Lyrics

(Uh! Don't fuck with me!
Fuck with me!
Don't fuck with me!
Don't fuck with me!
Don't fuck with me!
Don't fuck with me!
Don't fuck with me!
Don't fuck with me!)

Fuck you attitude, you know what I wanna do
Light it up red, white, and blue
Do I look high to you?

That's because I am, that's because I am
Do you know what I had to do to get here, man?
No, no, you don't, you don't
'Cause you're not a gangsta, ah (don't fuck with me)
No, no, you don't, don't (I'm Scarface)
'Cause you're not a gangsta like I am

Scarface sacrifice, sold my soul to make it nice
It was worth it, pay the price
Life is death when blow is life
But me and my crew, we know what we like
We know how to roll
Will we ever stop?
No!

Don't fuck with me!
Don't fuck with me!
(You're not a gangsta)
Don't fuck with me!
(You're not a gangsta)
Don't fuck with me!
(You're not a gangsta)
Don't fuck with me!
(You're not a gangsta)
Don't fuck with me!
(You're not a gangsta)
Don't fuck with me!
(Like I am)

Ooh-ooh, do-ooh
Ooh-ooh, do-ooh

(Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes)

You're not a gangsta (fuck you)
You're not a gangsta
You're not a gangsta
(Oh, fuck)
