[Intro: Eazy-E & Sample] Yo, Dre! Gimme a funky-ass bassline! Right here! [Verse 1: Ice Cube] Here's a little somethin' 'bout a nigga like me Never should've been let out the penitentiary Ice Cube would like to say That I'm a crazy motherfucker from around the way Since I was a youth, I smoked weed out Now I'm the motherfucker that you read about Takin' a life or two, that's what the hell I do You don't like how I'm livin'? Well, fuck you! This is a gang, and I'm in it My man Dre'll fuck you up in a minute With a right-left, right left ya toothless And then you say "Goddamn, they ruthless!" Everywhere we go they say, "Damn!" N.W.A's fuckin' up the program And then you realize we don't care We don't just say no, we're too busy sayin', "Yeah!" About drinkin' straight out the eight bottle Do I look like a motherfuckin' role model? To a kid lookin' up to me Life ain't nothin' but bitches and money [Pre-Chorus: Ice Cube] 'Cause I'm the type of nigga that's built to last If you fuck with me, I'll put my foot in your ass See, I don't give a fuck, 'cause I keep bellin' Yo! What the fuck are they yellin'? [Chorus: MC Ren & Sample] Gangsta! Gangsta! That's what they yellin' It's not about a salary, it's all about reality Gangsta! Gangsta! Hopin' you sophisticated motherfuckers hear what I have to say [Verse 2: Ice Cube] When me and my posse stepped in the house All the punk-ass niggas start breakin' out 'Cause you know, they know what's up So we started lookin' for the bitches with the big butts Like her, but she keep cryin' "I got a boyfriend"; bitch, stop lyin'! Dumb-ass hooker ain't nothin' but a dyke Suddenly, I see some niggas that I don't like Walked over to 'em, and said, "What's up?" The first nigga that I saw, hit him in the jaw Ren started stompin' him, and so did E By that time, got rushed by security Out the door, but we don't quit Ren said "Let's start some shit!" I got a shotgun, and here's the plot: Takin' niggas out with a flurry of buckshots Boom! Boom! Boom! Yeah, I was gunnin' And then you look, all you see is niggas runnin' And fallin' and yellin' and pushin' and screamin' and cussin' I stepped back and I kept bustin' And then I realized it's time for me to go So I stopped, jumped in the vehicle It's like this, because of that who-ride N.W.A is wanted for a homicide [Pre-Chorus: Ice Cube] 'Cause I'm the type of nigga that's built to last Fuck with me, I'll put my foot in your ass See, I don't give a fuck, 'cause I keep bellin' Yo, what the fuck are they yellin'? [Chorus: MC Ren & Sample] Gangsta! Gangsta! That's what they yellin' It's not about a salary, it's all about reality Gangsta! Gangsta! He'll tell you exactly how he feel And don't hold a fuckin' thing back [Verse 3: Ice Cube] Homies all standin' around, just hangin' Some dope-dealin', some gangbangin' We decide to roll and we deep See a nigga on Daytons and we creep Real slow, and before you know I had my shotgun pointed in the window He got scared and hit the gas Right then I knew I had to smoke his ass He kept rollin', I jumped in the bucket We couldn't catch him, so I said fuck it Then we headed right back to the fort Sweatin' all the bitches in the biker shorts We didn't get no play from the ladies With six niggas in a car; are you crazy? She was scared, and it was showin' We all said, "Fuck you, bitch!" and kept goin' To the hood, and we was fin' to Find somethin' else to get into Like some pussy, or in fact A bum rush, but we call it rat pack On a nigga for nothin' at all Ice Cube'll go stupid when I'm full of eight ball I might stumble, but still won't lose Now I'm dressed in the county blues [Pre-Chorus: Ice Cube] 'Cause I'm the type of nigga that's built to last If you fuck with me, I'll put my foot in your ass I don't give a fuck, 'cause I keep bellin' Yo! What the fuck are they yellin'? [Interlude: Dr. Dre, MC Ren & The Jimmy Castor Bunch] Wait a minute, wait a minute, cut this shit! Man, what'cha gon' do now? (What we're gonna do right here is go back) How far you goin' back? (Way back) "As we go a lil' somethin' like this — hit it!" [Pre-Verse: Ice Cube] Here's a little gangsta, short in size A t-shirt and Levi's is his only disguise Built like a tank, yet hard to hit Ice Cube and Eazy-E cold runnin' shit! [Verse 4: Eazy-E & MC Ren] Well, I'm Eazy-E, the one they're talkin' about Nigga tried to roll the dice and just crapped out Police tried to roll, so it's time to go I creeped away real slow and jumped in the six-fo' With the (diamond in the back, sun-roof top) Diggin' the scene with the gangsta lean 'Cause I'm the E, I don't slang or bang I just smoke motherfuckers like it ain't no thang! And all you bitches, you know I'm talkin' to you "We wanna fuck you, Eazy!" I wanna fuck you too! Because, you see, I don't really take no shit So let me tell ya motherfuckers who you fuckin' with [Pre-Chorus: Eazy-E] 'Cause I'm the type of nigga that's built to last If you fuck with me, I'll put a foot in your ass I don't give a fuck, 'cause I keep bellin' Yo! What the fuck are they yellin'? [Chorus: MC Ren & Sample] Gangsta! Gangsta! That's what they yellin' It's not about a salary, it's all about reality Gangsta!
