E-40 - Blessed By the Game lyrics
[E-40 - Blessed By the Game lyrics]
It's a game of cat-and-mouse in the Bay
Everybody know where everybody stay
Somebody didn't make it to the house
Somebody got shot in they mouth
Gotta keep you a thumper, on the tuck
On the under can't be shinin' too flossy
They'll turn you into a body
Can't be stuntin' too often
They'll turn your car to a coffin
Have you coughin' up blood while
You was smokin' your bud
And sippin' your barre, or should I say lean
Him and his ho, now it's a crime scene
I'm a master of reality
Rap about good times and casualties…UH!
From the bottom, and I ain't ever changed
From broke to having my change, mayne
Get up and get it, don't always place blame
I've been blessed by the game (The game)
From the bottom, and I ain't ever changed
From broke to having my change, mayne
Get up and get it, don't always place blame
I've been blessed by the game (The game)
This morning, the Lord tapped on my head
Said "If it wasn't for me, you would be dead"
Got up out my bed
Got on my knees and thanked Him
I was hecka scared, it was cloudy and rainy
When it come to communication
You gotta be smart
Put your pride to the side
And have a heart-to heart
With your family and folks
Your friends and your foes
Life can be short or taller
Than a stripper pole
I'ma get my shit together, bruh, I promise
I betcha
I'm slappin' E-40, don't shoot the messenger
Pack a MAC or a 40 just in case they test ya
Watch out for the Porky, pigs
They'll arrest ya some crooked, corrupted
Attitude like "Fuck it"
Some do they job and care about the public
I'm a master of reality
Rap about good times and casualties…BIATCH!
From the bottom, and I ain't ever changed
From broke to having my change, mayne
Get up and get it, don't always place blame
I've been blessed by the game (The game)
From the bottom, and I ain't ever changed
From broke to having my change, mayne
Get up and get it, don't always place blame
I've been blessed by the game (The game)
Techniques and tactics, mammoth mathematics
Runnin' through paper like it's a laxative
Since I toddler, valued a dollar, ya hear me?
I'm the same the dude, I ain't an impostor
Ya feel me? When you get on your feet
Don't forget your peeps
'Cause they the ones that hold a
Nigga down in the streets
When it's all said and done my
Testimony ain't gon' be phony
Sometimes I lose count on how
Many people owe me money
Forget about it, hustla
Just love 'em and keep it pushin'
Never know when you gon' need a brother
We hoodlum
Boss, not a sucker, I love my loved ones
We folks
My bloods and my cousins grew up together
So dope
From the bottom, and I ain't ever changed
From broke to having my change, mayne
Get up and get it, don't always place blame
I've been blessed by the game (The game)
From the bottom, and I ain't ever changed
From broke to having my change, mayne
Get up and get it, don't always place blame
I've been blessed by the game (The game) , UH
Everybody know where everybody stay
Somebody didn't make it to the house
Somebody got shot in they mouth
Gotta keep you a thumper, on the tuck
