Keep It Gangsta lyrics

(feat. Lil` Mo, Xzibit)

[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]

[Xzibit]
Nate Dogg reppin`
(Look!) X to the Z

I`m shifty, versus runnin` a buck 50
Tryin` to get large enough bank to get Britney
I`ma do Britney like Bobby did Whitney
Fuck her whole life off, donate my kidney (Yeah!)
Wake up to vodka, crash with the whiskey
My name holdin` to much weight, you can`t lift me
Came from my first out ghetto with King Tipsy
Hold a torch over my city, you can`t miss me
Niggas say fuck me but can`t fuck wit` me
Twist this shit, make your finger tips sticky
I need me a wify, shit I mean wifey
I`m so fucked up I couldn`t read my own writin` (Heh)
Clash of the titan, (Yeah!) no propaganda
Big (?) hummin` for you Tony Montana
T-shirt, khakis, tucked in bandanas
Livin` amongst the most scandalous on the planet (Yo!)

[Chorus x2]
