In high school I remember acting hard
The only things that left me with was a broken heart
I told the girl that I was dating, "It's a thug thing"
So you know I had intentions of giving her a ring
Fast forward four months, catch me wanting to die
Cause a real thug should never have to cry
And that was the day that I realized
That I am not a thug and I should never try
Sometimes I'm falling
But I'm free to be me
I hear you calling
But I'm where I need to be
I would never ever go and turn my back on you, oh no
And I would never ever go and put my slack on you, oh
And I would never ever go and turn my back on you, oh no
And I would never ever go and put my slack on you
(Cause I am not a gangsta)
I would never ever go and turn my back on you, oh no
(I'm not a gangsta)
And I would never ever go and put my slack on you, oh
(Cause I am not a gangsta)
Sometimes I'm falling
But I'm free to be me
I hear you calling
But I'm where I need to be
(Cause I am not a gangsta)
Sometimes I'm falling
But I'm free to be me
I hear you calling
But I'm where I need to be
