Old Time Gangsters

BFN JHD  gangster or celebrity
Side of the ride Having fun
Q the smoking Tommy gun 
Slick suits and boots wide brimmed hats
Banks go down around these cats 
No fear of law no fear at all
Do what they want until they fall
did they all go out in a blaze of glory 
Or was there end a different story 
Dodging bullets dogging feds
Mega bucks upon there heads 
Were they greedy were they lazy 
Born to steal or just plan crazy 
The Windy City not so pretty 
Shootings beatings tough and gritty
live life fast and pay the price 
were they naughty were they nice 
no remorse and no regret
happy with the end they met  
always there for us to see 
Their written into history
