Gang Life

by ~Fallen Angel~   Dec 17, 2005


Nine years old
And you all know me

I help pack that shit
And sell it to

Didn't know then
What I know now

It was life
The flag and colors
Is all you had

All I wanted was money live
To live up to name that I was
Blessed and cursed with

Both my siblings gone
I was left to represent

It gave me home
Like no other

A place I felt safe
And loved

As I grew older
It became realer

Seeing my people beat
To death,Their soul
Put to rest

Now its my turn
No longer a child
I'm grown

So I seek revenge
An eye for an eye
Why? because we were fam.

Yeah I wish I knew
What I know now
Then

Then there might
Not be so much pain
My cuz
Wouldn't have been slain

All I want now
Is to go back
And get on the right track

I see on B.E.T
People celebrating
This life

All them wannabe's
Trying to be me

If they only knew
What its really like
They my might just think twice

But it don't matter now
I'm into deep and can't
Get out

I was born into this life of crime
But to those who aren't
Need know one thing

We don't chose this life; it choses us
And yeah at times its fun
But that all ends when you see a gun

[PLZ RATE AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK AND I'LL DO THE SAME]
