|
Rollin' down the highway |
|
With a trunkful of work |
|
I just lost my job |
|
Didn't wanna be a mailroom clerk |
|
Besides it didn't pay but dimes |
|
And the boss had a disrespectful mouth |
|
If I wasn't on parole |
|
I would've knocked the motherfucker out |
|
So I'm drivin', gotta get me some fast cash |
|
Ain't tryin' to hurt nobody |
|
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 |
|
It's the risk that I'm takin' |
|
I'm convinced so, ain't fakin' |
|
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 that everybody shame |
|
Now, I'm my own boss |
|
And I ain't got no friction |
|
'Coz I'm a bootleg pharmacist |
|
You don't need no prescription |
|
[Incomprehensible] that's my law |
|
Tryin' to get the dough and retire |
|
'Coz if I stay in it too long |
|
The Feds 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 they catch me right |
|
And I can't fight, I go back to prison |
|
And like my mama say, you can't always bust your gun |
|
She goes 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 that everybody shame |
|
All the odds are against me |
|
'Coz I'm already a felon |
|
I'd probably die this time in jail |
|
'Coz I ain't doin' no tellin' |
|
I'll probably lose the girl that I love |
|
She'll turn her back once the money's spent |
|
And play it off to her friends |
|
Like it was a heated argument |
|
Win or lose, that's the way you play life's game |
|
And you're the one to blame |
|
If I can choose I would make a change |
|
And everybody shame |
|
Bad game, it's a bad game, yeah |
|
It's a bad game, yeah, yeah |
|
It's a bad game, yeah, yeah, yeah |
|
To the mother who's 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 |
|
Then you're the one to blame |
|
If I can choose I would make a change |
|
That everybody shame |
|
Win or lose, that's the way you play life's game |
|
Listen, I ain't got that much time |
|
Only four minutes to sing to you |
|
But I hope and pray that you will listen |
|
While I try to school you |
|
Bad game, bad game |
|
Nobody wins |
|
That everybody shame |
