It's so rough you gotta stay tough 

(gotta stay tough in 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 

(it's to everbody out there) 

Keep your heads up 



It's so rough you gotta stay tough 

(once again your homeboy Capone-E) 



[Chorus:] 

If there is 

Life of a gangster (life of a gangster life of a gangster) 

Those who not here on the streets to between world peace (bald head peace blad head peace) 

If there is 

Life of a gangster (life of a gangster life of a gangster) 

Though with neighboorhood props making shots by the cops (so rough so rough) 



[Verse 1:] 

So rough so tough let me tell you something 

Is there a heaven for a g thats what i been wondering 

Broken lights drug abuse all kinds of crimes 

Youngster on the corner slangin them nickels and dimes 

One times places us on arrest fill the rano being tough it's another drug bust 

With the schools on the corner with the windows locked 

All the homies gettin popped closing off the block 

With the birds on my sky 

Just to live and die 

Politicians passing bills just to keep self devise 

Homicide gang junction in place 

Theres no turning back tattoos filling the face 

Smiling now quiet leader its the attitude 

Crash units setting there marks to make there moves 

Faces bruised with the knuckles bust 

Trippin off efita dust living life so rough 



[Chorus:] 

If there is 

Life of a gangster (life of a gangster life of a gangster) 

Those who not here on the streets to between world peace (bald head peace blad head peace) 

If there is 

Life of a gangster (life of a gangster life of a gangster) 

Though with neighboorhood props making shots by the cops (so rough so rough) 



[Verse 2:] 

Well its brutality 

Everybody got more enemys the homies packing glock 

Everbody having felonys 

Dirty money just to pay the rent 

Fuck the president never gave a neighboorhood a cent 

They got money for war that cant feed the poor 

So we join gang now we labeled hardcore 

For to survive product of the system 

Been 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 caller and hurt 

Tryin to do right but the haters on every corner 

Everybody representing drinking some bud 

Gettin drunk at the club 

Gettin kicked out for acting up 

Livin rough cant get no peace 

survival of these feria of these man made streets 



[Chorus:] 

If there is 

Life of a gangster (life of a gangster life of a gangster) 

Those who not here on the streets to between world peace (bald head peace blad head peace) 

If there is 

Life of a gangster (life of a gangster life of a gangster) 

Though with neighboorhood props making shots by the cops (so rough so rough) 



[Verse 3:] 

Its so rough you gotta stay tough all my gangsters from my hood gotta keep your heads up 

Its so rough you gotta stay tough all single ladies with babies keep your heads up 

Its so rough you gotta stay tough all kids with the dads locked up keep your heads up 

Its so rough you gotta stay tough if you lost up into the streets keep your heads up 



[Chorus:] 

If there is 

Life of a gangster (life of a gangster life of a gangster) 

Those who not here on the streets to between world peace (bald head peace blad head peace) 

If there is 

Life of a gangster (life of a gangster life of a gangster) 

Though with neighboorhood props making shots by the cops (so rough so rough) 



Life of a gangster life of a gangster 

Bald head peace bald head peace 

Life of a gangster life of a gangster
