E-40, Mike Marshall - Dose of Game lyrics

We need a dose of game 40, come speak to us

This music feels good like the old school
Even if you young
One day you gon' be old school
Used to be a Thundercat
That's the way he lived
'Til he had his first daughter
'til he had his first kid

Life'll slow you down when
You got some obligations
Gotta get a job, gotta get a occupation
Gotta stay alive and survive through the woes
Get your shit together
Try to figure out your goals

You ain't never been a sucker
You ain't never been a buster
You would take the shirt off of your
Back and give it to another
You could get caught up in
Some sucka shit hella petty
Even if you cool with hella
Niggas in your city

They say a hard head make a soft ass
And you could learn in the future
What you did in your past
Play the game for what it's worth
Stay prayed up and put the good Lord first

We go through ups and downs, yeah
Life is topsy turvy
Some days are happy, lately I feel tore down
We need a dose of game
Come and let 40 lace you
We need the truth, so 40, come speak to us
Man

Uh, it's okay to be a student
Of the game and ask questions
Life lessons is a blessing
Congregatin' with your brethrens
Everywhere that you go
Pray before you enter the door
Trust me, it works
'cause I done been through it before

Seeded and breeded in Vallejo where it
Was meant for us to fail
Don't wanna see any W's
All they wanna see is L's
You could be an attorney instead of
Hauled out on a gurney
Or a small business owner
Control your destiny and journey

This world is full of hatred and
This world is full of love
When I die, don't wanna see no crows
Just some doves
Rappers get killed in they city or
Leaving out of the club
Gotta keep the faith and give
Your loved ones some hugs

The only way to predict the
Future is to create it believe in yourself
That's what the prophets told David
Keep the blood of Jesus
Tell the devil he's a lie
Look him in the eye just like a stye (A stye)

We go through ups and downs, yeah
Life is topsy turvy
Some days are happy, lately, I feel tore down
We need a dose of game
Come and let 40 lace you
We need the truth, so 40, come speak to us
Man

Oh, speak to us, man, we gotta keep smiling
Speak to us, man, we gotta keep shining
I know you heard it before
But E-40, speak to us, man
Life can get crazy
It's a cold game, shit could get mainey
Cold, cold game, 40, preach to us, man
We need relief and soon
I hope somebody's listening, ayy, oh

We go through ups and downs, yeah
Life is topsy turvy
Some days are happy, lately I feel tore down
We need a dose of game
Come and let 40 lace you
We need the truth, so 40, come speak to us
Man
