You want what ive got you wish to be me
You want the respect but you want it for free
You want to walk in my shoes do what ive done
But iam so far ahead and you have only begun
I have cheated stolen and lied
Ive been very violent and somehow survived
But you will never beat me you'll be buried alive
But if i was you i would rather be me
Because iam the godfather so i can never be free
You want important people to know your name
You want a reputation because your lifes so lame
You want a claim to fame but your all so the same
You want the lifestyle but you must be of your time
And your still in your prime and you have so little done
Like a setting sun the clock is running out
But iam the godfather so i will never fade out
Theres a long way to go before your even on par
With the rest of the best gangsters i have gone so far
Ive taken risks and been brave
So the name godfather lives on long after the grave
I was the first one of a kind
You will never catch up your to far behind
I have done things you have never suspected
And all the sins to witch i have been subjected to
Has definetly afected the way ive neglected you
I have masterminded scheams
Lived out your wildest dreams
Iam in charge the leader the boss
Iam the godfather but i couldnt give a toss
Because for all that i have gained
Ive suffered a loss
