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 
(2x)

Young P, When I was 13 I had dreams 
To do what LL did and Run DMC 
Dirty little fuck, learnin how to aim my P 
Older niggaz in the hood used to try to dub me 
Til 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 fair niggaz, 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 niggaz we was just kids 
Takin coats off of victims, watches off of peoples wrists 
Shootin in the air, party, turnin aimin for ya head 
And that's young bloods and lue, youngs guns from back then 
Grew up to be raps most infamous click 
Most thugs we grew up wit, proud that we did it 
And naturally, we got others that wanna see us hit 

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 

Capital P, when I was 13 I had dreams 
Now I'm all grown up and livin out my dreams 
And my pops ain't here now that nigga deceased 
And that bein said, how you gonna son me 
Niggaz body J&J right there in Queens 
Goes to show, there's no respect for the O.G.'s 
Niggaz 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 niggaz 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 
That's right behind the forehead bone you pled Z's 
When it's on and poppin, you be beggin I stop it 
You be beggin for your life, 'fore that head shot stop it 
Rappers lovin my spit, fans lovin my shit 
And then you got those, that wanna see me hit 

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
