Games

Ahh, what's up man?
What up Ali?
Ah you still standing on this motherfucking corner?
Shit ain't you 30 years old motherfucker?

So when I pick up the microphone I know what I'm saying
Wasn't long ago I was facing the same situation
Carpet got ripped from me pacing
The rent's a month late ain't shit on the way I'm straight praying
Ends don't meet unless you make 'em
The people don't eat unless you scraping
You see they ain't playing
Corner store credit is way thin
The world got it's way of weighing on your shoulders it's degrading
It's like we got frowns tattooed on our faces
The schools ain't saving our new generation
Stare at our kids they need a paradigm shift
The paradox is their parents aren't shit
Why you got cable your life is not stable
Light's not paid for, Nike's on layaway though
It's like we wanna look good while we drowning
Should grab a paddle and scrap our way out

Life's not a game when you're living it like this
Leave your lane for a minute you might flip
It's like chains on your neck with a tight grip
Use your brain and this shit and you might live
Life's not a game when you're living it like this
Leave your lane for a minute you might flip
It's like chains on your neck with a tight grip
Use your brain and this shit and you might live

Revenue in the drug game, my hustle got another name
You die making somebody rich, it's the fucking same
So quick to call a square job brother lame
Truth be told you might wanna choose another lane
Yeah I'm bussing 'til my bitch ass job
You on the corner peddling them bitch ass rocks
And yes I'm getting sweated by my bitch ass boss
Your ass steady running from them bitch ass cops
The shit don't stop, the game ain't new
The pen's full of dudes who thought the same shit too
That TV is a blindfold here to keep your eyes closed
'Til you're cracking this hard dough in fly clothes
Shit ain't nothing like the Sopranos
Real talk you're probably better off at McDonald's
Rappers all say they went from hustling to rhyming
But look, everybody say the other one's a liar

Life's not a game when you're living it like this
Leave your lane for a minute you might flip
It's like chains on your neck with a tight grip
Use your brain and this shit and you might live
Life's not a game when you're living it like this
Leave your lane for a minute you might flip
It's like chains on your neck with a tight grip
Use your brain and this shit and you might live

Man fuck you Brother Ali, you always running your mouth
Just 'cause you got that rap shit cool?
Man we on these streets motherfucker, get out here and see how it is

It don't matter about me rapping my ass is still scratching
Someday I'ma be the "Yo remember back when?"
While I'm here I got to really make it happen
Try to have emergency landing instead of crashing
Fuck saying I been here brother I am here
Might not live here this year but I still care
Not talking down to you, straight to you
No player hater my dude it's plain true
Gotta live like don't nobody love you but you
As long as your blood move, tragedy can touch you
Struggle ain't nothing new
Cards ain't always gon' land how you want 'em to
Fuck it though thug it through
Can't give up as much as you'd love to
There's certain shit as a man we must do
You're goddamn right they made it like this
But I ain't trying to wait for the day they might fix it

Life's not a game when you're living it like this
Leave your lane for a minute you might flip
It's like chains on your neck with a tight grip
Use your brain and this shit and you might live
Life's not a game when you're living it like this
Leave your lane for a minute you might flip
It's like chains on your neck with a tight grip
Use your brain and this shit and you might live
