https://www.reverbnation.com/artwhimsicallyyoursstudioThe Gangster Trap! I chose to become a Gangster at an early age just to feed my rage on the south side of Chicago where my life took a turn to a bloodier page. cause that windy city took no pity on an Average Joe where poverty sucked so I found mo. As a teen I fell to the allure of the local gangs, a sure cure to my being broke and failing school hey man, having no cash is cruel So I braved their strict initiation that was required for me to join ‘em but someone had to die by my hand my victim was picked by the flip of a coin, man! Only fifteen lean and hungry with a glock tucked in my pants hunting down my chosen target knowing I just had one chance. I crept up on him in an alley as he left some crummy bar, I fired three shots and I tallied my first kill, he didn’t get far. The gang’s instructions made it clear I had to bring back a souvenir, and as I walked up next to him his eyes filled with fear I cut off his ear. He was a rival gang member who had pissed off the leader of my new homies and my target had existed only till I was chosen to hunt him to be my first trophy. I was a shorty who went on to mule drugs and collect debts that were overdue I was a top enforcer you didn’t want me chasing you. I was a baller with a doo rag of red it was the last thing that many saw before they wound up dead I flew the colors as I sliced, shot or smothered enemies of my brothers in the hood as a member I was real, real, good but I got hooked on Drop eight balls and then I screwed up some deals costing my brothers cash flow violating the street code Soon enough I was marked SOS …shoot on sight I had to flee from their turf or wind up ten toes down in the dead of the night. Only 21 and marked for a coffin all the hustling I did was so quickly forgotten and I did not get too far One night as I walked out of a crummy bar In an alleyway heading to my car three shots rang out piercing my marked flesh as my face and the pavement became enmeshed. just another tally on a new gangsters gun making him my replacement for the wrongs I had done "Hey, Gangster you really screwed up good they sent me to kill you. you're out of the brotherhood you'll wind up in a dumpster with the garbage and trash, I'll wind up as your replacement I'm gonna be a smash Enjoy the hell you're going to I see you someday when I get there but for now your life is through your life is through I did what i had to do..... When I opened my eyes I was on the dark side where all evil is flung in a rapid descent. and I met my creator the most wicked of pranksters The beast who'd do me in The true King of all gangsters. he laughed in my face because I fell for his [naughty word removed] yeah man i fell for his [naughty word removed]!! then he threw my flesh into a deep and dark pit where all of the men I had killed were sent to obey the guards who were demons ordering them all to skew every part of my body with swords, shivs and knives turning me into Swiss cheese but I was still alive at least I think I was but I don't reallyknow and I knew then I’d be my victims target and bleed endlessly, viciously in a gang banging Ball for all eternity…..eeee .,…eeeeee ….eeeee all eternity...all eternit help me please...all eternity Music created, played and arranged by- J.

I admire your creative spirit, Matt, and I very much enjoy listening to your songs. Once again, this one sounds like nothing I've ever heard before (except maybe for other songs of yours that I've heard). The music's cool, as is the voice and delivery of the narrator. The story flows nicely from beginning to end. I'm wondering what inspired you to write this song. In any case, it's a good one, and I'm glad to have heard it. Thanks for posting. ... David

Hey Travis, it's a lot to consume and the spew out into a microphone, but I love to tell stories and that urge sometimes works out well enough to become a unique song. I already have it memorized because I sang it a whole lot of times over when I recorded it. So no idiot boards for me. LOL Thanks for your listen and your comment.

Hey Dave, My spirit demands that I go against the flow, step out of that standard music box and create something that's not been heard before in a genre that probably doesn't exist. As to what inspired it, I had a cousin who was a gangster and who was killed in a robbery at his home by other gangsters, because he had talked too much about a trip he was taking and the money he was going to blow when he got there. He was shotgunned in the chest through hs front door, it was closed at the time, but he managed to open it and wing and shoot up two of the three attacking him with his pistol before he bled out in his girlfriends arms. He was only 27 at the time. Such a waste. Thanks for your very heartwarming comment and listen. There are some people out there who get me and what I am trying to do. They number in the thousands thankfully and you are one of them and I thank you for that. ~~Matt
