Gangster

It's not the way that you would listen

Or the way you comb your hair

It is the fact that you are missing

How I feel when you're not there

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

Look at me, I always get the blame

But I can't even learn to spell my name

I'd like to read, I'd like to write but where I live, I learn to fight

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

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

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

Look at me, I always get the blame

But I can't even learn to spell my name

I'd like to read, I'd like to write but where I live, I learn to fight

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