THE GAME Chico Debarge Rolling down the highway With a trunk full of work I just lost my job Didn't want to be mailroom clerk Besides it didn't pay but dimes And the boss had a disrespect of mouth If I weren't on parole I would've knocked the motherfucker out So I'm driving, gotta get me Some fast cash, ain't trying to hurt nobody And mama maybe it's wrong but I gotta get the money It's a must have If I get caught I go back to jail With no bail, hey It's the risk that I'm taking I'm committed so I ain't faking It's the life I choose Win or lose That's the way you play life's game If you play it wrong Then you're the one to blame If I can choose I would make a change But it's the same old song But everybody change Now I'm my own boss And I ain't go no friction Cause I'm a bootleg pharmacist You don't need no prescription Got a clientele that's a mile long Trying to get the dough and retire Cause if I stay in it too long The feds are gonna set my ass on fire And if they come gotta hold court in the streets And one of three things will happen I get away, get the chair, or die cappin' And if the catch me right and I can't fight I go back to prison And like my momma say You can't always bust your guns Chico sometimes you gotta run Win or lose That's the way you play life's game If you play it wrong Then you're the one to blame If I can choose I would make a change But it's the same old song But everybody change All the odds are against me Cause I'm already a felon I'll probably die this time in jail Cause I ain't doing no telling Hey but I'll probably lose the girl I love Hey she'll turn her back once the money's spent Hey and play it off to her friends Like it was an argument Win or lose That's the way you play life's game If you play it wrong Then you're the one to blame If I can choose I would make a change But it's the same old song But everybody change It's a bad game, it's a bad game yeah To the mothers watching over You know the game ain't fair Sometimes you can't change their mind So all you got is prayer Win or lose That's the way you play life's game If you play it wrong Then you're the one to blame If I can choose I would make a change But it's the same old song But everybody change (with ad-libs till end) If you try to be the man As a child you gotta raise Don't let nobody put you in the grave Cause the money ain't worth you losing you life Or doing time Take a look at your friends the pen They probably got locked and then died For a steady drug crime Listen I ain't got that much time Only four minutes to sing to you But I hope and pray that you will listen When I try to school you Bad game, bad game Nobody wins But everybody change ---------------------------------- Source: Ghettofabulous98@hotmail.com [Top][Pop/Rap/R and B Page]
