Gangster Lyrics

[Verse 1: Rietti]
Never did I claim to be a gangster, never did I claim to be a pimp
As a kid I was a wimp, when it came to school fights I would be hollerin' at my shrink
Sensitive as a Wilkinson blade to the skin, faking many grins, taking hate on the chin
Never had the guts to retaliate then so I've been building up a rep ever since
We don't use guns and violence, just tongues and rhyming
No wonder ‘Mouth Is My Weapon' is constantly chiming
It gets vibed by hoodlums, even good chums, I'm a fireman to those who ring sirens
But I've upgraded since a kiddie building lego, scooting to school whippin' pebbles like a mini rebel
You looking for beef now? We can begin heckles! Chickens spread your wings if I was you i'd still be careful because…

[Chorus: Rietti]
Never did I claim to be a gangster
You're not one either, so you can hush your' gums
You can keep repeating all your mantras
Coz' in the end, you'll still be just a chump

[Verse 2: Rietti]
Now I'm not the first Jew, to pop the bubble
Breakout like Incredible Hulk from under rubble
Because im white, British, swotty - quadruple chuckle
Like Susan Boyle suddenly cast as a supermodel
But these bullies, how they air their views Ooh!
Mudslingers, something I'm prepared to do too
Whip out your horns, blow and blare it 'Toot, Toot'! Your Yes-men who do care are too few
I know, I know i'm white trash, Jews can't rap
Off-the-rails, bike crash, bla bla bla, shut your trap!
Lets render this a bygone, I'm gonna use it to benefit
Wax lyrical candlesticks, see it through to the end of it
The spit and the blitz you claim to spray aren't harsh
Its basic face it, racist smart arse
So threaten me with Joker knives and movie quotes
Only time you drew a blade on my face was in art class
Ha!

[Chorus: Rietti]

Never did I claim to be a gangster
You're not one either, so you can hush your' gums
You can keep repeating all your mantras
Coz' in the end, you'll still be just a chump

[Verse 3: Rietti]
Never been to jail, hell no was I fingerprinted
Never had a shady BMW with it's windows tinted
So I can roll around my hood, like I've been convicted
That burn ain't no gang-stamp, you think it was self inflicted?
I don't wear dookie chains, tattoos or sport an AK
Never spray painted a brick wall, for street cred
See I'm fed up of ya'll criticising in great haste
You ask why? Well it's coz I'm a G, bled!

[Chorus: Rietti]
Never did I claim to be a gangster
You're not one either, so you can hush your' gums
You can keep repeating all your mantras
Coz' in the end, you'll still be just a chump
