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.
