Keyshia Cole's Most Gangster Love Songs

Keyshia can make thugs cry!

"Trust" - Any person would be grateful to have a love like this, including most real gangsters, which is why the song is on this list. The lyrics say it all: "I know you've seen a lot of things in your life/Got you feeling like this can't be right/But I won't hurt you/I'm down for you, baby."  (Photo: Geffen Records)
Keyshia Cole - The wife, mother and reality star performed her new single "Zero" for the first time for the UNCF crowd. Watch UNCF: An Evening Of Stars on Sunday, January 27, at 10P/9C!
"Enough of No Love" - The concept is pretty boss. Keyshia puts everything on the table like a true lady don, letting her significant other know, "I can't stay here if there's no love."   (Photo: Geffen Records)
"Trust and Believe" - Not only is the video a powerful statement, but so was the singer's performance during Black Girls Rock! A slight bit vengeful in tone, but also soulful, Keyshia mimics Dionne Warwick's sentiments from her song "You're Gonna Need Me" with the words: "Trust and believe me/you're gonna need me/Trust and believe me, she'll never be me/And I'm so over you."  (Photo: Geffen Records)"I Choose You" - Keyshia Cole chose bravery on this song, plainly stating: "Baby I know love's not perfect/Even if he gives me the world/It'll never be enough/Cause I choose you." She's taking a chance on love all over again. That's gangster!  (Photo: Geffen Records)
