The inside✦ of a gangsta✦ (inside✦ of a gangsta)✦
The inside✦ of a gangsta✦ (inside✦ of a gangsta)✦
The inside✦ of a gangsta✦ (inside✦ of a gangsta)✦
The inside✦ of a gangsta✦ (inside✦ of a gangsta)✦
Yo, Jell
You know what I'm sayin?
I try to represent for all the brothers out there
And I know my latin✦ homies✦ have the same drama✦ with they girls, man
Won't you let em know how it's goin down
[Verse 2: Jell]
Man, I'm lookin✦ for a hina✦ that's down
But you don't have to be brown
If you wanna✦ hang around
All you gotta✦ do is stay in check
Cause if you're rubbin✦ me right
Then you can bet you'll get respect
And that's why I guess my feelings will have to show
How can you hide somethin that's in your soul?
Cause there's✦ more to the l-o-c
Than all the violence, baby,✦ that ain't who I be
I know my dogs and me can still pull straps
But I rather✦ have you rollin✦ in my Cadillac
Cause when we cruisin, thangs is all good
And that goes for every✦ vato✦ in the hood
Now sometimes it's hard to show the other✦ side
Especially when my crew is caught up in the homicides
Cause East L.A. don't play
And if I had my way
I'd kick it with you everyday
[Ice-T]
Whether black or brown, the situation's the same
Different hoods, but the same game
Some girls won't take the time
Others will stroll through our souls and find
[Outro: Teddy]
The inside✦ of a gangsta✦ (inside✦ of a gangsta)✦
