[Intro]
From A to Z
G is for girl like gangsta
G is for girl like gangsta
(Where I fit in is G)

[Verse 1]
"A" is what them boys say when they callin' me
Buzzing all around me like a "B"ee
They must be trippin' when they follow me
Boy, I don't answer nothin but "C"
Talkin' like you're ridin' on "D"'s
But I can't call you daddy if you're tank is on "E"
Little fella "F" in wit me
Show me some respect
'Cause baby boy, I'm a "G"

[Chorus]
"G" stands for girl like gangsta
Don't make 'em like me anymore, so we in danger
So at ease little guy, we outrank ya
And when da g's come around, just put ya hands up
"G" stands for girl like gangsta
Listen when I speak, don't talk 'til I say so
Real G's work hard for the cake so
"G" stands for girl like gangsta

[Verse 2]
"H" is for hold up
"I" don't want you tryna run up on me like a "J"
Can't believe he showed up
Try to out "G" but that's o"K"ay
L is for listen when I speak
M is for the "m"ajor when ya'll use it in the streets
N is for "n"uthin boy I do this in my sleep
O is for "o"riginal 'cause I'm OG

[Chorus]
"G" stands for girl like gangsta
Don't make 'em like me anymore, so we in danger
So at ease little guy, we outrank ya
And when da g's come around, just put ya hands up
"G" stands for girl like gangsta
Listen when I speak, don't talk 'til I say so
Real G's work hard for the cake so
"G" stands for girl like gangsta

[Verse 3]
P is for "p"laya, say pretty please
Bow down when you standin' in front of a "Q"ueen
R is for "r"un, im the one, you "s"econd to me
Just 'cause I been hot since the "t"urn of the century
Yo"u" can ask around, I be gettin' that paper
On a "v"aca I be gone for a week
Put you on the ground, "x"in out all my haters
Wh"y" waste time, layin' 'round, catchin' "z"'s
Watch me break it down

[Chorus]
"G" stands for girl like gangsta
Don't make 'em like me anymore, so we in danger
So at ease little guy, we outrank ya
And when da g's come around, just put ya hands up
"G" stands for girl like gangsta
Listen when I speak, don't talk 'til I say so
Real G's work hard for the cake so
"G" stands for girl like gangsta
"G" stands for girl like gangsta
Don't make 'em like me anymore, so we in danger
So at ease little guy, we outrank ya
And when da g's come around, just put ya hands up
"G" stands for girl like gangsta
Listen when I speak, don't talk 'til I say so
Real G's work hard for the cake so
"G" stands for girl like gangsta

[Outro]
"G" stands for girl like gangsta
