yo lately i been to a lot of funerals and im realizin little by little that the old country ways that u c in gangster movies is slowly goin away and its dyin off.only a few italians are brought up the old way and its botherin me heres somethin i wrote but im kinda new to this rhymin stuff so its not that great

since the beginnin ive known wat i was and thats italian...
i dont gota rhyme about shit like more public housin...
a real G neva talks he jus does wat he says...
i was raised in a place where blaks hated us to death...
and even though that we invented the game...
were treated as white and they think we act the same...
but a whop is different from the inside out...
true dons like joe bonanno is wat made us count...
but nowadays the old ways are forgotten;stomped out...
the only remnants of the mafia is why we're known throughout...
and even though were almost extinct;assimilated to culture...
theres still a few who hang tite like vultures...
and because our race has become nearly extinct...
out numbers have slowlky began to shrink...
soon we'll be gone and with that the old country...
the values we knew will be thought of as funny...
nowadays kids have no respect and act...
everyones so quick to jump on attack...
these new thugs are willin to shoot a man in his back...
im tired of the knowledge that these people lack...
thinkin back i remeber the old timers on my block...
now theyre all dead and the thoughts become a shock...
the dons and heroes of the second war are gone...
and only we are left to keep the culture strong...
only a very few stand alone in packs...
but now i see that the true italians will neva be back

yo tell me wat u think especially if ur italian
