(Verse 1) Down in the South, where the heat is risin', There's a story 'bout some gangsters worth recognizin'. They walk the streets with a swagger so cool, Holdin' their secrets like a precious jewel. (Chorus) Gangsters from the South, they rule the night, In their fancy suits, with a dangerous plight. Through the city they roam, ghostlike shadows they cast, Fear surrounds them as their legacy lasts. (Verse 2) Cross the border where the bayou meets the street, These gangsters move in silence, swift and discreet. Their eyes sharp, minds calculatin' every move, Makin' deals in the dark, their empire to improve. (Chorus) Gangsters from the South, they rule the night, In their fancy suits, with a dangerous plight. Through the city they roam, ghostlike shadows they cast, Fear surrounds them as their legacy lasts. (Bridge) But behind the veil of their menacing ways, Some say they had hearts that were trapped in a maze. Caught in a life they never wished for or chose, Haunted by the choices that kept them close. (Verse 3) In the moonlit streets, they fight for control, No one's safe from the gangsters, that's the ultimate toll. But perhaps with a sliver of humanity left, They may find redemption, a chance to be blessed. (Chorus) Gangsters from the South, they rule the night, In their fancy suits, with a dangerous plight. Through the city they roam, ghostlike shadows they cast, Fear surrounds them as their legacy lasts. (Outro) So let this song be a cautionary tale, About the gangsters from the South, both fierce and frail. In a world so ruthless, where darkness is king, May their story remind us of the choices we bring.
