Love Is Gangster

Love is patient, love is kind. 
It does not envy, 
it does not boast, 
it is not proud. 
It does not dishonor others, 
it is not self-seeking, 
it is not easily angered, 
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love is gangster 
it don’t matter where you is 
or where you ain’t from 
everybody got a mama that they came from 
if you ever showed me love 
I wanna thank ya 
I wanna thank ya
cause love is gangster 
it don’t matter where you is or where you ain’t from 
everybody got a mama that they came from 
if you ever showed me love I want to thank ya
Started with nothing though nothing though
When it got cold had to shovel snow
Rollin with my soldiers like buffaloes
Now we got bucket loads
No deal I was slamming Lamborghini doors
Uh/ shout out to my brother Omar that’s for sure 
once it’s on I never let up 
Got to get it when you get up 
representing from the booth 
Johnny Toof keep your head up 
dedicated to my Capos 
dedicated to my soldiers 
Dedicated to the ones who never snitched 

and never told if 
you ever held me down 
I want to thank yuuuuhhhhh 
You could never understand how much it meant 
showing love and never hating that's Gangstaaa 
That’s the code I forever represent 
came from the bottom the bottom 
to the top of the toppa 
word to Nathan word ain't no faking 
I been hot with the product 
believing nothing could stop us 
now all our options got options 
but the blood sweat and tears 
I ain’t never forgot em 
Why?
Cuz Love is gangster 
it don’t matter where you is 
or where you ain’t from 
everybody got a mama that they came from 
if you ever showed me love 
I wanna thank ya 
I wanna thank ya
cause love is gangster 
it don’t matter where you is or where you ain’t from 
everybody got a mama that they came from 
if you ever showed me love I want to thank ya
Sometimes it’s impossible 
to understand the process 
manifesting something greater than you are 
but keep your conscience 
elevated and collected 
had the beast inside and fed it 
all that it amounted to 
was all the things that I regretted 
I admit it wasn’t easy 
risking everything for dreaming 
what’s the purpose life is worthless 
if there’s nothing to believe in
I was taking shots with demons 
breaking hearts and then repeating 
I was seeking everything that’s opposite of what I needed 
it was love for myself that was missing 
I thought it was an oxymoron or a contradiction 
but the more I paid attention 

And the more that I was present 
I could see where all my pain 
and all my actions intersected 
so then I sat down and tried to heal my broken heart 
and like a dead car battery it wouldn’t start 
But thinking of my people is what made me want to try 
love is the reason why a brother didn’t die
why
Cuz Love is gangster 
it don’t matter where you is 
or where you ain’t from 
everybody got a mama that they came from 
if you ever showed me love 
I wanna thank ya 
I wanna thank ya
cause love is gangster 
it don’t matter where you is or where you ain’t from 
everybody got a mama that they came from 
if you ever showed me love I want to thank ya
