The Game of Life

[Intro]
Uh, look
Can you turn it up a lit—little bit more?
Keep it—keep it goin’ though
Look, look

[Verse 1]
I showed a lotta love to n***** who ain’t deserve it (Uh)
And never talked bad when I noticed, it made ‘em nervous (7xve)
The wisdom in the roots is the truth, they see the surface
The apple fall close to the tree, I see the serpent (I see the serpent)
I keep my grass low, plottin’ moves, never do urgent
‘Cause they want you confused when you do, I move with purpose (Uh)
All this Dr. Sеbi type natural, ain’t no surgeon (Nah)
I keep a few Birkins and pursеs ‘cause I deserve it

[Hook]
The game wasn’t free, they sold it me
Tripled my worth in these streets
This soulfully deep
Promised that I’ll never fold, that’s word to Nicole
Values I hold to my soul, but my heart gettin’ cold

[Verse 2]
I had a lotta hope for n***** who had a knife out
They stabbed me in the back when they couldn’t quite cut the lights out
It never really mattered how long that y’all were down
The money come around and that history gettin’ wiped out
Started in the basement, ended up in Grace and
Got it off the pavement, I ended up a Mason
Started as an elder statesmen, that ended up in statements
Started with a few that I ended up replacin’ (I ended up replacin’)
You can’t teach loyalty but you can teach morals
So you don’t turn snake, that’s embedded way before you
Your father was a reptile, but he wasn’t around
So you thought it was normal to have fangs in your smile
In your veins, that shit wild
But I’ma win regardless
I really am a genius, played with [?] and heartless
I remain sharp and gorgeous
That’s really top numbers
Everything stepped on, that’s really [?] runners
Step for bigger purposes, you do it for vacay
Coppin’ islands, send my n***** vids through the JPay
Kill ‘em with a smirk, I might hit ‘em where it hurts
A chinchilla with a skirt
You get no figures or no work
I start to feel bad for n***** who move in panic
It never last long and they never quite understand it
‘Cause in the very end ain’t no profit in movin’ frantic
Look to you as advantage, the truth is its only damage

[Hook]
The game wasn’t free, they sold it me
Tripled my worth in these streets
This soulfully deep
Promised that I’ll never fold, that’s word to Nicole
Values I hold to my soul, but my heart gettin’ cold
