Gangsta Lyrics - Based On A True Story - Lil' Mo

Yo', this is for the streets, okay 

This is for the streets, uh (Ooh woo ) 

You know I keeps it gangsta (Woo) 

You know I keeps it gangsta (Woo) 

Holler at me (Ooh ooh ) 

Yeah, uh, come on 

With so much drama in the NYC 

I'm tryin' to make this dollar, only got fifteen 

I'm from where grass don't grow and the birds don't sing 

Where police be wildin', but my crew is ('Bout it, 'bout it) 

This little life of mine (You see) 

Had me sittin' on 20s 'fore I turned 16 

Wouldn't trade it in for anything 

And I got nothin' but love 

I've got love for these streets 

And the streets got love for me 

Gotta keep it gangsta {Gangsta} every day 

Can't change what's inside of me (Woo whoa, whoa) 

So they can take me out the streets 

But can't take the streets out of me 

I'm gon' still be gangsta {Gangsta}, yeah 

'Cause the streets gon' ride for me (Hey, yeah) 

It's like everywhere I go, everywhere that I be 

Streets biggin' me up from West to East 

Down to the dirty-dirty and overseas 

They be showin' love, so all my people throw it up 

We gon' always shine (You'll see) 

'Cause anytime I needed you, you was there for me 

You're my heart, my soul, and you're why I sing 

I got nothing but love 

I've got love for these streets (Love for these streets) 

And the streets got love for me 

I'm gon' keep it gangsta {Gangsta} every day 

Can't change what's inside of me (Whoa, whoa) 

So they can take me out the streets (Hey ) 

But can't take the streets out of me 

I'm gon' still be gangsta {Gangsta}, yeah 

'Cause the streets gon' ride for me (Whoa ) 

In the morning when I rise (Morning when I rise) 

You are always on my mind (Yeah, yeah) 

When I go to bed at night (Go to bed at night) 

You will still be by my side (Yeah, yeah) 

You never let me down (Never let me down) 

So I'll never let you go (Go) 

This is dedicated to the streets (The streets) 

You got my heart (My heart) 

I've got love for these streets (Love for these streets) 

And the streets got love for me 

So I'm gon' keep it gangsta {Gangsta}, yeah, yeah 

Can't change what's inside of me (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa) 

So they can take me out the streets (Take me out the streets) 

But can't take the streets out of me 

But I'm gon' still be gangsta {Gangsta}, yeah 

'Cause the streets gon' ride for me (Yeah, yeah) 

I've got love for these streets (Love for these streets) 

And the streets got love for me
