what "Gangster" used to mean

1920's chicago and New york were pretty savage. bootleggers, illegal drugs and running broads while out gunning the competition and local cops with the brand handheld fully automattys you had to have em. ducking the feds was al capone, just trying to take his piece of the pie all while trying to set the tone. But on the east coast LA Cosa Nostra is on its way to being born. in New york taking over everything with an iron fist For the family's greater good all run by a young Italian hood. Not too tall at 5'10 but towered overall with 500 Tommy guns slung by some fucking mean paesans who were not afraid to put on a show. To those who remember luca brassi, sending message to any who crossed you wasn't a fucking joke.. your assassin lured you in with a hug and grin 9 times out of ten it's someone that you love and know. Doors shut, your vocals get cut and you know you're fucked when a 2 foot piano wire has been tightend around your throat. but Once the smoke had cleared, for well over twenty years there was peace in the organization. to the younger generation do not forget the past and i hope you took some notes. and without further Adu I would like us all to raise our glass I would like to make a toast, here's to to the founding father of modern crime, the one who laid the foundation, the capo that redefined the bosses grind, who took the leap on LA Cosa nostras stepping stones, you all know who. to Mr. lucky Luciano I say salud. I know That Alkapone was infamous for all his crimes. But I feel like nobody knew about the other side. The one so easily left behind. Now he may have been a gangster but he also Fed the poor He had soup kitchens and give big donations to help out the needy. And then some more. And If he saw a problem in his community he always tried to make it better. No questions asked. no excuses not even Chicago's shifty winter weather. while he dida engage in gambling and boot legging his vice. he rewarded ambitious family men by making sure that everybody got their slice. and that's what it used to mean when one would lead a real gangster life. .
