[Verse 1]
Painted face in the rearview
Black boots on the floor
Got that old school fire
And I want a little more
Walk in slow, no fear
Eyes on me, okay
I was made for the smoke
But I keep it clean today
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up high
Let them stare
Heavy on the stride
I do not care
Cold grin, hard step
Right on time
If you feel that pulse
Then you feel mine
[Chorus]
Play gangster, play gangster
I wear the grin and the rage
Play gangster, play gangster
But I stay clean on the page
Big step, no fear
Stamp the ground, make way
Play gangster, play gangster
I do it my own way
[Verse 2]
Red and white stripes
On the sleeves tonight
Got a wild little spark
And a hard look in my eye
No big talk, just proof
In the way I move
When the room gets tense
I still hold my groove
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up high
Let them stare
Heavy on the stride
I do not care
Cold grin, hard step
Right on time
If you feel that pulse
Then you feel mine
[Chorus]
Play gangster, play gangster
I wear the grin and the rage
Play gangster, play gangster
But I stay clean on the page
Big step, no fear
Stamp the ground, make way
Play gangster, play gangster
I do it my own way
[Bridge]
Dark room, loud heart
No need to pose
I bring that heavy calm
Where the whole block knows
One deep voice
One fixed stare
I came to take the night
And leave it there
[Final Chorus]
Play gangster, play gangster
I wear the grin and the rage
Play gangster, play gangster
But I stay clean on the page
Big step, no fear
Stamp the ground, make way
Play gangster, play gangster
I do it my own way
