[Verse 1]
Rollin' dice can help you or hurt you, your virtue
Is knowin' when to quit 'cause you've hit your cash curfew
Even if you have to get swift and swindle
It's as long as you win, so close you're simple
I see people rollin' dice with lives
Tellin' lies and cuttin' throats like knives
For a sandwich and shelter, or probably sell the
Clothes on they man's back for fame and wealth or
Go with the next man's girl and hit the skins
Get in his face and say, "Yo, we're best friends"
Scared of a tattle, because their tail shake like a rattle
And then they'll kiss behind like a saddle
That'll be the reason why you'll bleed from greed
Ready to diss your own brother at breakneck speed
You roll the dice real fast and think you're nice
But gotta be more precise
'Cause I'll keep lookin', and you'll keep schemin'
I'll start hookin', and you'll be screamin'
Startin' a tries in a alibis
'Cause you keep rollin' snake eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
[Verse 2]
The person you least expect to slit your neck
Nine times out of every ten, crimes is the prime suspect
It doesn't feel good, when you can't trust blood
And your neighbor's the neighborhood hood
Plottin' the cut-neck scam
You sleepin' in the end, you get swept 'cause you slept
You hear the dice get blown on, so step back
Snakes attack and move as fast as a Cadillac
But if found in my circumference
The next day, you'll pay to get your fronts fixed
Rollin' 11 is the opposite of heaven
It's craps, so start revvin' to make tracks
Once a snake, you stay a snake
When you were small, you took cookies
But now you take the cake
And talk behind backs, and switch facts
And tax, and probably smoke cracks
'Cause one minute, my crib, you're all in it
The next day you wanna play self centered?
Just because you're in with the fake guys
And you keep rollin' snake eyes
Yeah...
[Verse 3]
I watch people roll dice in the jungle of concrete
Where venom corrodes the streets
Where the girls get foul on the guys, why?
(They're rollin' snake eyes)
Where the guys get foul on they wives, why?
(They're rollin' snake eyes)
False producers are tellin' lies, why?
(They're rollin' snake eyes)
Policemen are takin' bribes, why?
(They're rollin' snake eyes)
So here's the solution to the problem that lies ahead
Shoot a mother****** snake dead!
For rollin' snake eyes
