There'll be a man, one to lead his people into victory
One who goes through time, one who seen pain
The one who sees the glory
That man is I, Capone, the leader, follow me
They wanna beat me like Rodney
See me like Pac
Have me like O.J. doing 100 in the drop
Railroad me like the Hurricane but I won't stop, let's go
Look at my life
(Look at my life)
Look at my life, I'm a gangsta
(Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta)
Look at my life
(Look at my life)
Look at my life, I'm a gangsta
(Gangsta)
I'm a gangsta
Yo, yo, take a journey through my life
Walk through the nights with me
It's a long road ahead of us
I hope that your Nike's crispy
Queensbridge, a trife city, dilapidated slums
I've seen political homicides and crack related ones
Pac and Biggie, God bless 'em I don't know where to begin
Forgive me, Lord, for I've committed a sin
I sold crack to my man's mom, I feed my uncle dope in his arm
I testify to every word wrote in this song
Except the 5th Commandment, â€~Thou shall not kill'
I obviously ignored it 'cause my blood shall not spill
So I chose to squeeze first
Put you 6 feet deep in the dirt
And watch your cold soul emerge from the earth
I was a star first, then I grew into the sun
Destined to shine over the planet
Till I came across a gun, infatuated by the sound
When the shots get sprayed, like
(Gunshots)
I'm about to take the streets to another phase
Look at my life
(Look at my life)
Look at my life, I'm a gangsta
(Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta)
Look at my life
(Look at my life)
Look at my life, I'm a gangsta
(Gangsta)
I'm a gangsta
I'm amazed, I'm still living, I came close to the end of my days
I couldn't let the streets raise my two siblings or my kid
I'm too thorough, I survived through prison
Collide with rival clicks spitting, listen
I live life like I'm racing to an early death
Exceeding the speed limit with no brakes
Quiet when I step, reality bites
I'm gangsta for life, so I squeeze like
I hold the mac precise with 32 shot clips
And turn your hard top into a convertible drop whip
They talking to rappers, chose my name to reflect
I'm hot, grimy entertainers come drama east to west
I don't wanna kill no more
At times I hear death knocking at my front door
Feeling like I'm being watched
Every time that I score
What if the pigs got me on surveillance?
A rebel to the law, I got 2 strikes against me
1 shot in me, a vest and a semi
It's me against the world, don't tempt me
Look at my life
(Look at my life)
Look at my life, I'm a gangsta
(Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta)
Look at my life
(Look at my life)
Look at my life, I'm a gangsta
(Gangsta)
I'm a gangsta
A tour bus from jail, a mink
A pound of the real, a 37 inch link
Money in the bank, a coupe to match it
I was released like a boss that's active
You know the kind of thing a gangsta could relax in
Life's a bitch but fuck it
Trying to keep my whole faculty covered
And spits more like an Iraqian thugging
If you wanna take me, Mommy, I'm coming
But if not, they can never break me
I'ma keep gunning and bust shots
Look at my life
(Look at my life)
Look at my life, I'm a gangsta
(Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta)
Look at my life
(Look at my life)
Look at my life, I'm a gangsta
(Gangsta)
I'm a gangsta
Look at my life
(Look at my life)
Look at my life, I'm a gangsta
(Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta)
Look at my life
(Look at my life)
Look at my life, I'm a gangsta
(Gangsta)
I'm a gangsta
