Gangsta Life Lyrics


Well you done know
When gangsta touch the street
Food have fi eat
It's a gangsta life
Zagga zowWe squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and beg please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make G's
Bu'n the wannabesWe squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and make please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make G'sStraight from the gangsta town
Kingston, Jamaica, where we hold it down
Fools get killed for the chi-ching sound
Ain't got time to be fuckin' around
'Cause only the strong will survive the streets

Don't fuck around 'cause the dogs must eat
Punks get fucked up on my beat
Beenie puts it down with the blue steel heatGangsta been through lot of wars
Most of my niggas live behind bars
So I'm tellin' you so-called stars
Don't come around in your luxury cars
Fool, I swear you must be flakin'
Come around tellin' cats what you're makin'
Showin' off jewels like they can't be taken
You must be mistaken
Gimme thatWe squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and beg please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make G's
Bu'n the wannabesWe squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and make please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make G'sWell we goin' straight to your cranium
From the sanitarium
Comin' to you heavy like I'm powered by uranium
Unleash my serium
On a whole stadium
And wild chicken head gettin' high from aviliumIt's like, it's like shit's gettin' serious
Cats gettin' personal
Actin' all precarious
Niggas from various
Crews get delirious
Wonderin' if I'm a Gemini or SagittariusDog this is hideous
By the way I'm curious
I moved along so why you gettin' furious?
Could it be the Grammy ting why they are malicin'
Or is it because I link
With Dave Kelly why them panickin'While I'm rockin' it
Beenie man lockin' it
You bitchin' like a bitch
Fool, put a sock in it
Rude boy cockin' it
Hustler stockin' it
Anywhere I'm playin' at
Ladies will be flockin' itWe squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and beg please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make G's
Bu'n the wannabesWe squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and make please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make G'sStraight from the gangsta town
Kingston, Jamaica, where we hold it down
Fools get killed for the chi-ching sound
Ain't got time to be fuckin' around
'Cause only the strong will survive the streets
Don't fuck around 'cause the dogs must eat
Punks get fucked up on my beat
Beenie puts it down with the blue steel heatGangsta been through lot of wars
Most of my niggas live behind bars
So I'm tellin' you so-called stars
Don't come around in your luxury cars
Fool, I swear you must be flakin'
Come around tellin' cats what you're makin'
Showin' off jewels like they can't be taken
You must be mistaken
Gimme thatWe squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and beg please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make G's
Bu'n the wannabesWe squeeze and make cheese
Bu'n my enemy
Cats freeze and make please
Put them on their knee
We seize the opportunities for our families to make G's

Anthony Moses Davis (born August 22, 1973 in Kingston, Jamaica), better known by the stage name Beenie Man, is a well established reggae artist and DJ. He was involved in the music industry from a young age when he won the Tastee Talent contest in 1981. Only one year later, when he was eight years old, he recorded a single, "Too Fancy", with record producer "Junjo" Lawes. By 1983, Beenie Man was recording with heavyweight DJs, such as Dillinger and Fathead and released his debut album, The Invincible Beenie Man: The Ten Year Old DJ Wonder and the single "Over the Sea".

He was booed off stage at a show celebrating the visit of Nelson Mandela. In 1993 at the very popular show Sting he accused fellow deejay Bounty Killer that the elder artist had stolen his catchphrase, "people dead". This triggered a lyrical battle which continued on the air with each artist counteracting the other's songs. Finally, in 1995, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer settled their differences on the air by actually signing a peace treaty and the two recorded an album together, Guns Out. This was followed by a single, "No Mama No Cry", a rehash of the Bob Marley classic "No Woman No Cry", speaking out against violence and inspired by the murder of Pan Head, another popular Deejay.

Partially as a result of prodding from his producers, Sly and Robbie, Beenie Man soon converted to the Rastafari movement.

In 1994, he was signed by Island Records and released the critically acclaimed album Blessed.

In 1995, Beenie Man released a remix of Barrington Levy's "Under Mi Sensi" in the United Kingdom, and collaborated with Dennis Brown and Triston Palma to release Three Against War and Lt. Stitchie on Mad Cobra Meets Lt. Stitchie & Beenie Man. He took another step up the ladder in 1996, releasing the seminal Maestro, produced by Patrick Roberts and shot him to UK fame. During the period from the mid to late '90s, Beenie Man dominated the Jamaican charts to the extent that he perhaps had a good claim to the crown of "Dancehall King", a title only bestowed previously on Yellowman in the early 1980s.

In 1998, Beenie Man signed to Virgin Records to release albums in the United States. His first American offering was The Doctor (1998). In 2000, Beenie Man teamed up with Arturo Sandoval and Wyclef Jean (The Fugees) to release The Art & Life. During the late 1990s, Beenie Man began his conquest of America with the hits, "Romie", "Who Am I" and "Girls Dem Sugar", which featured American R&B singer, Mya.

In 2002, he had a sizeable hit with a duet with Janet Jackson called "Feel It Boy", but his biggest break in America came in early 2004 with the release of a remix of "Dude", featuring guest vocals by fellow Jamaican Ms. Thing, as well as rhymes by Shawnna.
