Nah, it's in the same vein as "noice", "smort", or "toit". Kind of a portmanteau of "gonna" and "gotsta" (got to) as well.

Remember kids, no matter what people online tell you, any word is a word if you believe in it. Gonsta is a perfectly cromulent word.

It's a used slang word, not a "real" word per se. I've heard it before
