For My Homies, Gangsta Lean is a song by American R&B group DRS, from their 1993 debut album Gangsta Lean. It spent six weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and peaked at No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Its highest peak was on the New Zealand Singles Chart, where it spent three weeks at No. 1. The song heavily references the phrase gangsta lean, coined by American singer William DeVaughn and first heard on his 1974 song Be Thankful for What You Got. Primarily, based on the terminology, it opens up with a dedication to my homies (an urban term for friends), who lost their lives in tragic situations related to inner city life. The Gangsta Lean single was released under Hammers talent company, Roll Wit It Entertainment. A top selling song of the year at the time, Gangsta Lean has sold over 2.5 million copies with over 2 million views on YouTube. The song was sampled by Juelz Santana on the album From Me to U in the outro song This Is For My Homies
