Do or Die Lyrics by Brownside

Eastside Drama

1997

[Chorus: Rich Garcia]
Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we got to do or die, ohh
Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we got to do or die, do or die, do or die

[Verse 1: Danger]
I roll around with big straps, I like to bust caps
Make money, hit the pussy, and bomb ass raps
I be in San Bernardino like a motherfucking nut
All these fools want to kill me and bitches want to fuck
Damn, but I ain't tripping and shit
I got a fucking Calico with a hundred round clip
And at my pad, I got this fine ass bitch
Long hair, big booty, with some big o' tits
I don't be fucking around because I ain't no joke
A crazy motherfucker blowing indo smoke
Because it's me, Danger, I'm chilling like a villain
Smoking chronic, fucking bitches, and I'd like to do a killing
In my crazy ass hood, it's an everyday thang
Eastside Trece is my motherfucking gang hang
Getting paid, fucking all these hoes
Letting everyone know that we some fucking criminals

[Chorus: Rich Garcia]
Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we got to do or die, ohh
Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we got to do or die, do or die, do or die

[Verse 2: Toker]
I remember growing up in my crazy ass hood
Now it's time to put it down to make this shit understood
Simon loco, I think it's time to roll
I got my homies down with it and the rest in control
1-3, S-T, now you see, from the 2-1-3 all the way to S-B
It's a do or die in the streets where I'm from
Eastside, South Central is where the pedos be on
Twenty-four, non-stop, you got to carry your gun
Black and white, hitting corners but to me, that's all fun
Rolling in the truck, got them Glocks
Selling rocks down the block and I'm not giving a fuck
Got to make that green anyway you can
And I'm that brown motherfucker with the master plan
So you better not slip cause I'm looking for a jack
So if you putos see me coming, loco go for your gat

[Chorus: Rich Garcia]
Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we got to do or die, ohh
Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we got to do or die, do or die, do or die

[Verse 3: Danger]
1-3, here comes even more
My motherfucking homies breaking down the door
Talking about, who we gonna kill and grab your gun
We gonna kill some fucking mejos just to have some fun
My homies catch you from the front
I creep and crawl from the back
Punk you for your sack, and peel your fucking cap back
Insane in my brain cause I'm straight, do or die
Dope money, fucking bitches and I keep on getting high

[Verse 4: Toker]
Straight gangster flow, now you know, here I go
Creeping, hitting switches, bumping, riding low
Danger sitting shotgun, Crook's rolling up one
Got the rag-top down in this hot ass sun
Rolling, by the park we go
Hitting corners through the hood, puffing on some indo
It's an everyday thing in the city where I'm from
Trying to do right but always end up doing wrong

[Chorus till fade: Rich Garcia]
Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we got to do or die, ohh
Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we got to do or die, do or die, do or die

Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we got to do or die, ohh
Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we got to do or die, do or die, do or die

Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive
Because we got to do or die, ohh
Gangster life in the city
You know it's hard to stay alive...
