[Intro]

Respect to the ol' timers man, word up

And the youngins man, those that come you heard

[Hook x2]

Gangsters don't die, we just turn to legends

All we go through is hell, what the fuck is a heaven

We live fast and stall death long as possible

Get our cash in, put threats in the hospital

[Verse 1]

Young P, When I was 13 I had dreams

To do what LL did and Run DMC

Dirty ol' fuck, learnin' how to aim my pee

Older niggas in the hood used to try to thug me

Till pops gave me a knife, told me handle my things

And if not, when I came back, he would handle me

I put my first little bit of fear in niggas, I was gassed

Started hangin' with the others that was on the same shit

Had my first taste of gunfire early in my years

Gang fights, we was jumpin' niggas we was just kids

Taking coats off of victims, watches off of peoples wrists

Shootin' in the air, party, turning aiming for your head

And that's young bloods and lue, young guns from back then

Grew up to be rap's most infamous clique

Most thugs we grew up with, proud that we did it

And naturally, we got others that wanna see us hit

[Hook x2]

Gangsters don't die, we just turn to legends

All we go through is hell, what the fuck is a heaven

We live fast and stall death long as possible

Get our cash in, put threats in the hospital

[Verse 2]

Capital P, when I was 13 I had dreams

Now I'm all grown up and living out my dreams

And my pops ain't here now that nigga deceased

And that being said, how you gonna son me

Niggas bodied JMJ right there in Queens

Goes to show, there's no respect for the O.G.s

Niggas talkin' real tough like I'm N-E-X-T

Like I give a fuck about shootin' up ya peeps

Bout gettin' hit, 'bout to show you niggas how to bleed

Got guns in different states, you can't catch me sleep

Put bullets in ya heart, bullets all up in the meat

And right behind ya forehead bone you plead Gs

When it's on and poppin', you be beggin' I stop it

You be beggin' for your life, before that head shot stop it

Rappers lovin' my spit, fans lovin' my shit

And then you got those, that wanna see me hit

[Hook x2]

Gangsters don't die, we just turn to legends

All we go through is hell, what the fuck is a heaven

We live fast and stall death long as possible

Get our cash in, put threats in the hospital
