CunninLynguists, Tim Means - America Loves Gangsters lyrics
[CunninLynguists, Tim Means - America Loves Gangsters lyrics]
These days they want to be criminals more
Than they want to commit crime
That’s- that’s not just crime
That’s the way of the world
There's something about a vandal's lust
The lifestyles of the scandalous
Ain't nothing like it
America loves gangsters (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
Look at all the angel dust
The cocaine and the cannabis
Ain't nothing like it
America loves gangsters (He, he, he, he)
Hate stones, but the man you trust
Cause it's fun to watch cannons bust
Ain't nothing like it
America loves gangsters (We, we, we, we)
Gone off that gangsta, gangsta
Gone off that gangsta, gangsta (For so long)
Gone off that gangsta, gangsta
Gone off that gangsta, gangsta (And so on)
America loves Gottis, America loves bodies
Pacino counting C-Notes for shooting
Up club lobbies while Eddie Nash controls
Bankrolls in Wonderland
Tony Soprano hit's channels and
Holds down On-Demand
We wanna see it and some
Motherfuckers gon' wanna be it
Others are doing numbers that
Breed it, bleed it, can't defeat it
Bush, the political gangster
Man you gotta be high
Gave plenty of orders for slaughters
Ain't swatted a fly
Modern day cowboys with shiny
Alloys for side arms
Hiding behind bombs, advanced cowards
In Jesse James ways we handled the Towers
Guns blazing for freeze framing the
King of New York
In the moments we face opponents
Give thanks to "gangsta"
Maybe place Babyface Nelson in
Ranks to bank ya
Got enough angst to handle the
Handle and squeeze the trigger
But pop that in the city it's "Freeze Nigga!"
There's something about a vandal's lust
The lifestyles of the scandalous
Ain't nothing like it
America loves gangsters (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
Look at all the angel dust
The cocaine and the cannabis
Ain't nothing like it
America loves gangsters (He, he, he, he)
Hate stones, but the man you trust
Cause it's fun to watch cannons bust
Ain't nothing like it
America loves gangsters (We, we, we, we)
Gone off that gangsta, gangsta
Gone off that gangsta, gangsta (For so long)
Gone off that gangsta, gangsta
Gone off that gangsta, gangsta (And so on)
A-scare-ica lusts danger, danger, danger
War, load the tanks up
In the name of the Lord give thanks for anger
More major paper in "Gangsta" Gangster
Heats nerves and veins hearing
Words from pranksters
Anger anchors us, cinematic screens spew
Wrangler language, systematic schemes too
Change the brain up, divide and conquer
Mob on em, ride till their lives are contra'd
Monsters driven by capital as a stimuli
Can never be too powerful
It makes us all admire you
We'll follow until we fall like
Fallen star from sky, i
Can't say it's impact hasn't
Hollowed walls inside my
Heart, my art, ummmm insane
Is it that smart to react
Dark when facing pain? You ain't that hard
That scarred or that real
To go that far, for that kill, for that feel
Now that's ill
It's 6pm again and I'm tuning into CNN
Watching marines mow down
Crowds with machine guns 16 weeks training
Atilla the Huns philosophies
And now they're thinking we won't
Bring peace to these
Streets with the same techniques
That shit's hypocrisy
This ain't Democracy it's a
Survival of the Fittest
A country built behind closed doors
With gods as their witness picture this
People can become so blind that
Their ears can't listen
Trying to save their souls
With penitentiareligion superstition
Never done unto others but
Claiming that they're Christian
While God's children are sittin
Home praying and wishing
For answers to their questions
Herd of the Armageddon wondering what
Side that we're destined
Life be a war ain't no time for restin
That's why you give up your seven to five
Just to stay alive
Trying to fuel the fire inside before
The God in me has died eyes, wide
Trying to look out through this labyrinth
Hoping to leave this earth with the
Same presence that we came with
Trying to steer my path in
Opposite on opposite directions
That man came went
My soul came, spent, I tried to get it back
Thinking that if my heart stopped
That my body could relax
But there's no time to be laxed
Because there's a war all through creation
God's Warriors are dying and
Gangsters are their replacements
Than they want to commit crime
That’s- that’s not just crime
That’s the way of the world
There's something about a vandal's lust
The lifestyles of the scandalous
Ain't nothing like it
America loves gangsters (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
Look at all the angel dust
The cocaine and the cannabis
Ain't nothing like it
America loves gangsters (He, he, he, he)
Hate stones, but the man you trust
Cause it's fun to watch cannons bust
Ain't nothing like it
America loves gangsters (We, we, we, we)
Gone off that gangsta, gangsta
Gone off that gangsta, gangsta (For so long)
Gone off that gangsta, gangsta
Gone off that gangsta, gangsta (And so on)
America loves Gottis, America loves bodies
