I, I know it's only time.
Only time until,
you pull the job that kills.
You say you'll never do it
again but you know
you will.
Call your boys who know
the drill.
It pains me to see how
you get your thrill.

Now time will prove,
now you have to choose,
if life's the game you lose,
by taking one last chance
and falling,
to the Gangster Blues.

I, I heard the people say,
you're in high demand.
Well badness will follow
badman.
You know you only do it
son cause you know
you can.
Another drive
another gram.
Well think of your family,
understand.

Now time will prove,
now you have to choose,
if life's the game you lose,
by taking one last chance
and falling.

You know it's true,
life can be so cruel.
Time won't wait for you.
And I don't want my
friend a victim,
of the Gangster Blues.

Bad man and bad John
from all bout.
Rock it out.
Me draw for me spliff not
the Cocaine.
Me lef it out.
Babylon ah watch me run
big tings from long time.
Time, time ey yeah.
Burning, hustling, smuggling,
planting.
Ah bare weed me deal wid
and me nah touch,
de hard ting.
Soon done ya chattin when
de war start fi happen
right now.

Now time will prove,
now you have to choose,
if life's the game you lose,
by taking one last chance
and falling,
to the Gangster Blues.
