Wyclef Jean, Big Jack, Sharissa , Butch Cassidy - You Say Keep it Gangsta lyrics

But when the beef come
You're the first to run
(you say keep it gangsta)
Yo, that ain't your gun, it belongs to
(you say keep it gangsta)
You roll with a hundred
But when the beef come don't nobody want it
(Gangster, la la la la, la la la la)

I want to dedicate this chant to my people
Locked down livin life in the yard
(keep it gangsta)
Keep a shank boofed up in their tape just
In case a thug wanna play hard
(keep it gangsta)
All this ice-grillin talk bout you
King of New York, now you wanna call a guard
(that ain't gangsta)
But, it's too late when the guard show up
Cause your body's going straight
To the morgue (you say keep it gangsta)
But when the beef come
You're the first to run
(you say keep it gangsta)
Yo, that ain't your gun, it belongs to
(you say keep it gangsta)
You roll with a hundred
But when the beef come don't nobody want it
(gaNGSTER)

I wanna dedicate this jam to the ladies
Holding spots when they fellows locked down
(keep it gangsta)
Keep a Glock in they pocket blowin shots
Till they pray I'm in town (keep it gangsta)
And to the snitch that ratted on rich
- the streets got you 16 rounds
(that ain't gangsta)
But theres only one place for a gully rat
Six feet under the ground
(you say keep it gangsta)
I'm gonna keep it gangsta
(you say keep it gangsta)
La la la la, la la la la
(you say keep it gangsta)

You roll with a hundred
But when the beef come don't nobody want it
(gaNGSTER)
Ah, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Yo, stop with the posin
Y'all ain't really holdin
I'm about to open, a chapter of the Omen
Casket, closin, bodies, frozen
I've, been chosen, y'all forsaken
Ante up, so the chains get taken
Flash backs of the rock season in the making
Ain't no more MC'n, ice is just gleamin
And you wonder why you got robbed
Cause your life had no meaning
Fake gangstas (you say keep it gangsta)

But when the beef come
You're the first to run
(you say keep it gangsta)
Yo, that ain't your gun, it belongs to
(you say keep it gangsta)
You roll with a hundred
But when the beef come don't nobody want it
(gaNGSTER) nobody, nobody, nobody
(you say keep it gangsta)

Now what would you do if
Henchman's came for you? (GANGSTA)
9 out of 10 times you would flee your crew
(GANGSTA) so before you lie and say
You running these streets
(you say keep it gangsta)
You better watch out cause they have heat
(GANGSTA) now what would you do if
Big Jack came for you? (GANGSTA)
9 out of 10 times you would leave your crew
(GANGSTA) so before you lie and say
You running these streets (GANGSTA)
You better watch out cause they have heat
Gangsta i'm gonna keep it gangsta
You say keep it gangsta
La la la la, la la la la
You say keep it gangsta gangsta
You say keep it gangsta
