(It's the nature of the business it's the smugglers who lose)
I got a little proposition homey check it out we gonna put it down (Bro)
Cause you and I go way back and I know you done been around (Yeah)
These peeps that I know done put me up on some shit (Sure)
Nigga we could all come up loc we could all make grips (Bro)
I ain't talking about no bullshit ass flipping Z's
I'm talking Trump type access they coming off a gang of keys (I’m in)
Now what exscuse you got to play?
You got a wife and baby on the way? (That’s right)
Well that makes it mo better we gon work this shit together
We gonna stack enough loochie to get your girls gift from Gucci
And send your baby to college and ain't no getting caught
Cause we gon use the type of knowledge
That they never tripped off of befo
They ain't even ready for this hellified shit we got in sto (It’s happening)
And I done used the G to hook up that manpower
Shit have the okay to folks taught Pillsbury
How to push flour (Naahahaah)
Now all we gotta do is make sure this shit go through partna
Now call your crew cause we got work to do
It's a fifty-fifty chance that you can get stuck
And then snake eyes are crafted and we shit outta luck
(It's the roll of the dice that you can't afford to lose)
But if we make this shit work the whole crew gon come up
With thousands in the Seiko's Dane's and fat pocketbooks
(It's the nature of the business it's the smugglers who lose)
Next level in the game homey it's time to get this shit movign
We went up fifty keys on specking
And now we got some shit to prove it (Right)
We got the contacts in Vegas that's where we go got our troops
They'll be the ones in the casino lines dressed in blue suits
And afta Shorty Vic and Spider done picked up the shit
They gon lay low a few days to make
The trip look legit (That's some good)
But just in case them niggas get any fucked up ideas
We gon send Wino and Big Homie
To watch our back with the gear (Right)
And then them niggas gonna take the midnight train to Dallas (Dallas)
We got to hook up them baggage plans to Ras Kass Misses Alice
The cool thing about her is that if she get caught
It's still all in the family so she ain't gonna sell a nigga out
Aight then maybe they should get a U-Haul pack that shit in a mattress
(Nahahaah they best go Greyhound)
(It's still the same as motherfucking taxes)
Yeah (And all we gotta do is hold our breath about three more days)
(And cross our fingers and hope nobody get popped along the way)
You can make this quick lick and be set up for life
But if your ass get stuck I hope it ain't your third strike
(It's the roll of the dice that you can't afford to lose)
And them things you last expect sometimes out there waiting
But I hope you understand if you caught then you ain't got shit to say
(It's the nature of the business it's the smugglers who lose)

(It's the nature of the business it's the smugglers who lose)
Everything is going according to plan
This shit is on its way to the man to the man
Sit next to the goddamned man (Right)
But there's one thing you should know
There's some bustas on the bus talking loud
And drinking and acting the fool
That shit ain't cool (Say what?)
Now I don't want to have to switch this loc
So send some bodies to the next stop to get this under control
(They on they way) But be aware that they all wearing navy uniforms
And they got medals and patches
And shit they think that say Desert Storm
And they got "Gung Ho" written all over they chest
So tell Lek Ratt D-Dog P.S. to wear they vest
It's getting kinda cold out here so I'mma have to be gone
Wait hear that? Hold I think something wrong
(What's Up? Man what's going on man? What what the fuck happening?)
Awhahaah shit my nigga I'mma have to face shit
I think somebody set us up there's feds all over the place
That's the name of the game that's the way the game go
Sometimes you rise high and sometimes you sink low
(It's the roll of the dice that you can't afford to lose)
If you make it back to the hood then I'll see you around
But if they got somebody watching then stay your ass outta town
(It's the nature of the business It's the smugglers who lose)
(It's the roll of the dice that you can't afford to lose)
