Real Gangsta Lyrics


Keep it gangsta, keep it gangsta
Keep it gangsta, all di gangsta from Jamaica
Keep it gangsta and American gangsta
Keep it gangsta
Yo, me just gangsta move with the gangsta groove
Gangsta win, gangsta don't lose
Real gangsta got nuthin' to prove
Gangsta wise, gangsta nuh confuse
Gangsta youth, with some gangsta truth
A gangsta suit, in my gangsta boot
I got my gangsta girl, she is gangsta cute
In di gangsta way, man pick her fruit
Real gangstas don't play
J1 sing and Beenie Man DJ
Real gangstas don't play
So ya betta watch what you say
Real gangstas don't play
J1 sing and Beenie Man DJ

Real gangstas don't play
So ya betta watch what you say
I got my gangsta flex in my gangsta ride
With my gangsta ways and my gangsta pride
No gangsta war, no gangsta strive
Just gangsta youths living gangsta lives
I catch a gangsta smile from a gangsta child
So I rest my gangsta life a while
And pick up my pen, lyrics lef ina point
And it turn out me haffi, write a gangsta style now
Real gangstas don't play
J1 sing and Beenie Man DJ
Real gangstas don't play
So ya betta watch what you say
Real gangstas don't play
J1 sing and Beenie Man DJ
Real gangstas don't play
So ya betta watch what you say
Keep it gangsta and keep it real
Yuh disobey, you should surely feel
Gangsta youths make gangsta deal
With a gangsta approach and a big man appeal
Gangsta laws and gansta calls
In the gangsta world, I am the gangsta lord
Respect unto all my dogs
When gangsta a talk boy fi nuh mad boss
Real gangstas don't play
J1 sing and Beenie Man DJ
Real gangstas don't play
So ya betta watch what you say

So ya betta watch what you say
In the wood I was born and raised
I been a gangsta for all my days
Gangsta life is what I praise
'Cause I will school you in the gangsta way
I am a gangsta, just how we flex
And how we wear we clothes and how we dress
Man a gangsta
How we born and we bread and so we grow

Real gangstas don't play
So ya betta watch what you say
Real gangstas don't play
J1 sing and Beenie Man DJ
Real gangstas don't play
So ya betta watch what you say

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.
