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 you 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 now
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 its 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 about
Rock it out.
Me draw for me spliff not
The cocaine
Me lef it out.
Babylon ah watch m 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
