An American Gangster

What is the defnition of an American Gangster? Jay-Z's latest album speaks on his life, and how it mirrors his image of an American gangster. Not in one has he said that he "gatted up" foos or has he smoked until he got brain...
Today people think and envision the American gangster as a boy from the hoods that is able to become a Mafia leader. But no. That aint an American gangster. To me, an American gangster is someone, anyone that is able to hustle their own games. Someone who is able to keep it pimpin without the hoes and the weed. Someone who is able to stay true to themselves and achieves miracles everytime they breathe. That is an American gangster.
An American gangster is the student that works harder than the rest of his class. An American gangster is someone who creates masterpieces in her eyes. An American gangster is the one who is able to look up in the sky, and say "Yes, I've been there, ha...I am here." An American gangster is the one that is able to fly, fly higher than thought possible.
So what does that make you?
Are you an American gangster?
