Wanksta Lyrics

[Intro]
Woo, yeah
It's 50 AKA Ferrari F-50
Break it down
I got a lot of livin' to do 'fore I die
And I ain't got time to waste
Let's make it


[Refrain]
You say you a gangsta, but you never pop nothin'
We say you a wanksta and you need to stop frontin'

[Verse 1]
You ain't a friend of mine (Yeah!), you ain't no kin of mine (C'mon!)
What makes you think that I won't run up on you with a .9? (Uh-huh)
We do this all the time (What?), right now we on the grind (Yeah)
So hurry up and cop and go, we sellin' nicks and dimes (Uh-huh)

Shorty, she so fine, I gotta make her mine
An ass like that gotta be one of a kind (Woo)
I crush 'em every time, punch 'em with every line
I'm fuckin' with they mind, I make 'em press rewind
They know they can't shine if I'm around to rhyme
Been on parole since '94 'cause I commit the crime
I send you my line, I did a three-to-nine
The Ds ran up in my crib, you know who droppin' dimes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Wanksta” is 50 Cent’s first single after being discovered by Eminem; it started out as a mixtape track on No Mercy, No Fear, then added to the 8 Mile soundtrack, and finally ended up as a bonus cut to Get Rich or Die Tryin'. Suffice to say it’s one of his more popular songs.

Although, it’s believed that the track is aimed at Ja Rule specifically, Fif said that it’s a diss toward any fake gangster. He then added that Ja fits the bill.
