| Gotta is slang/street version of got to (have to), based on its pronunciation. Similarly, Wanna = want to; Gonna = going to. |

I suppose it can be used in future tense the same way "going to" is used. For example..."We're gonna die" is in the immediate future tense...describing something that is going to happen but not yet -- there I just used it in that context... |
