Listen man, what you listenin' to? |
|
Pick a hand, any hand will do |
|
Then pick a card and listen hard |
|
And tell me which is God and which is not |
|
First up you got the Jack of spades |
|
Now this cat is like a jack of trades |
|
He'll fascinate you with his accolades |
|
And fabricate about the cash he's made |
|
Juggles stories like a balancing act |
|
No job - a brotha's too talented for that |
|
Gives just to get |
|
Watch his gimmicks and tricks cause Jack be nimble and Jack be quick |
|
Not just to jump a candle stick |
|
But in a jumpin' jack flash Jack will run a scandal quick |
|
No friends - even his fams holds back |
|
And every time he shows up they're like "Hit the road, Jack!" |
|
Now put him back in the deck |
|
Let me shuffle it |
|
Now cut the deck, let's see what you get |
|
Make sure the crowd has seen what it was |
|
Right now we're dealin' with the Queen of Clubs |
|
Steppin' out dressed to kill |
|
The name of the game is sex appeal |
|
She knows if she can get 'em to look |
|
Long and hard enough well then the brotha is hooked |
|
And once he's hooked then how much will he bend? |
|
The goal is to try find out how much will he spend |
|
It's not just that she needs more in her purse |
|
She's really just try'n to find out how much is she worth |
|
So every look, every glance means something |
|
I mean, if they want her that must mean she's something |
|
How else will she ever know? |
|
So every time they open up the club then she's just got to go |
|
You're probably wonderin' "What's this shiny thing?" |
|
This card here is for the Diamond King |
|
He's the one with all the shine and bling |
|
From rims to brims he rocks the finer things |
|
You can always see him step on the block |
|
He's got to show off and show all of the stuff that he's got |
|
It's needless how he teases the kids |
|
The kids think they have to bling like the Diamond King did |
|
And he says he's been "blessed" with his wealth |
|
But not to help others he just blesses his self |
|
Burns through money like fire through wood |
|
And only earns more money to acquire more goods |
|
He sits back as he looks at his rack- of clothes |
|
Hats and sneakers and jackets that match |
|
Chains and all his shiny things from the store |
|
And somehow it's not enough and so he's searching for more |
|
(Bridge) |
|
Alright folks, this is the part of the show |
|
Where you can leave now and grab a parting gift at the door |
|
For participating, but these cards came in a party of four |
|
And the last card hasn't been played it's only partially showin' |
|
The last card hasn't been played it's only partially showin' (Ohhhh) |
|
The last card hasn't been played it's only partially showin' (Yoooo) |
|
The last card hasn't been played it's only partially showin' (Noooo) |
|
The last card hasn't been played it's only partially showin' |
|

|
Listen man, what'chu listenin' to? |
|
Pick a hand, any hand will do |
|
Then pick a card and listen hard |
|
And tell me which is God and which is not |
|
You shouldn't have to think too hard |
|
To guess that the next card would be the King of hearts |
|
He's the one they look to to put things back together after things fall apart |
|
He's a specialist - |
|
Especially when it comes to getting inside of a heart and testin' it |
|
Messin' with all parameters |
|
Call examiners with X-ray machines - to Him they all are amateurs |
|
He knows the inner workings, searching |
|
The deep things of it like what it loves, then He's surfacing the real issues |
|
Such as how the heart feels about things like Him in particular |
|
And He labels it sin |
|
When the heart beats more for anything then it does for Him |
|
So next time your heart's racing |
|
Try replacing what you're chasing with Him and then embrace Him |
|
Takes the Spirit of God to do that - |
|
Make a man trade his spades and become a new Jack |
|
In fact after a cat's born a-gain |
|
A brotha' like little Jack'll warn a |
|
Sista like the Queen of Clubs |
|
That next to the King of Hearts these dudes in the Club are scrubs |
|
Yeah they tossin' her a couple of dubbs |
|
But Christ outdid them and outbid them all with His blood |
|
And He outshines the Diamond King |
|
No necklace - His essence is pure bling |
|
Ice ain't worth a thing |
|
Your shine don't hurt the King |
|
If I was you I'd start worshiping |
|
But watch out for the joker cause the joker plays wild |
|
With his pitchfork poker and his poker face smile |
|
But the dealer is a healer and he's also a pro |
|
A card shark at hard hearts and that's the end of the show |
