If you trample on your fellow man
And you have no love in your heart
One day they'll come for you
One day you'll be running too
Little gangster, say one day you'll be running too
ooh, little gangster
You can tell by the way he walks that
you don't wanna get in his way
You can tell that he stopped caring a long long time ago
You can tell by the look in his eyes
He don't care if he lives or dies
One foot on the way of the gun and the other in the grave
Too much fussing and fighting
Not 'nuff hugging and uniting
Too much fussing and fighting
But one day just look over your shoulder,
just look over your shoulder
One day you'll be running too (Gangster, gangster)
History will catch up with you (Gangster, gangster)
One day you'll be running too (Gangster, gangster)
Oh, one day you'll be running too
You can tell by the tracks of his tears
Scars go deeper than the skin
'cause you can tell that noone gave a damn about the boy
He's just walking the path he's givven
and he does what he has to do:
He keeps his head cool, keeps his heart cold
And doesn't worry about the blood on his hands
One day you'll be runnnig too little gangster
One day you'll be running to
Gangster, gangster!
Gangster, gangster!
Gangster, gangster! oh, one day you'll be running...
