[Verse 1]
My mama always told me:
"If you're in trouble, always run"
My papa always said to me:
"I never ever gonna carry the gun"
But hey hey
I've seen them wear them shoes and them hats
With them clothes and them guns
I wanna be cool, I wanna be bad

[Chorus]
Ooh, I wanna be a gangsta
Ooh, an original G
Ooh, I wanna be a gangsta
Ooh, an original G, so come on
Please give me your money
Or else I shoot you with my gun

[Verse 2]
My country always told me:
"Get an edu-education"
My older brother said the same
But neither of us got the patience
(So listen up!)
If you want an extraordinary life
It calls for extraordinary needs
Fulfilling by gambling high my extraordinary dreams
[Chorus]
Ooh, I wanna be a gangsta
Ooh, an original G
Ooh, I wanna be a gangsta
Ooh, an original G, so come on
Please give me your money
Or else I shoot you with my gun
Please give me your money
Or else I shoot you with my gun

[Verse 3]
So I'm collecting bottles
Because I am so poor
They say I should get a job (Get a job!)
But then I have to work, so...
But then I have to work, so...

[Chorus]
Ooh, I wanna be a gangsta
Ooh, an original G
Ooh, I wanna be a gangsta
Ooh, an original G, so come on
Please give me your money
Or else I shoot you with my gun
Please give me your money!
