Game of Chance

(Verse 1:)
Who holds the handle of that swinging axe we anticipate?
Is it a twist a fate or something we instigate?
Would it exist without a name or would it fade, making way for another spiritual theory to Fill its place?
To further illustrate a belief in coincidence
Filling us with wonder while we ponder its significance
If all events are pre-determined and will eventually be embedded in memory
Essentially this is destiny, what is meant to be it, will be
Though we may wish it was down to you or up to me
We must understand to leave it up to chance 1s to put it up in the hands of something with other plans
Precisely what was it you spotted in the cloud formations?
Blackjack, bust or four aces?
Maybe it‘s a test of dexterity strength or patience
The nature of this dangerous game that we’re all placed in

(Chorus:)

We all are players in this game of chance
Rolling the dice watching destiny dance
Throughout another dreamscape, clutching a keepsake
To keep us safe at the mercy of supreme fate
There’s no cheating in this game of chance
Only roll the dice if you know the odds in advance
As fate twists, make this the greatest of tricks
When the cards on the table are flipped

(Verse 2:)
I collide with horoscopes, wander off the chosen track
Just to be thrown back to fulfilling my position on the zodiac
Envision a path, encrypted in the stars
Written by the Moirai recited via tarot card
And as fate would have it, met the brother Hunny B and he introduced me to a new habit
I’m pretty sure I never got to tell you
But if it wasn't for you, this kid would’ve never started rapping
But who could've predicted that next horrific action
The black day we lost you in the blink of an eyelid to violence and madness, what was it's lesson?
What sick and twisted turn of events could let it happen?
Circumstance would dictate in this place the worst case
Ripple through the entire crew like an earthquake
So unfair and unjust when we faced with
The nature of this dangerous game that we all placed in

(Chorus)

(Verse 3:)
You better get to grips make peace inside
Never hang on to something you should leave behind
Better do what you can to find peace of mind
Whether you believe in evil or Jesus Christ
You better cross and dot your t’s and i's
For even the cleanest life can be redesigned
Better stop the clock and read the signs
Cos lady luck be keeping watch with the keenest eyes
You can conquer demons with the right frame of mind
Or wind up in the wrong place at the wrong time
And just when-you thinking life is good, better knock on wood
Since we never could be certain of its likelihood
It can smell fear, so never show that its there
Never give it the satisfaction of knowing you scared
When it's all said and done I’d rather let it all ride
Than run and hide its line, just remember that

(Chorus)
