## Lyrics

[Intro: Snoop Dogg]

Yeah

So motherfucking hood

It's your uncle Snoop D O Double G

Oh weee

You know how we do it on the west coast

West west yo, diggy diggy diggy diggit yo

[Chorus: Poo Bear]

It's got a hold on me

The streets won't let me go

I'm in love

It takes it's toll on me

When I try to leave it alone

I can't say no to the gangsta's life

Gotta live a gangstas life

Gangstas life

It's got a hold on me

The streets won't let me go

I'm in love

It takes it's toll on me

When I try to leave it alone

I can't say no to the gangsta's life

Gotta live a gangstas life

Gangstas life

[Verse 1: Nipsey Hussle]

Look, what's up motherfuckers it's ya boy Nipsey Hussle

The neighbor banger that'll make the dope double

Block duck a cop cause yeah I'm all that

I made it out of haters try to see me fall back

I was once told that everything glittering is not gold

And money over bitches is the motto

Still some of these suckers think I owe him a dollar or a dime

I'm a product of my grind, fuck is on your mind

When you talk I don't listen cause a lot of ni‏ggas lie

Rule 1 gotta get gotta flip gotta find your position while you in a south central state of mind

Another Nip Hussle you will never find

Take a look into my eyes see I forever shine

They should'nt showed me that, true ni‏ggas shouldn't have told me that

The streets they know they homies they always try to hold me back

[Chorus: Poo Bear]

It's got a hold on me

The streets won't let me go

I'm in love

It takes it's toll on me

When I try to leave it alone

I can't say no to the gangsta's life

Gotta live a gangstas life

Gangstas life

It's got a hold on me

The streets won't let me go

I'm in love

It takes it's toll on me

When I try to leave it alone

I can't say no to the gangsta's life

Gotta live a gangstas life

Gangstas life

[Verse 2: Snoop Dogg]

Give me a pen and a pad plus some Gin and a half

Put the clip in the mag, put the zip in the bag

Eastside rollin in an 6 deuce rag

Don't be slippin, cripping, we will get you fast

Streets be calling, see sawing

Never stalling, you hauling

Play calling, freefalling

Say it with me nephew, we balling

Get a zone, hit it, hit it get it on

Yes indeed the capital S-N Double O-P

Bin doing doing this gangsta shit since 83

Back in the LBC

Check my fouls ni‏gga check my pedigree

Next to homie big D, ni‏gga letter C

Another Snoop Dogg there will never be

Take my eyes have a look and you will never see

You should'nt have showed me that

You ni‏gga's shouldn't have told me that

The streets they know they homies they always try to hold me back

[Verse 3: Nipsey Hussle]

Look, Look

I got 20 thousand dollars in my blue dickie pockets

Up at Fox Hill shoppin' rolex same tocking or ticking

They slipping we different bitches

6 0’s on my checks and the Crenshaw district

On lock, won't stop, big chain, big watch

Big rims, 3 piece leather seats, no top

Come through the block drive slow

Don't stop, ni‏ggas whisper don't talk

Cause they know they get by

From the bottom to the top

I done told ya ni‏gga

Self made getting paid like I'm supposed to ni‏gga

Now the hating is contagious and the only prescription is to load up a clip and give the ni‏gga the business

It happens everyday just for instance

No weapons and no witness that means no conviction

While I'm mixing my patrone in my kitchen

Reminiscing before I make my transition

HUSSLE

[Chorus: Poo Bear]

It's got a hold on me

The streets won't let me go

I'm in love

It takes it's toll on me

When I try to leave it alone

I can't say no to the gangsta's life

Gotta live a gangstas life

Gangstas life

It's got a hold on me

The streets won't let me go

I'm in love

It takes it's toll on me

When I try to leave it alone

I can't say no to the gangsta's life

Gotta live a gangstas life

Gangstas life
