Live by the Game

Came up on this ghetto street, no choice but to carry heat Ain't nothing staring me, apparently, till they bury me I'm serving, working, Chevy hugging this curb and Got to watch out for them jackers cause you know they stay lurking And they itching to plot a scheme, but I won't let them stop my dream Can't leave my crib without my tool stuffed in my jeans They keep banging, slanging, on them corners we hanging Get twisted in the wrong situation and leave you stanking I was built for this, but I must admit it's just too hot My focus in this rap shit just to get me off this block And mama, she broke her neck to make sure I didn't want for nothing But I was so self-destructive, I had to wish off the hustling I'm thugging, rolling the dice with my life on a nightly basis See if I crap out, I'll probably be trapped out, I should be patient And paper ain't never promised, so product I push that I just pray my baby brother don't follow my footsteps I'm in the game, I live the game Think about the pain, it's a shame that I can't shake the game Everybody and they mama asking why But I'm in the game, live by the game and in the game Imma die I'm in the game, I live the game Think about the pain, it's a shame that I can't shake the game Everybody and they mama asking why But I'm in the game, live by the game and in the game Imma die This life I'm living like a magnet for drama All night I fight with all my might to get that almighty dollar I be hustling, struggling, out here thirsty and thugging Got to watch the way I move, I got enemies by the dozen It's cold, but I wish it wasn't, the chopper's constantly busting These niggas that barely know me will smoke me all over nothing They hating, waiting to put me under the pavement Ask god to walk with me through the dark cause my heart was aching Don't ever say your location, I swear my conscience was gone Ain't no excuse for my actions, I know I was doing wrong Lord I just pray you forgive me, I got blood on my hands Tryna find a way to wipe them clean, but I don't understand How I maneuver through this game, no fear, risking it all When it's check out time, you best be prepared when you get the call Now everybody and they mama asking why But I'm in the game, live by the game and in the game Imma die
