[Verse 1]
Bm              Em       A                     Bm
 My mama always told me: If you're in trouble, always run,
Bm              Em          A                  Bm
 My papa always said to me: I never ever gonna carry that gun.
        Bm                  Em                         A 
 But heyhey, I've seen them wear those shoes, and them hats,
           Bm
 With them clothes and them guns,
Bm          Em    A          F#
 I wanna be cool, I wanna be bad ...

[Chorus]
Bm      Em                 A         Bm
 Ooh, I wanna be a gangsta, ooh, an original G,
Bm      Em                 A         Bm                 
 Ooh, I wanna be a gangsta, ooh, an original G, 
         B                       Em     A
 So come on, please give me your money,
    F#                       Bm
 Or else I shoot you with my gun.

[Verse 2]
Bm                 Em      A              Bm
 My country always told me: Get an edu-education,
Bm                Em 
 My older brother said the same, 
     A                     Bm
 But neither of us got the patience.

(So listen up!) -pause-
                Em
 If you want an extraordinary life,
A             Bm 
 It calls for extraordinary needs,
Bm             Em            A                 F#
 Fulfilling by gambling high, my extraordinary dreams ...

[Chorus]
Bm      Em                 A         Bm
 Ooh, I wanna be a gangsta, ooh, an original G,
Bm      Em                 A         Bm                 
 Ooh, I wanna be a gangsta, ooh, an original G, 
         B                       Em     A
 So come on, please give me your money,
    F#                       B
 Or else I shoot you with my gun.
                     Em     A
 Please give me your money, 
    F#                       Bm
 Or else I shoot you with my gun.

[Verse 3]
Bm                 Em      A          Bm
 So I'm collecting bottles, because I am so poor,
Bm                 Em        A                   
 They say I should get a job, 
 F# 
 But then I have to work, so…
 F#
 But then I have to work, so…

[Chorus]
Bm      Em                 A         Bm
 Ooh, I wanna be a gangsta, ooh, an original G,
Bm      Em                 A         Bm                 
 Ooh, I wanna be a gangsta, ooh, an original G, 
         B                       Em     A
 So come on, please give me your money,
    F#                       B
 Or else I shoot you with my gun.
                     Em     D  C#  
 Please give me your money!
