Life Of A Gangster

Lyrics

[Intro] It's so rough you gotta stay tough (Gotta stay tough on these streets) Keep your heads up It's so rough you gotta stay tough (Gotta keep your head up homeboys) Keep your heads up It's so rough you gotta stay tough (This to everbody out there) Keep your heads up It's so rough you gotta stay tough (Once again your homeboy Capone-E) [Chorus] It's a rough life of a gangster (Life of a gangster, life of a gangster) Living right here on these streets Torn between war and peace (War and peace, war and peace) It's a rough life of a gangster (life of a gangster, life of a gangster) Rolling through neighbourhood blocks Lit them shots dodging cops (So rough, so rough) It's so rough [Verse 1] It's so rough, so tough, let me tell you something Is there a heaven for a G? That's what I been wondering Broken lights drug abuse, all kinds of crimes Youngster on the corner, slangin' them nickels and dimes One time's, placing us on arrest, veteranos living tough It's another drug bust Liquor stores on my corner, with the windows locked All the homies gettin popped, closing off the block Ghetto birds on my sky, just to live and die Politicians passing bills, just to keep the city divide Homicide gang injunction in place Theres no turning back, tattoos filling the face Smile now cry later is the attitude Crash units setting up narcs to make their moves Faces bruised with the knuckles bust Trippin off angel dust, living life so rough [Chorus] It's a rough life of a gangster (Life of a gangster, life of a gangster) Living right here on these streets Torn between war and peace (War and peace, war and peace) It's a rough life of a gangster (life of a gangster, life of a gangster) Rolling through neighbourhood blocks Lit them shots dodging cops (So rough, so rough) It's so rough [Verse 2] Police brutality, everybody got more enemies The homies packing Glocks, everybody having felonies Dirty money just to pay the rent, fuck the president Never gave the neighborhood a cent They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor So we join a gang now, we're labeled hardcore Forced to survive, product of the system In and out of jail and my cousin I miss him It's that rough life, so, you got to earn your stripes It's do or die just to survive All these homicide pee wees, gettin' colder trying to do right When there's haters on every corner, everybody representing Drinking some bud, gettin' drunk at the club Gettin' kicked out for acting up Livin' rough, can't get no peace Survival of the fittest, out on these man made streets [Chorus] It's a rough life of a gangster (Life of a gangster, life of a gangster) Living right here on these streets Torn between war and peace (War and peace, war and peace) It's a rough life of a gangster (life of a gangster, life of a gangster) Rolling through neighbourhood blocks Lit them shots dodging cops (So rough, so rough) It's so rough [Bridge] It's so rough, you gotta stay tough All my gangsters from my hood, gotta keep your heads up It's so rough, you gotta stay tough All the single ladies with babies, keep your heads up It's so rough, you gotta stay tough All the kids with their dads locked up, keep your heads up It's so rough, you gotta stay tough If you lost a soldier to the streets, keep your heads up [Chorus] It's a rough life of a gangster (Life of a gangster, life of a gangster) Living right here on these streets Torn between war and peace (War and peace, war and peace) It's a rough life of a gangster (life of a gangster, life of a gangster) Rolling through neighbourhood blocks Lit them shots dodging cops (So rough, so rough) It's so rough
