Life of a Gangster - Mr. Capone-E

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)

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 & peace

(War & peace, war & peace)

It’s a rough life of a gangster

(life of a gangster, life of a gangster)

Rolling through neighboorhood blocks

Lit them shots dodging cops (so rough so rough)

It’s so rough

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

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 & peace

(War & peace, war & peace)

It’s a rough life of a gangster

(life of a gangster, life of a gangster)

Rolling through neighboorhood blocks

Lit them shots dodging cops (so rough so rough)

It’s so rough

Police brutality

Everybody got more enemies

The homies packing Glocks

Everbody 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

Its 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

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 & peace

(War & peace, war & peace)

It’s a rough life of a gangster

(life of a gangster, life of a gangster)

Rolling through neighboorhood blocks

Lit them shots dodging cops (so rough so rough)

It’s so rough

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

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 & peace

(War & peace, war & peace)

It’s a rough life of a gangster

(life of a gangster, life of a gangster)

Rolling through neighboorhood blocks

Lit them shots dodging cops (so rough so rough)

It’s so rough
