Burning like a hell fire!!
This is no rock ‘n roll fantasy
Here is no place for chastity
This is where the hard life is at
Not just for any brat
Burning like a hellfire
They fail to inspire
They despise authority
Even though they live in inferiority
Most gang members did not finish school
They prefer a life of ridicule
They gave up school
Making each one a fool
A life of crime
Like living in slime
Crime has become a past time
Like in war time
Most gang members die young
Living a life so unsung
Yet still so young
With lives so far-flung
Living life so fast
Just getting past
They think life is a blast
Alas their lives have passed
They will be forgotten
Their lives were rotten
Talking about ill-begotten
Now they in the grave forgotten.
