[Intro]

Uh, yeah

[Verse 1]

Yuh, raised in the trenches, no fairytales

Every step, yeah I take, yeah you know I carry shells

Prolific with the grind, can't afford to fail

Dreams in my cereal, heart heavy as a whale

Struggle in the day, night full of woes

But my determination, that shit grows

I ain't backin' down, cuz I'm the realest you know

Resilience in my blood, like a line, I flow

[Chorus]

I'm a gangster, yeah, I hustle hard

No disguise through the pain, and the hustle

Yeah, I rise, like a phoеnix from the ash

Watch me take flight

[Verse 2]

Got thе fire in my soul, night in the night

Yeah, long full of memories, but I push through the strife

Every bad I face, is a part of this life

Overwhelmed by the weight, but I life it like a boss

Learn to take low losses in the game, that's the cost

Hit the grind, never whine, ain't no time to chill

From the bottom to the top, yea I'm climbin' that hill

For real

With every ounce of the struggle, yeah, I'm flexin' my will

It's passion in my chest, keep it raw, keep it real

Keep it real

[Chorus]

I'm a gangster, yeah, I hustle hard

No disguise through the pain, and the hustle

Yeah, I rise, I'm like a phoenix from this ashes

Watch me take flight, got that fire on my soul

Ignitin' that flight

[Verse 3]

Yeah, so when you see me shinin', they gon' know my name

From the cereal boxes, to the hall of fame

Ain't no stoppin' this force, cuz I'm too damn insane

With my crew by my side, we goin' to run through this game

[Chorus]

I'm a gangster, yeah, yea, we broke the mold

Through the struggle and the pain, gotta be bold

With that resilient heart, and the fire of desire

Will rise from the ashes, burning higher and higher

For real

[Outro]

I'm a gangster, motherfucker, for the heart

Cuz this ain't just a rhyme, it's life on repeat
