THIS POEM IS FOR ALL THE REAL AMERICAN GANGSTAS

NOT THOSE HIP HOP WANKSTAS

I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT DMX AND THE RUFF RYDERS, THE LOX, 50 CENT, LIL WAYNE OR EVEN TUPAC

I’M NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT STANLEY “TOOKIE” WILLIAMS OR EVEN THE DETROIT CHAMBER BROTHERS

THE REAL AMERICAN GANGSTAS ARE SOME TRULY BAD MOTHERFUCKERS

I’M TALKING ABOUT A.I.G, BANK OF AMERICA,
ANGELO MOZILO OF COUNTRYWIDE, GOLDMAN SACHS, THOSE ARE THE TRUE PIMPS AND MACKS OF AMERICA

NICKY BARNES AINT GOT SHIT ON THEM

GANGSTA RAPPERS CLAIM THEY ARE FROM THE STREETS TO GET STREET CRED AND GET SUBURBAN FANS CASH

BUT AFTER WATCHING THE DOWNFALL OF THE WORLD’S ECONOMY ON TV

I KNOW THE TRUE AMERICAN GANGSTAS REALLY ARE FROM THE STREETS, BUT THOSE STREETS ARE NOT IN DETROIT OR COMPTON, THE MOST RUTHLESS GANGSTAS COME FROM THE STREETS OF NEW YORK

BUT I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE BRONX, I’M TALKING ABOUT WALLSTREET

YOU TELLING ME I COULD GO TO PRISON FOR 10 YEARS FOR HAVING A KILO OF COKE ON ME, YET THESE C.E.Os, BANKERS

REAL ESTATE FRAUD ARTIST, CAN ROB AND BANKRUPT THIS COUNTRY AND WALK AWAY SCOTT FREE

DAMN I GOT TO TAKE MY HAT OFF TO THOSE CATS BECAUSE THAT IS SOME GANGSTA ASS SHIT TO ME!
