Play for Keeps |
| How much must I repeat? |
| We only play for keeps |
| No time-outs, no free throws, no refs, no penalties |
| No handouts, no pit stops, no cheat codes, no sleep |
| But the drinks are on us, if you with it then pull up a seat |
| When you’re roaming through the jungle talk is nothing, talk is cheap |
| Time is money, money is power, power corrupts eventually, damn |
| So what are the options? |
| What are the choices left for me? |
| What other rule is left to break? |
| I guess my fate is a quest for me |
| Man I’m a dog that ain’t got no leash |
| Man got a crib, it ain’t got no lease |
| Man got a flow that ain’t got no brain |
| But I still get brain, no hands no teeth, uh |
| Nowadays, niggas are killas on the beat |
| But where I was raised all of the killas was down the street |
| Better do your research |
| Feeling like I fell out of the sky and landed feet first |
| My squad go hard, my squad go concrete, watch my team work |
| Hell yea, you can tell that the boy finna eat cause I took my seat first |
| 3 course meal, full entrée, refills and I want my dessert |
| So why not make a toast? |
| Tomorrow could always be worse |
| Now keep them bottles coming by the kiloliter |
| And get that Ana off your chest, try to keep a clean shirt |
| I’m so Grand Hustle, you ain’t even in my league sir |
| What’s up with these nerds? |
| They be out here, gettin' their salads tossed, gettin' their leaves turned |
| The game just ain’t what it used to be, the quality is blurred |
| But a dying breed survives and a dynasty emerged |
| So put it in the air if you entirely concur |
| She call me hippie cause I live without any concern |
| Up on this green earth, I’m on them green herbs |
| Yeah yeah, yeah, I stay in them trees like the Keeblers |
| And they say that I look higher in person |
| As a kid I played in the yard, but now I’m astro turfing |
| I lived the actual version of the fantasies they utter |
| Made up stories of threesomes, they must just be seeing double |
| Run for cover, here comes trouble |
| My heart is going cold so I gotta sleep with warmer covers |
| Polar bear pimpin', solar flare spittin' |
| Somebody tell ‘em that this is professional stuntin', don’t attempt it |
| Society is twisted, they tryna take us under |
| So when you see them folks, don’t forget to warn a brother |
| I made it out alive but still the battle is a struggle |
| Veni, vidi, vici, I came, I saw, I conquered |
| They mad cause I murdered the game |
| And their name wasn’t in the will |
| You see, most of these haters are mad rappers who just still waiting on a deal |
| And they jealous of my success cause my shoes cost more than a bill |
| But I’ll never sit down at another table unless I’m invited to the meal |
| To some it’s like conquering mountains, to me it’s like stepping on hills |
| Remember the images in your mirror can be bigger than they appear |
| And the truth can be hard to swallow, depends on the size of the pill |
| And by the looks it’s about the time that you had your prescription filled |
| My life, full length feature presentation |
| There are no intermissions, no time for commercial breaking |
| A fighter in his prime, a legend in the making |
| There’s no debating when you let your numbers make the statement |
