| Said grandma, can I get a scratch off?
|
| Just to show that I inherited your gambling ways
|
| Said grandma, can I get a scratch off?
|
| Please, buy me a lucky 7 so we both can get paid
|
| Said grandma, can I get a scratch off?
|
| When I put in all your numbers at the store for the day
|
| Said grandma, can I get a scratch off?
|
| Grandma can I get a scratch off?
|
| It’s all or nothing, quit with all the bluffing
|
| Soon as one of my cards decline, I’m in my wallet shuffling
|
| Not so lucky, I guess that’s how it’s looking
|
| I’m a pro and not a rookie, I school you all and I play hookie
|
| These were my times with Sookie
|
| Tea kettle whistling if she ever left the stove on
|
| Old age had kicked in and she sent me for a store run
|
| Gambling is in your blood, ain’t superstitious but you’re definitely knocking
|
| on one
|
| If I win we all won
|
| Behaving, imagine the good grandson that I’ve been
|
| Grandma give me the missing numbers, the cash that I need
|
| Used to love the bodegas, now they ask for I. D
|
| Had my own two dollars just to get some scratchers for me
|
| Around that time things were drastic, worrying 'bout our finances
|
| Didn’t no one give them to me, I was the one who finance us
|
| Said fuck whoever doubted, that’s when I took my chances
|
| Feel strongly about whatever I believe in cause I’m a Cancer
|
| Ain’t an auction but they gave my mans a bid
|
| Damn the CC8 just filled another bed
|
| I guess we got some time to kill
|
| And you gotta play the hands you’re dealt
|
| Fly
|
| Voice of the unheard, louder than the bomb
|
| Grandma’s boy couldn’t be prouder of my mom
|
| For this historical perspective, a political education
|
| I hardly ever gamble, my risk was too calculated
|
| Caught up in the traps, to be highly and discrete
|
| Red dollar and rented dream and get you followed by the feds
|
| Cause this life is like a lottery, a loser then you’ll probably be
|
| Living with the ghost, like Demi Moore with the pottery
|
| Testing our morality when facing our mortality
|
| Betting on a fallacy, handing over our salaries
|
| Natural born killer, they call us Mickey and Mallory
|
| 'Til our men become warriors and our women become Valkyries
|
| Cussing like some sailors in the open seas
|
| Mama got the silk for the apartment smelling like potpourri
|
| Shopping for the groceries
|
| Got her a pepsi cola and some coke for me
|
| Making a quick stop out the OTB
|
| Grandma, uh, and you knew that’s all we needed, that’s why you plant a seed and
|
| you feed it
|
| Repeat it and treat it and we play against the odds
|
| If we can only defeat it
|
| We’d see it, but we steady weeping whenever we read it
|
| End up feeling cheated, we deserve better
|
| Cause she done earned cheddar and I know she took her turn
|
| Being Tina Turner, let her be returned from her debtor
|
| You’d know all she want is world peace if you met her
|
| And one day we may travel, if you bought that scratch off
|
| Like Payola at a DJ battle
|
| And it paid off, then we made off like Madoff
|
| And ate off that plate, constantly concentrated like Adolf
|
| Came all the way, four hours in your auto
|
| Showed up at my school, saying we hit the lotto
|
| Popped a bottle then saw that we misread it at second glance
|
| That’s when I learned life isn’t up to chance
