Nas, Cordae, Freddie Gibbs - Life is Like a Dice Game lyrics

Yo, yeah it's that (Hit-Boy)
It's that yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah it's the N-A-S, yes

I wake up every morning
Thinkin' what we gonna do today
(What we gonna do today)
There's gotta be a better way
(Gotta be a better way)
To maintain is the price of fame
Life is like a dice game
To maintain is the price of fame
Life is like a dice game
To maintain in the p check me out, listen, uh

Life's a gamble, although the
Stakеs are heightenеd, i can handle
Any darkness that tries to penetrate
My light is ample set the right example
My dark dreams are divine
I live life on this earth
To complete what's assigned
My mission given
I was birthed the same year as It Was Written
I been fasting intermittent to
Strengthen my intuition
But fuck, and sometimes, shit
You run out of luck but how my dice roll
From Domino's to Maestro's
To completin' life goals? My price rose
As soon as I decided to
Never ever be misguided
I know niggas that's indicted from
The shit they confided
With they best friends until they
Seen that paperwork writin' life's a bitch
Disconnection is the price of bliss
Though elation often leads to
Paths of righteousness
I confess, a nigga woke up feeling blessed
No stress with the freedom
To express but shit, what's next?

I wake up every morning
Thinkin' what I'm bout to do today
(What I'm bout to do today)
There's gotta be a better way ay
To maintain the price of fame
Life is like a dice game
Hey hey hey life is like a dice game
(yeah, yeah) hey hey hey hey hey hey
(You know what I'm sayin'?)

You know what I'm sayin', life is like a
You know what I'm sayin', a dice game
But, you know I'm sayin'
I, you know I don't gamble
You dig what I'm sayin'?
I'd rather spend my money on stuff, you know
That-that-that-that pleasures me
My pleasure, you know?
Liquor, women, weed! (Kane, yo)

I started out
Hundred fifty dime bags in mama's house
Makin' five hundred a week
Thinkin' bout dropping out
Sold dope in front of my brother
But he a doctor now fuck this weed shit
Greg showed me just what that rock about
(Skrrt)
Whip gang, I got a thing for cooking crack
Mane fuckin' off a dub on them
Strippers, I'll make it back, mane
Feds with the IRS on me
They sent the tax mane streets code
Ain't nothing cutthroat like the rap game
(Like the rap game)
Do you wanna be in it? Wanna be sinnin'? Uh
(yeah)
Fuck niggas façade, wanna be winnin', uh
(Wanna be winnin')
I said fuck being famous from the beginning
Big Rabbit
Instagram wanna ban me for posting pictures

So I wake up every morning
Thinkin' what I'm gonna do today (Do today)
There's gotta be a better way
They keep changing the price of 'cane
Life is like a dice game
I wake up, hit the car lot
Think of getting something new today
(Something new today)
The Aston Martin blue today
These niggas trippin' so I
Ride with that thing
Life is like a dice game
I wake up every morning
Thinkin' what we gonna do today
(What we gonna do today)
There's gotta be a better way
(Gotta be a better way)
To maintain is the price of fame
Life is like a dice game
To maintain is the price of fame
Life is like a dice game yeah

I never knock a brother
I'm anti-jail for real
Smooth criminal skill locked in
A human flesh shield
Watchin' niggas get rich beside me
Pushin' a fly V while me
Up in the passenger seat
But I see me as Haile Selassie in my kingdom
Sippin' Asti Spumante, driftin'
Reality kicks in
I need the papes to start clickin'
Got a connect out in Richmond
E'ry nigga in the fam will pitch in
It's on, word is bond
That's my name, Big Nas, all-wise to civilize
From the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth
Peace to my son and thanks to the birth
Of Destiny, that's her name
It's goin' on, you know my name
Big Nas in the house y'all
On the freestyle tip
When I finish this shit
It's sure to be a hit
This original recording hit the
Street 'round '93
Was just a leak, the verse was incomplete
Reconstructed the beat
So we can fuck up the street
Back to the future, patch up the bloopers
Match up the cadence with the
Back in the day shit
A blast when Nasty Nas was savvier
Don't act surprised
This ain't for advertise or showing off
I blast for mine life is a dice roll
There's money on the ground
What's gon' happen is gon' happen
It's a gamble all around

I wake up every morning
Thinkin' what we gonna do today
(What we gonna do today)
There's gotta be a better way
To maintain is the price of fame
Life is like a dice game (yeah, uh)
To maintain is the price of fame
Life is like a dice game
Life is like a dice game
