You say you a gangsta, that don't impress me none
You say you a gangsta, ain't seen a thing you done.
I do it all on myself, I ain't getting help
From no one, from no one.

Yeah I'm young, 21, living in a crazy world
But I know the difference between a man and a herb.
You fronting like you got it, claim they hitting on your wallet
Gucci telling you the time and you watch it.
Now I ain't stunting like my daddy, he's living with my grammie
Used to be a big baller, he's surviving off of gambling.
But I love him, he's my daddy, yeah I love him he's my daddy
Put him in a big house, before I ever see a Grammy.
And my mommy started working days at the church
Finding faith in God 'cause the real world hurts.
So much evil lurks, they just make us a work
But we can't find a work.

Abuela, mami, and the girls, in a one bedroom
South beach lifestyle, they just paying for the view.
Mommy on the couch, since she was 42
Sacrificing for the kids, 'cause that's what mommy's do.
So I smoke my spliff, I spliff it hard
Candy says to stop my voice is getting too harsh.
So I sobered up, and my thoughts they rush
And now I think of you behind bars.
Cross state lines, they spliffin' good
In Miami you catch a charge.

And the whole family tears apart.

You say you a gangsta, that don't impress me none
You say you a gangsta, ain't seen a thing you done.
I do it all on myself, I ain't getting help
From no one, from no one.

You say you a gangsta, that don't impress me none
You say you a gangsta, ain't seen a thing you done.
I do it all on myself, I ain't getting help
From no one, from no one.

And this recession's so depressing
My parents don't stop stressing.
Just hoping I learned all their lessons
And I'm paying for this session
I'm paying for this session.
And I'm paying rent, food, clothes, phone, Christmas presents
6 shots in, I'm just counting all my blessings.
No days off, baby, I ain't resting
I told my sins, now I'm done confessing.

You say you a gangsta, but that don't impress me none
You say you a gangsta, ain't seen a thing you done.
I do it all on myself, I ain't getting help
From no one, from no one.

You say you a gangsta, but that don't impress me none
You say you a gangsta, ain't seen a thing you done.
I do it all on myself, I ain't getting help
From no one, from no one.

On way to the top, I make with what I got
You want my number, baby, I'm on a mission, catch up.
Men selling love like thieves
But when the girlie leaves, he'll start flirting with me.
So I took my heart off my sleeve
Never trust a man 'cause they all hungry.
Yeah they all hungry
Never trust a man 'cause they all hungry.

Right when you thought you had me
Baby, you just lost someone.
Finally got over you, baby time to move on
Never learned your lesson, ain't even gonna question.
Why it went so wrong?
Right when you thought you had me.
Baby you just lost someone
Finally got over you, baby time to move on.
Never learned your lesson, ain't even gonna question
Why it went so wrong?

You say you a gangsta, that don't impress me none
You say you a gangsta, ain't seen a thing you done.
