Gangster

[Verse 1]

It's not the way that you won't listen

Or the way you comb your hair

It is the fact that you are missing

How I feel when you're not there

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I went through all the months of January

Locked up in this cell

I'd like to be at home

But on my own I didn't do too well

[Chorus]

Look at me, I always get the blame

When I can't even learn to spell my name

I'd like to read, I'd like to write

But where I live, I learned to fight

So don't you ever say that we're the same

[Verse 2]

I don't need a doctor

Telling me I'm full of juice

It's not a statement that I'm making

But the plain and simple truth

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I went through all the months of January

Locked up in my cell

I'd like to think of home

When I'm alone, it doesn't work too well

[Chorus]

Look at me, I always get the blame

When I can't even learn to spell my name

I'd like to read, I'd like to write

But where I live, I learned to fight

So don't you ever say that we're the same
