The Game

歌詞

Rollin' down the highway With a trunkful of work I just lost my job Didn't wanna be a mailroom clerk Besides it didn't pay but dimes And the boss had a disrespectful mouth If I wasn't on parole I would've knocked the motherfucker out So I'm drivin', gotta get me some fast cash Ain't tryin' to hurt nobody Mama, maybe it's wrong But I gotta get the money, it's a must have If I get caught, I go back to jail with no bail It's the risk that I'm takin' I'm convinced so, ain't fakin' It's the life I choose Win or lose, that's the way you play life's game If you play it wrong then you're the one to blame If I can choose I would make a change But it's the same old song that everybody shame Now, I'm my own boss And I ain't got no friction 'Coz I'm a bootleg pharmacist You don't need no prescription [Incomprehensible] that's my law Tryin' to get the dough and retire 'Coz if I stay in it too long The Feds gonna set my ass on fire And if they come Gotta hold court in the streets And one of three things will happen I get away, get the chair or die cappin' And if they catch me right And I can't fight, I go back to prison And like my mama say, you can't always bust your gun She goes sometimes you gotta run Win or lose, that's the way you play life's game If you play it wrong then you're the one to blame If I can choose I would make a change But it's the same old song that everybody shame All the odds are against me 'Coz I'm already a felon I'd probably die this time in jail 'Coz I ain't doin' no tellin' I'll probably lose the girl that I love She'll turn her back once the money's spent And play it off to her friends Like it was a heated argument Win or lose, that's the way you play life's game And you're the one to blame If I can choose I would make a change And everybody shame Bad game, it's a bad game, yeah It's a bad game, yeah, yeah It's a bad game, yeah, yeah, yeah To the mother who's watching over You know the game ain't fair Sometimes you can't change their mind So, all you got is prayer Win or lose, that's the way you play life's game Then you're the one to blame If I can choose I would make a change That everybody shame Win or lose, that's the way you play life's game Listen, I ain't got that much time Only four minutes to sing to you But I hope and pray that you will listen While I try to school you Bad game, bad game Nobody wins That everybody shame
