They Don't Know What The Game Is About

Yea...

You betta learn what the game got to offer

Before you try to jump foot first in it

You gotta watch what you do around certain people

Gotta peep yo' surroundings

Watch for snake niggaz, snake bitches

Know what I'm sayin...

A lot of people got crooked ways

Cuz they was broke and they couldn't really make no pay

I knew a dude that worked at the super market

Makin minimum wage, livin poor and starvin

He stopped by my house and told me he was on his ass

Then he asked, could I afford to front a half

I wasn't worried about him tryna play a nigga

I knew where he stayed, So I go and spray the nigga

I ran in and out and laid down the rules

Made sure he understood everything was cool

After 3 hours he pulled in my drive way

With all my money dog, this musta been a great day

But somethin wasn't right, that was just too quick

I found out this bitch was tryna be slick

This lil trick had a mic taped to his chest

So instead I hit him in the head, not the chest

They don't know what the game about

Got caught up short

Because you tried to save a drought

The streets is hot

Live with yo' eyes and ears

Mouth closed, on ya toes and you wont get killed nigga

Now see life is a big game, Y'all playin to win

Would you risk ya own life if it meant savin ya friend

Would you be a millionaire if you woulda been savin ya ends

Are you really that real nigga that you claimin you been

Would you still act the same to ya friends

even though you made some change

or have you changed now that you havin things

But I know what, I can promise you this

Man, life is too short and ain't promisin shit

Look, you never know what tomorrow will bring

Thats why I got this mo' wet to drown my sorrows away

Cuz when tomorrow's today and yesterday is last week

Somebody could blast me

For what reason, Don't ask me

Tryna be flashy, but game run out the respect

Show none, and get that chain snatched off ya neck

But hoe ass niggaz do hoe ass shit

and hoes don't get whatever, act like ya know that shit

It's a shame

But who's to blame

You gotta stack yo change

and try ya best to get paid, yea

And if you don't know what the streets'll do

Stay out of harms way cuz it could happen to you

and you and you or me and the rest of my crew

Just handle your business and do what you do

My mama told me that life is hard

Stay focused, thank God and you'll make it far

But through the pain and scars, I seen it all

But one minute you on top and then you stumble and fall
