Respect My Gangster

[Intro: The Alchemist | Prodigy]

Gangster...gangster...respect my gangster

Yeah, respect my gangster

Yeah yeah yeah, respect my gangster

(We duffin', we bustin', you know that it's on)

Gangster (Either or, we gon' lock horns)

Respect my gangster

(We bustin', we duffin', you know that it's on)

[Verse 1: The Alchemist]

Yeah, respect my gangster, 'cause I ain't nothin' to play with

Yo, I walks that righteous path so I'm protected from danger

And I ain't runnin', I stay with

My clique when the shit gets thick (Why?) 'cause I'm a team player

And I ain't frontin', I'm laying it up

Down to the tape so quick you think I was the Speed Racer

As a percussion, I'm lacing 'em with the...

Yeah, yo, you can expect that flavor

Layers, the different ways to do the regular (That's right)

'Cause that's how I gets my paper

And I ain't stuntin', I'm making it

Look so simple but it's so complex, it gets deeper

Y'all gotta follow the footsteps

Watch, learn, and study the manuscripts

Drop, earn, and work with the fans you get

[Chorus: The Alchemist | Prodigy]

Respect my gangster...gangster

Respect my gangster...gangster

Yeah yeah yeah, respect my gangster

(We duffin', we bustin', you know that it's on)

Gangster (Either or, we gon' lock horns)

Respect my gangster

(We bustin', we duffin', you know that it's on)

[Verse 2: Prodigy]

Yeah, yo, yo, nigga, hold mines

Is you stupid? We're a goldmine

You front on us, you get shot three or four times

On different occasions, I keep giving it to you

And save the death shot for last, it's beautiful

How I handle it, I'm not a menace

They ain't got a word for how I bring it

A little psychotic but that's an understatement

A little narcotics'll put me in a place where

I can get my mind off all of y'all fake shit

Just look at how we raised you, and still raising you

Y'all niggas are duh-dun-duh-dunts, you hear me on the news

It ain't 'cause loose shot (Nah), ain't 'cause I'm stabbed

Word, they screamin' my name? I musta got bagged

And I ain't tryin' to say I can't get it

'Cause I'm a nigga in the midst of this shit where everybody could get wrapped

Niggas wanna see if my shit is easy to grab

Reaching on me is like reaching for God, so say your prayers

[Chorus: The Alchemist | Prodigy]

Respect my gangster...gangster

Respect my gangster...gangster

Yeah yeah yeah, respect my gangster

(We duffin', we bustin', you know that it's on)

Gangster (Either or, we gon' lock horns)

Respect my gangster

(We bustin', we duffin', you know that it's on)
