Inside Of A Gangsta Lyrics - Ice T

Yeah 

This is Ice-T 

I'ma slow it down for a minute 

I want to talk to all the ladies out there 

I got my man J-e-l-l in the house 

I got a message I want to send out to all the fly ladies, yeah 

Check me out 

[Ice-T:] 

It's time for me to kick game 

And if I can't do it, then ladies, Ice ain't my name 

Now real brothers ain't easy to understand 

And it's a long hard road to become a man 

Drama seeks and chases him through every year 

His homie dies, you might see him shed a tear 

But mostly hardcore feelings are all you see 

'Cause you gotta be raw to be called a gee 

But every man slows down 

You'll see this side when there's probably no one around 

And there's no safer place 

Than if you ever are some gee's homebase 

But it ain't easy, these brothers got barricades around the hearts 

It's gonna take time before the trust starts 

But girl, you must be true 

'Cause if your man's a gee, he'll definitely die for you 

Look him deep in his eyes, let him know you're there 

Show him that you really care 

Trust me, you move with time 

Through the darkened halls of his mind 

You just might find 

[Bobby Ross Avila:] 

The me inside of a gangsta 

Yo, Jell 

You know what I'm sayin? 

I try to represent for all the brothers out there 

And I know my latin homies have the same drama with they girls, man 

Won't you let 'em know how it's goin down 

[Jell:] 

Man, I'm lookin' for a hina that's down 

But you don't have to be brown 

If you want to hang around 

All you gotta do is stay in check 

'Cause if you're rubbin' me right 

Then you can bet you'll get respect 

And that's why I guess my feelings will have to show 

How can you hide somethin' that's in your soul? 

'Cause there's more to the l-o-see 

Than all the violence, baby, that ain't who I be 

I know my dogs and me can still pull straps 

But I rather have you rollin' in my Cadillac 

'Cause when we cruisin', thangs is all good 

And that goes for every vato in the hood 

Now sometimes it's hard to show the other side 

Especially when my crew is caught up in a homicide 

'Cause East L.A. don't play 

And if I had my way 

I'd kick it with you everyday 

[Ice-T:] 

Whether black or brown, the situation's the same 

Different hoods, but the same game 

Some girls won't take their time 

Others will stroll through our souls and find 

[Bobby Ross Avila:]
