[Chorus: Rich Garcia]

Gangster life in the city

You know it's hard to stay alive

Because we got to do or die, ohh

Gangster life in the city

You know it's hard to stay alive

Because we got to do or die, do or die, do or die

[Verse 1: Danger]

I roll around with big straps, I like to bust caps

Make money, hit the pussy, and bomb ass raps

I be in San Bernardino like a motherfucking nut

All these fools want to kill me and bitches want to fuck

Damn, but I ain't tripping and shit

I got a fucking Calico with a hundred round clip

And at my pad, I got this fine ass bitch

Long hair, big booty, with some big o' tits

I don't be fucking around because I ain't no joke

A crazy motherfucker blowing indo smoke

Because it's me, Danger, I'm chilling like a villain

Smoking chronic, fucking bitches, and I'd like to do a killing

In my crazy ass hood, it's an everyday thang

Eastside Trece is my motherfucking gang hang

Getting paid, fucking all these hoes

Letting everyone know that we some fucking criminals

[Chorus: Rich Garcia]

Gangster life in the city

You know it's hard to stay alive

Because we got to do or die, ohh

Gangster life in the city

You know it's hard to stay alive

Because we got to do or die, do or die, do or die

[Verse 2: Toker]

I remember growing up in my crazy ass hood

Now it's time to put it down to make this shit understood

Simon loco, I think it's time to roll

I got my homies down with it and the rest in control

1-3, S-T, now you see, from the 2-1-3 all the way to S-B

It's a do or die in the streets where I'm from

Eastside, South Central is where the pedos be on

Twenty-four, non-stop, you got to carry your gun

Black and white, hitting corners but to me, that's all fun

Rolling in the truck, got them Glocks

Selling rocks down the block and I'm not giving a fuck

Got to make that green anyway you can

And I'm that brown motherfucker with the master plan

So you better not slip cause I'm looking for a jack

So if you putos see me coming, loco go for your gat

[Chorus: Rich Garcia]

Gangster life in the city

You know it's hard to stay alive

Because we got to do or die, ohh

Gangster life in the city

You know it's hard to stay alive

Because we got to do or die, do or die, do or die

[Verse 3: Danger]

1-3, here comes even more

My motherfucking homies breaking down the door

Talking about, who we gonna kill and grab your gun

We gonna kill some fucking mejos just to have some fun

My homies catch you from the front

I creep and crawl from the back

Punk you for your sack, and peel your fucking cap back

Insane in my brain cause I'm straight, do or die

Dope money, fucking bitches and I keep on getting high

[Verse 4: Toker]

Straight gangster flow, now you know, here I go

Creeping, hitting switches, bumping, riding low

Danger sitting shotgun, Crook's rolling up one

Got the rag-top down in this hot ass sun

Rolling, by the park we go

Hitting corners through the hood, puffing on some indo

It's an everyday thing in the city where I'm from

Trying to do right but always end up doing wrong

[Chorus till fade: Rich Garcia]

Gangster life in the city

You know it's hard to stay alive

Because we got to do or die, ohh

Gangster life in the city

You know it's hard to stay alive

Because we got to do or die, do or die, do or die

Gangster life in the city

You know it's hard to stay alive

Because we got to do or die, ohh

Gangster life in the city

You know it's hard to stay alive

Because we got to do or die, do or die, do or die

Gangster life in the city

You know it's hard to stay alive

Because we got to do or die, ohh

Gangster life in the city

You know it's hard to stay alive...
