Radric Davis (born February 2, 1980), better known by his stage name Gucci Mane, is an American rapper. He debuted in 2005 with Trap House and followed with albums such as Hard to Kill in 2006, Trap-A-Thon and Back to the Trap House in 2007. In 2009, his second studio album The State vs. Radric Davis was released, and The Appeal: Georgia's Most Wanted was released in 2010, and is his highest charting album so far. Gucci Mane has released many other mixtapes and independent albums as well.
While serving a six-month jail term for assault in late 2005, Davis was charged with murder, though the charges were later dropped due to a lack of evidence. In 2009, he served a year-long county jail sentence for violating probation for his 2005 aggravated assault conviction.
Davis was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and later moved with his single mother to Atlanta. He enjoyed writing poetry as a child, and began rapping at age 14.
In 2005, Davis released his independent debut album entitled Trap House, which featured the successful single "Icy" with Young Jeezy. Disputes over the rights to this single caused a rift between the two artists. Hard to Kill followed in 2006. Hard To Kill included the hit single "Freaky Gurl". The song peaked at number 12 on the Hot Rap Tracks, number 19 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and at number 62 on the Hot 100.
I've been running from a dark horse
I can't lose it
I've been calling to an old cross
Don't excuse it
Well I've paid them back, and I'm alright
Gotta mean kinda woman, she's outta sight
Well I don't mind not sitting in the old booth
At the back, don't break the house rules
I go looking for my ego
Don't explain it
No more laughing I believe girl
Just sustain it
Well I got a home and it's alright
With a mean kinda woman, she's outta sight
Well I don't know 'bout messing up the old school
Don't mind 'bout breading all the house rules
I got things I wanna do girl
Don't abuse it
I don't wanna be a bad boy
You don't fool me
Well you don't need me
Well that's alright
What a guy's gotta live with
Is outta sight
I just wanna eat anything paid for
You're a --- goodness, lips of danger
It's a beast
Hey, hey, I'm breaking my rules
Oh yeah
I don't need no one to tell me
I don't need no one to tell me
What to do girl
No, no no no, said no
Oh, oh, girl, alright
Well, here we go
I got things I wanna do girl
Don't abuse it
I don't wanna be a bad boy
You don't fool me
Well I've been mean
Well that's alright
Got a cat kinda woman
She's outta sight
I just wanna be everything you told me
You don't sit philosophy
Yes it is
Hey hey, Oh, hey, hey, hey, ooh
Hey hey hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey yeah
I don't need no one to tell me
I don't need no one to tell me
