[Styles - Verse One]
2
My pops came from Bed Stuy, my mom came from Africa
3
I'm more a nigga if you know what I mean
4
They hooked up in the '70's when liquor and weed was heavy
5
And have me and corone their dreams
6
By the time I was seven my mom left my pop
7
Then we moved to the south side of Yonkers, New York
8
Then my mom remarried, had my little brother Gary
9
My sister a year later, let me gather my thoughts
10
By the time I was nine I was outta my mind
11
My step pops didn't like me beat me outta my mind
12
Ten and eleven the same I never would change
13
He still had to hit me, aggravate a little nigga
14
Still wearin' Skippys
15
Bob had Adidas and Pumas, I could a had a pair
16
My mommy said wait 'til Christmas but I needed em sooner
17
If you heard I was broke dawg it wasn't a rumor
18
[Chorus: x 2]
19
I said Gangstas ride (Ride with me)
20
Gentlemen live your life (Live it up)
21
Cause Gangstas die (We all gon die)
22
It's only a matter of time (The clock tickin)
23
[Styles - Verse Two]
24
It was 1986 and I was twelve years old
25
That's right around the time when crack came out
26
It was the best thing that happened to me
27
I swear to God cause I was gettin everything that I was askin about
28
First we started off bangin up, me and golf
29
Then shit start addin up, we gettin smart
30
Now we on Broadway, coppin our own bench
31
Bring it home and put it in bottles, send us a rottle
32
Drink a old ease Grem like it wasn't tomorrow
33
I'm gettin kicked out of Junior High, thinkin I'm grown
34
God bust with the yellow rabbit
35
And I had every color dealt we was gettin it on
36
I was out robbin Mexicans six in the morn'
37
Mom said I'd had to ep again, rip it I'm gone
38
Nigga get a little loony and grown, soup in the dome
39
Bump me up worst when I went to the group home
40
[Chorus: x 2]
41
I said Gangstas ride (Ride with me)
42
Gentlemen live your life (Live it up)
43
Cause Gangstas die (We all gon die)
44
It's only a matter of time (The clock tickin)
45
[Styles - Verse Three]
46
I'm leavin out a lotta shit, nigga it's too real
47
My alcoholic backround, the welfare motels
48
Abuse that I had to take struggle at my mom's recruit
49
How the fuck I'm gon bomb wit you
50
And the cases I got up to date told you that I bust a eight
51
My niggas I can't name, outta state (My niggas fuck with weight)
52
Little brother gone but I got a baby angel
53
You fuckin with a dirty name, don't let these niggas change you
54
The present's what you get
55
And the past is what make the man future
56
I can't tell you I ain't God or lil' Superman
57
No there ain't a 'S' on my chest, but it's a 'D' on my block (D Blok)
58
And said life the deepest lesson is death
59
I'm determined and I'm disciplined and destined to rest
60
I'm a Gangsta and a Gentleman, Panero the best
61
When I pass I'm like gas, motherfuckers
62
'Cause I'm a leave a stain that you'll never forget
63
[Chorus: x 2]
64
I said Gangstas ride (Ride with me)
65
Gentlemen live your life (Live it up)
66
'Cause Gangstas die (We all gon die)
67
It's only a matter of time (The clock tickin)
