Gangster Glam
Gangster Glam [Controversy Music - 1991]
------------- [On the US maxi-single for Gett Off]
Boy, we gettin' ready to get funkier than a sack 'o grandaddies

1,2,1,2,3

roll it ((gett off))

{gangster} ((gett off))
(gangster) ((gett off))
yeah, summertime
{gangster} ((gett off))
(get on up and jam)

well as I G-E-double T-O-F-F
Ganster Glam in the house
and I must confess, see
that this is the shit P serve
and a new power soul for those who would ever try to rock the
NPG, for those who are wondering, a family is born
and God bless us 'cause we're funky
everything we do is on a positive tip
and got a message for a sucker with lip
tell 'em Rosie

(let a woman be a woman and man be a man)

yeah, you tell 'em, baby
and as I put the Mmm in man,
I'm kickin' the Gangster Glam

{gangster}

well as I G-E-double T-O-F-F
Ganster Glam in the house (house) (gangster)
the style we're sportin',
the ladies and the fellas, hmmm
Godfather III meets barbarella (barbarella, barbarella, ...)
hmmm, you can believe, a gangster never thinks twice

What's my BMW definition:
the Black Man's Wish
all the heads of the family
would fall and would drop this
and the fact that we're funky
will keep the jeeps boomin' for the hip-hop junkies

((everybody grab a body, pump it like you want somebody))

(get-get-get-get-get-get on up and jam)

I'm kickin' the Gangster Glam
