Lyrics

Life of a gangster, gangster, life of a gangster
Yeah, life of a gangster, gangster, life of a gangster

Yo, check it, everybody wants to be a gangster
From the privileged urban preppies to the blue-collar working class
The real gangster living in the hood, living on the streets
and a life of crime exchanging dead presidents for smack or crack
The life of a gangster, gangster, gangster, gangster
not by choice, but by circumstance

So you wanna be a gangster to get some respect
Just follow me into my crib, I’ll show you a quick way to be six feet under
You think it’s cool to pack a MAC-10
the only way to get respect in the mighty hood

Life of a gangster, gangster, life of a gangster
Life of a gangster, gangster, life of a gangster

Yo, check it
Then you’re holding your friend who’s dying in your arms
A victim of a drive-by, cause he dissed someone
And all that remains is a blood-stained path
only a distant memory that soon will pass

People will say that he was just another hood rat
And one day will come when you diss someone
And your friend will be holding you while you die in his arms
And you think to yourself, I’m too young to die
I’m not ready to take a dirt nap
Damn

He was right, a quick way to be six feet under
A vicious cycle that never ends, the life of a gangster

Life of a gangster, gangster, life of a gangster
Life of a gangster, gangster, life of a gangster
Life of a gangster, gangster, life of a gangster
Life of a gangster, gangster, life of a gangster
