From the recording With The Stars In Your Eyes
Inspired by people I have known, and historical figures. I've gotta admit: when you're sitting in a gangsta car cruising down the road, it's a mighty fine experience.
Version 2 notes:
I am finally happy with this song :)
The arrangement has changed, with more emphasis on the string section.
The guitars, bass and synthesizers were rerecorded, the string section has been remixed and cleaned up.

Gangsta Car

She does the low crawl
She’s got the white walls
Well, she’s a, she’s a
She’s an outlaw
...never been outrun
She’s got the dark tint
She’s got the wide slicks
Does zero to a ton in a second split
...time to get some fun
You know who you are, in your gangsta car
I took a road trip
Down to the money strip
Scoping around
For a place to hit
...and gold for everyone
I called the boys:
“You wanna fill up your sack?
Well just hop on the ride
And take a seat in the back”
...and bring your tommy gun
You know who you are, in your gangsta car
You know what it is, doin’ gangsta biz
