooh

Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we gotta do or die
Do or die, do or die

I remember growin' up in my crazy *** hood
Now it's time to put it down to make this **** understood
Simon loco, I think it's time to roll
I got my homies down with it and the rest in control

13 ST,now you see from the 213 all the way to SB
It's a do or die in the streets where I'm from
Eastside, South Central's where the Petho Pason

24 non-stop, you gotta carry your gun
Black and white, hittin' corners but to me that's all fun
Rollin' in the truck, got the glock sellin' rocks
On the block and I'm not givin' a ***k

Gotta make that green anyway you can
And I'm that Brown mother***ker with the master plan
So you better not slip, 'cause I'm lookin' for a jack
So if you putos see me comin', loco go for your gat

Gangster life in the city

Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive

1, 3, here comes even more
My mother***kin' homies breakin' down the door
Talkin' 'bout who we gonna kill and grab your gun
We gonna kill some ***kin' mejos just to have some fun

My homies catch you from the front, I creep and crawl from the back
Punk you for your sack, and peel your ***king cap back
Insane in my brain, 'cause I'm straight do or die
Dope money, ***king *****es and I keep on gettin' high

Straight gangster flow, now you know, here I go
Creepin', hittin' switches, bumpin', ridin' low
Danger sittin' shotgun, crook's rollin' up one
Got the rag-top down in this hot *** sun

Rollin' by the park we go
Hittin' corners through the hood puffin' on some indo
It's an everyday thing in the city where I'm from
Tryin' to do right but always end up doin' wrong
