The Game Of Life

When you gotta tough it out just to get to the top,

Don't stop. Keep playing...

The game of life.

When you gotta do your dirt and somebody get hurt,

It's either you or him playing...

The game of life.

When you got nowhere to go and creepin' on the low,

Don't stress. Keep playing...

The game of life.

Cause when your time has come to blow,

then these niggas will know you ain't playing...

Nigga, it's the game of life.

Nigga, it's the game of life.

Yo, I been up against worse (word!)

Until I'm in a hearse, whether or not rehearsed,

still kill 'em with a verse (word!).

Hit 'em with a curse (true!),

Gettin' 'em first,

I see some niggas throw down, and the rest disperse.

I gotta call a spade a spade,

no matter the deck,

Snakes creep in the shade,

you gotta cut 'em at the neck,

For the respect, punk niggas get left,

or get jacked with the gat when they cash their cheques.

I'm all ears,

What you sayin'?

Speak louder than that, you ain't clear.

What you sayin'?

All you scary-ass cats are,

not with the time that my watch provides,

I don't need body language,

I just watch your eyes,

Man you slow at how you doin' it,

Pick up the pace,

My niggas show you how to do it,

son, we pick up the place,

Here's a word for the wise,

and a thought for your mind,

I can take you to the sky,

paint a picture with a rhyme,

If you down, we can fly,

Gimme a second to twist

and with with a blizz

we can all get high.

Nigga, it's the game of life.

These muthafuckers won't stop 'till your dead,

get control of yourself

and put your poker face on for the hand you were dealt,

Smarten up!

It's the game of life that gets played,

Not the game that decides when it's time to get paid.

It's time to get ready when the race is on,

Where you gonna get the strength when the pace is gone?

When you paid then the game is won,

At this stage there's a couple other ways that the game is going.

Number one.

Stay to true to the essence of you,

and stay true to the rest of your crew,

they're a blessing to you.

Number two.

Fear nothing that breathes,

but beware what be under the leaves.

In their sleeves they got aces in the waitin',

to trump your game,

and if you let these niggas win,

they have put you to shame,

and that's no way to be seen, son,

I never play clean,

The cleaner the play, the dirtier the game seem,

Nigga, opposites attract,

Keep watching your back,

and if you see 'em coming at you,

bring the counter attack.

You ain't slick if you fall,

or the king if you lose,

or the champ if you choke or run with wack dudes.

The game of life.

Played by those who take chances.

Life.

Many ways,

Life.

How you livin'?

Are you doin' it right.

Because...

Life...

Ain't certain,

they could take it tonight

It's the game,

it makes you lose your mind,

it makes you lose control.

It's a game.

Makes you blind,

and makes you lie,

and makes you lose your light.

Game of life.

Game of life.

woah! woah! woah!

woah! woah! woah!
