The Numbers Game

I'm talking people

About the same old game

Their running them numbers

And the winners never change

The dice is loaded

And the deck is stacked

The game itself

Will hold you back

Check out your mind

And don't be blind

To the numbers game

Don't be in the dark

All by yourself

Don't play the hand

That the dealer has dealt

We're cashing out

'Cause it's time to sell

Taking back the power

Gonna share that wealth

Come on now

Check out your mind

And don't be blind

To the numbers game

I'm talking people

About respect, yeah

Baby you can't win

When you place that bet

The dice is loaded

And the deck is stacked

The game itself

Will surely hold you back

Check out your mind

And don't be blind

To the numbers game

Check out your mind

And don't be blind

To the numbers game

Let's get hip on this

So you won't slip on this

See you gotta get hip on this

So you won't trip on this

To the numbers

To the numbers game

Check out your mind

And don't be blind

To the numbers game

Check out your mind

And don't be blind
