From the "16 To Life" Motion Picture Soundtrack

Verse 1~

As a youngster I wanted to hang with the older guy's

No role models Young Gangsters who I idolize

I wanted 2 walk like them, talk like them & slang like them

But you got 2 be a Gangsta just to hang with them

Todays my lucky day because they just crossed my path

they did a robbery & I ended up with the cash

I took it back now I'm down with the crew,

they brought me in & ahowed me "the evil that men do"

Now I walk the walk,I talk the talk I carry da Gloc I jus can't stop

anybody want to step? man I'm down to box

They took me under there wing & taught me right from wrong

but everything seem so right so it was always on.

Now I roll with the YG's plus I got a bad rep.

We mob deep so suckas give us much respect

Criminal Minded down to Rob , Squab & Steal

I just got the word there's someone I got to Kill.....

 

(Chorus)

Cuz I'm a Young Gangster always down to brawl,

Loved by Few, Hated by Many but Respected by All,

Cuz I'm a Young Gangster trying to make my stripes,

but, my soul paid the price I'm facing 16 to Life...........

 

Verse 2~re

Now my time has come I gotta take this fool out.

To let him know what I'm about & I'll be down without a doubt

I got myself & my sister we're all alone,

we had a violent drunk old man so ain't no way we going home.

I grab my chrome, we had it planned out so lovely

Jumped out the Cutty & left the whole scene Bloody.

Somebody had to die I ain't going out like no ranker.

Now I roam through the streets as a Puro Young Gangster

I fill a tugging at my heart it won't go away

Cuz I keep hearing the voices say that,"Jesus Can Save"

But I'm 2 Deep in The Game things will never be the same

I already got myself a name plus Satan has taken claim

of my soul, so we roll running things in your residence

It's all about that money,money gotta make them dead presidents

It's not a Black thing or  Brown thing it's all about da green

You see cuz cash rules everything around me, YG's

(Chorus)

Cuz I'm a Young Gangster always down to brawl,

Loved by Few, Hated by Many but Respected by All,

Cuz I'm a Young Gangster trying to make my stripes,

but, my soul paid the price I'm facing 16 to Life..........
