JAY RUKAS - Life Gamble lyrics
[JAY RUKAS - Life Gamble lyrics]
I'm not your average fella or
Your hood bandit street dweller
That's selling dope just to stack cheddar
Grandmama thinks that cause my pants sagging
I'mma be influenced by all
Of them gang banger
I'm not trynna get caught up in that category
Tell my kids a story about a
Brother named Cory who got shot
It's that stereotype train of thought
More often then not
Hip-Hop's got veins popping out my cranium
Have them looking like Spontaneum
About to blow up just like an Arabian
I'm going Super Sayian, what you saying
Cause I ain't playing
This game of life is filled
With snakes and fakes
Gotta look straight, no swerving
Trynna get that higher learning
By reading facts
The rest of y'all living your
Life in white and black
Give them some color like NBC
Got them reporting me daily like I'm on CTV
But they watching me through the eagle eye
CBS who's the next damsel in distress?
Cause the villains are slipping
Going to prison, i ain't tripping
I keep my distance from the trouble
Ain't trynna break down like
Minerals and rubble so come huddle up
Skip class like double dutch
Remember the days I had to
Hustle if I wanted lunch
Global grinding through the rhyming
I wasn't seeing the green
I had to get my optics
Focused, my eyes were distorted
Out of order sorta like the soda machine
High-beams beaming, down the road of success
I peeped the address
Atlantic division is what I rep
I want those Grammies and Junos
Kicking it out in Europe
Counting all those Euros
Directing the scenery, like Robert De Niro
I ain't lacking knowledge
So call me knowingly
Negus think I sleep, I never sleep
Cause when I have my eyes closed
I'm always looking through my
Third eye optical
Hammer throw just like a game of Mario
Paint the picture in your head
Call yourself a young Vincent van Gogh
No Mona Lisa, but my life's a motion picture
And I thought I could just, kick it with ya
Life a game, so I'm gambling
Any beat like this I'mma manhandle it
Throw me the dice, watch me body
It just like a fight, just like a fight
Your hood bandit street dweller
That's selling dope just to stack cheddar
Grandmama thinks that cause my pants sagging
I'mma be influenced by all
Of them gang banger
I'm not trynna get caught up in that category
Tell my kids a story about a
Brother named Cory who got shot
It's that stereotype train of thought
More often then not
Hip-Hop's got veins popping out my cranium
Have them looking like Spontaneum
About to blow up just like an Arabian
I'm going Super Sayian, what you saying
Cause I ain't playing
This game of life is filled
With snakes and fakes
Gotta look straight, no swerving
Trynna get that higher learning
By reading facts
The rest of y'all living your
Life in white and black
Give them some color like NBC
Got them reporting me daily like I'm on CTV
