Lyrics

[Verse 1:] It all started when he was just a chavalillo Watching his caranales smoke frios Low-riding with the homeboys He's kicking back and drinking pisto His jeifita used to say Mijo that's not the way to go He used to say I know But did he really now Checking on him now He's a crazy ass vato Killing off his Raza like it's nada He really let his familia down So late at night He sheds the tears of a clown Perdoname jefita por mi vida loca And to the lord above I wanna thank you For letting me live another day Simon, living the life of a gangster [Chorus:] Gangster, life of a gangster (Yeah, yeah...) (Yeah, yeah...) (Gangster) Living the life of a gangster (I see it in your eyes) [Verse 2:] Keep trucha for the gangster cus he's out to destroy He's the real McCoy He don't brag about the fools that he's wasting 'Cause he bangs for a sensation Not for a reputation A pinche product of the ghetto His carnal is a cuete His primo's a filero Tu quieres pedo? He'll let you have it Veinticinco for your pleito Simon, that's automatic Roll through your varrio In a stolen coche Let off a few balas And he's off into the noche Deep, It's a Chicano hang Someone's Jefita's crying But I guess that's part of life When you're living life a gangster [Chorus:] Gangster, life of a gangster (Yeah, yeah...) (Yeah, yeah...) (Gangster) Living the life of a gangster (I see it in your eyes) [Verse 3:] He was out one night doing a jale But his homeboy through a rata And he had to do a few balas I guess his life was cursed He went in as a nut But he came out even worse His jefita passed away while he was torcido Her last words was "God bless my mijo" All he could say was Rest In Peace But I wonder if she's really Resting In Peace Many Chicanos today are living blind Only 12 or 13 and already throwing up gangs signs But your jefita needs to spank you Not even hair on your nuts And you try to be a gangster You wanna be like them Doing jales and smoking frios But the one's you wanna be like are are toricods Doing nada with tiempo And you thought this life was simple? Life if a gangster! [Chorus:] Life of a gangster Life of a gangster (Yeah, yeah...) (Yeah, yeah...) (Gangster) Living the life of a gangster (I see it in your eyes) KEEP TRUCHA!
