What's a boy to do if he'll never be a gangsta?

Anger in his heart, but he'll never be a gangsta

If you move into his neighborhood, he'll never make a sound, ooh!

What's a boy to do if he'll never be a rasta?

Singing from his heart, but he'll never be a rockstar

If you move into his neighborhood, he'll never make a sound

Bang-bang, oi! Never move to my hood, cause danger is crawlin' out the wood

Bang-bang, boy-ee

@Poprocksian Masculine just means traits typical of a male. Blame history (and people's stubbornness to change their ideals) for the fact that she fits the "stereotype" of masculine for some. On that note, I don't think she seems masculine at all -- I think she and her voice are both beautiful and raw :)
