Short Poems

1. “The Life of a Gangster”
Living fast and dying young,
Power, money, and respect we’ve won.
But every breath we take is a risk,
Our fate always hangs by a thread so brisk.

2. “The Price of Betrayal”
Our loyalty is our pride,
But for those who cross us, we’ll be their bane.
Those who choose to betray will pay the price,
And our punishment will be ruthless and precise.

3. “The Streets Speak”
The streets speak in whispers and codes,
Tales of power, dominance, and foes.
Our presence casts a dark shadow,
And our influence is felt in every borough.

4. “The Endgame”
The endgame is always in sight,
Some die young, some die in the fight.
But remember this when you join our life,
The cost of playing is way too high.

Medium Poems

1. “The Life of a Gangster”

I walk the streets
With a gun in my hand
I am the boss
Of this dangerous land

I rule with fear
And I kill without thought
Money is my addiction
And power is what I sought

I have no friends
Only enemies and foes
My life is full of danger
And that’s just how it goes

I know I may die
In this world that I’ve made
But until then, I’ll keep living
The life of a gangster every day

2. “The Cost of Crime”

The cost of crime is high
It can ruin a life
It tears apart communities
And causes so much strife

Gangsters and criminals
Think only of themselves
They don’t care about others
Or the damage they cause

Families are destroyed
And children are left alone
Because of the actions
Of those who should have known

That crime may seem glamorous
But it has a heavy price
It takes away your freedom
And it’s not worth the sacrifice

So let us remember
The cost of crime so severe
And strive for a better world
Where everybody can live in cheer

3. “The Redemption of a Gangster”

I’ve done a lot of wrong
And I ain’t proud of my past
I’ve hurt so many people
And I know it’s gonna last

But I’m willing to change
I’m willing to make amends
I want to make things right
And be a better man in the end

I know it won’t be easy
To undo all the harm done
But I’m willing to try
To make up for each and every one

I want to be a good father
And a role model for my kids
I want to be a good person
And do good things like I should

It’s time for me to move on
And leave my past life behind
It’s time for me to start anew
And leave the past far behind

So let me take this chance
To make myself anew
And try to make things right
And live my life anew.

Long Poems

The Life of a Gangster

Verse 1:
I grew up on these streets, raised in the rough
I learned how to fight, how to be tough
My parents worked hard, but we were still poor
So I turned to the hustle, earning more and more

Chorus:
Living the life of a gangster ain’t easy
Every day brings a new challenge, so please believe me
But I wouldn’t trade it, for anything else
I’ll keep living this way, until the day that I’m dealt

Verse 2:
The drugs and the violence, they go hand in hand
But I’m just trying to survive, in this unforgiving land
I’ve got a crew that’s loyal, we ride or die
We protect our turf, and we never tell a lie

Chorus:
Living the life of a gangster ain’t easy
Every day brings a new challenge, so please believe me
But I wouldn’t trade it, for anything else
I’ll keep living this way, until the day that I’m dealt

Verse 3:
Sometimes I think about, a different path I could’ve taken
But then I remember, the rush that comes with the money making
I don’t have time for regret, or second guessing
I’m too busy running these streets, and always re-investing

Chorus:
Living the life of a gangster ain’t easy
Every day brings a new challenge, so please believe me
But I wouldn’t trade it, for anything else
I’ll keep living this way, until the day that I’m dealt

Verse 4:
People say that crime doesn’t pay, but they don’t understand
They’ve never been in my shoes, or walked this dried out land
I’ve got respect, power, and a sense of control
I’ve got everything I need, to reach my end goal

Chorus:
Living the life of a gangster ain’t easy
Every day brings a new challenge, so please believe me
But I wouldn’t trade it, for anything else
I’ll keep living this way, until the day that I’m dealt

Verse 5:
Some people fear me, but I’ve got nothing to prove
I just keep on grinding, until I cannot move
I keep taking chances, and always rolling the dice
I keep pushing the limits, and never playing too nice

Chorus:
Living the life of a gangster ain’t easy
Every day brings a new challenge, so please believe me
But I wouldn’t trade it, for anything else
I’ll keep living this way, until the day that I’m dealt

Outro:
This is the life, that I chose to live
I won’t apologize, or try to forgive
I am who I am, and I’m proud of my name
I’m a gangster, and I’ll never change.
