Traditional Roughnecks Lyrics

Back in old shanghai
Original g's came alive
Cappin' muthafuckas since 1825
Old school hoods livin' in the streets
Smoke your ass and turn you into bbq beef
Livin in days gone by
Before al capone
And g-o-double-t-I (gotti)
Livin' was hard through the years
Comin' in the boats they made it here
We're the next generation in chinatown
Workin' in the kitchen but we never bow down
To nobody
Nobody gonna tell us what to do
Drop you in the trash with the moo shu
Brothers gonna work
Brothers gonna fight
Straight up g's gonna serve it up right
Life in the ghetto
Keep it good
Keep it hard
Keep it gangsta
Bring it on son
Here we are

[Chorus:]
Traditional roughnecks live it up right
We are traditional - roughnecks
Traditional roughnecks ready to die
Never gonna give it up -roughnecks
Traditional roughnecks live it up right
Now we're gonna live it up - roughnecks
Traditional roughnecks ready to die
Always traditional roughnecks

Hardcore
Hardline
Start a new life after doing hard time
The body's old but they still know how
Never forget how to give a beatdown
Yeah they're comin'
You'd better not slip while you're runnin'
The old school chinatown fire in their gunnin'
The last of the real OG's
They're chinese
Comin' back gonna smoke all your enemies
What you want (what)
What you want (what)
Roughnecks gonna take it to the front (what)
In a time when people don't care
They live by the rules of a thousand years
No rest for the wicked
Cover your ass as we kick it
Then we rip it
Every day we got to stick it
To the man
When you're livin' our life like a roughneck can

[Chorus]

It's a long way
When you fightin' to the top
Never slow down
We're never gonna stop
Blood runnin' down the stir fry
It's a battle in the streets
We live
We die
But our brothers stay strong
Fightin' for the people
Right on
There ain't no other way out
Keep your chin up
Got to stay proud
We never forget
We never regret
Our father's past
Their blood
Their sweat
They built the roads we ride again
Got to do what's right
We do it for them
Got to fight for them
Ignite for them
We got to be ready to die for them
No more tears fall tonight
Got to stand tough
And hold your head up high

[Chorus]
