Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time there was a big diesel kid
Who just got sprung form a ten year bid
Ten years is a long time, he left as a pup
But came out as an adult, about to act up
[Verse 2]
Out on the block, he played the average street games
Gamblin', scramblin' just to build up a name
Pumped a few pockets he got on the spot
Not until he bought the Benz did his name get hot
[Verse 3]
Out on the street, slingin' big rocks on concrete
Those who tried to play him, they cold got beat
I mean cold, you dissed him and you just got smoked
Then he'd take your spot and leave your family broke
[Verse 4]
Even five-o was petro, he wouldn't even act up
To give him a ticket, they had to call in for backup
That's how extra and large the boy got
Just gettin' started in the game of a big shot
[Verse 5]
Gangster boogie, gangster boogie
Gangster boogie, gangster boogie
[Verse 6]
It only took two years for all of this to occur
He met a light skinned squally and flipped over her
She was dope alright, but the girl was so young
Her eyes was so lovely that money was strung
[Verse 7]
This kid was twenty three and the girl sixteen
See, another street king had now found his queen
And he was runnin' things, puttin' others in fear
Makin' twenty G's a week and that's a million a year
[Verse 8]
Steppin' out to the club with his girl in a mink
Wearin' custom made jewels and big fat links
Go upstairs where his place would be set
With the choice of Dom Pérignon or Moet
[Verse 9]
Four soldiers undercover loungin' with his brother
Everybody strapped with a vest and a rubber
Just in case somebody's girl got hot
But she was bagged and ragged in the club by a big shot
[Verse 10]
Gangster boogie, gangster boogie
Gangster boogie
Extra large
[Verse 11]
Gangster boogie, gangster boogie
Gangster boogie, gangster boogie
[Verse 12]
Spots from the east to the west side he ran
If money was power then this kid was He-Man
Never again would homeboy go thirsty
'Cause he bought a mansion in Patterson New Jersey
[Verse 13]
The house that was owned by Lou Castello
At the age of twenty five, life was so mellow
A father of four, each had different mothers
That's to my knowledge, might've had others
[Verse 14]
Nothin' could go wrong, the world was his
Until one day somebody gave him a quiz
To see if he was thorough or just a front
A kid pulled out and got smoked like a blunt
[Verse 15]
The brother knew how to react on impact
Bust him in the shoulders, opened up his back
Three more to go, what was four deep
Who was sent on a mission to put him to sleep
[Verse 16]
He dipped in a Benz, bein' pursued by a van
Picked up the cellular phone to call his man
They strapped up and loaded up in the trucks
With A.K.'s, nines and uzis, ready to buck
[Verse 17]
Now homeboy was doin' like a hundred, quick
Down the block, cold jettin' and not sweatin' conflict
Bullets were flyin' from the van behind him
His boys were rollin' but they couldn't find him
[Verse 18]
The city was large and they had to think fast
He had on a vest but what if he crashed?
The brother made a right and what happen's then?
A big yellow sign that read dead end
[Verse 19]
Now he could give his soul to the essence to keep
All of a sudden there were shots from a black jeep
It was his young girl who met him at the spot
'Cause she was always taught first hand from a big shot
[Verse 20]
Gangster boogie, gangster boogie
Gangster boogie, gangster boogie
[Verse 21]
Nineteen year old female was so bold
Her and the homegirls always had ammo
The brothers in the van just kept on firin'
Deep in the background, the sounds of sirens
[Verse 22]
The kid in a Benz got out and got shot
Caught two in the leg and the leg was real hot
He fell to the ground with no strength to run
The clip was empty in his automatic gun
[Verse 23]
The girl in the jeep had blocked off the street
Tryin' to save a big shot from defeat
Crazy gunfire last for a while
But then came the trucks with the Bigfoot style
[Verse 24]
A.K.'s and uzis weighed more than tons
Killed the three brothers that tried to run
The ones who lived were arrested by the cops
But the charges were dropped, the judges were paid by big shots
[Verse 25]
Gangster boogie, gangster boogie
Gangster boogie, gangster boogie
[Verse 26]
Gangster boogie, gangster boogie
Gangster boogie, gangster boogie
[Verse 27]
Listen, it's not hard to take charge
Life of a big shot is extra large
Strictly do or die, makin' moves corrects
'Cause a big shot will always get just due respect
[Verse 28]
From east to west coast, mainly minorities
Make enough money to buy the authorities
Dollars are chill when the women are real hot
So no matter what, you'll always remember a big shot
[Verse 29]
This goes out to Renaldo Guns, we love you, Blacky
