N W A's f*ckin' up tha program
And then you realize we don't care
We don't just say no, we to busy sayin' yeah!
To drinkin' straight out the eight bottle
Do I look like a mutha f*ckin role model?
To a kid lookin' up ta me
Life ain't nothin but bi**hes and money.
Cause I'm tha type o' nigga that's built ta last
If ya f*ck wit me I'll put a foot in ya a**
See I don't give a fuck 'cause I keep bailin
Yo, what the f*ck are they yellin

I was a lot more impressed before I learned that only one of the guys in the group had even been close to being a gangster.

THIS is the song responsible for given the subgenre, gangsta rap, its name.

It still sounds pretty striking today but back in 1989 it was like a cup of coffee followed by punch in the face. We used it to stay awake on late night drives.

That was the shit

Gangsta Gangsta! That's what they yellin. Its not about a salary its all about reality." This was my theme song in 1989. Classic. Thanks Carrie.

Memories! Good and bad, we were lovin the gangsta life, but buried sooooo many childhood friends.
