[Chorus — Lil’ Mo and Nate Dogg w/ variations]
[Both] A gangsta’s for every day
[Mo] So make sure that you keep it, G-A-N-G-S-T-A
[Both] And now that I know the game
[Mo] I’ll make sure that I keep it, G-A-N-G-S-T-A
[Nate Dogg]
Me and the ghetto where the poor people hang
Please pay attention they do ghettoish thangs
One out of three, yep a third of ’em bang
The other motherfuckers they be slanging that cane
Always out for money ’cause the money’s the game
Eastside homey it’s a Long Beach thang
You heard me right nigga this is DPG
With the superwoman standin’ claimin’ CPT
[Lil’ Mo]
I-I, promise I’ma keep it G
Rep my south team, hands in the street
Recognise game, and they recognise me
‘Cause a G like me comes naturally
Tho-ose, haters try to hate on me
But they got no choice but to do right by me
There’s no way o’ dividin’ me
‘Cause my OG’s in the streets gon’ ride for me
I-I, promise to do ghetto things
‘Cause I’m the closest thing to ghetto in this industry
That’s why I be chillin’ when it’s 90 degrees
While ya keep shit poppin’ how I ride this beat
And people always saying to me
How can I tell I’m really a G?
‘Cause an OG told a gangsta
A gangsta told a playa
A playa told Nate
And Nate just said to me
[Chorus]
