Pawns in the Game Lyrics

We party and bullshit gunshots rang out

Pop cris sip mo smoke weed hang out

Diss tracks Cadillacs iced out woodgrains

Spinning wheels big bank big budget blood stains

If we could only put our paper together and make a change

Destroy and rebuild one brick at a time rearrange

The way that we think we killing ourselves it's a shame

We got to wake up and realize that we're all pawns in the game

It's kind of funny how we get in this game thinking we got it made

Somehow the person we used to be just up and got away

All you hear is keeping it gangster and keep it real

And everybody is thugging and totting a piece of steel

How stupid did I feel when I found it wasn't about skill

But about the label you rep and how you market your deal

If I would've known from the beginning then I would've been winning

I would've been grinning wheels would've been spinning

We never stop to look at ourselves we blame our problems on other people

But look at us we're crooked ourselves

And we can't even get invited to nothing without the fighting and fussing

Police come with pepper spray cussing and handcuffing

Our little pride wont allow us to step aside or let it slide

And we forgot the meaning of let it ride

And they don't even care they just let us die

Just another dead rapper CD that you steady buy (you ready right)

We party and bullshit gunshots rang out

Pop cris sip mo smoke weed hang out

Diss tracks Cadillacs iced out woodgrains

Spinning wheels big bank big budget blood stains

If we could only put our paper together and make a change

Destroy and rebuild one brick at a time rearrange

The way that we think we killing ourselves it's a shame

We got to wake up and realize that we're all pawns in the game

I fall a victim to my demons myself I'm being honest

I needed guidance I used to turn to the weed and chronic

A product of my environment my gun I would polish

Instead of knowledge or opting for college I chose violence

But times changed they think I'm going soft I guess my stress guided me to Goodie Mobs thought process

And it was like Jerome standing in front of me with the mirror

I didn't like what I saw but now I see things clearer

And we're flirting with the wages of sin and mentally we're all locked up

And physically they're caging us in

Cause we're dying over a block dying over a street

While people in the gulf coast was dying for something to eat

I ain't here to preach about rap beef it's not that deep

Fuck your hot 16 shits not that sweet

Everybody say they grown ass men ready to fight the power

But we can't even fight our problems lurking within

We party and bullshit gunshots rang out

Pop cris sip mo smoke weed hang out

Diss tracks Cadillacs iced out woodgrains

Spinning wheels big bank big budget blood stains

If we could only put our paper together and make a change

Destroy and rebuild one brick at a time rearrange

The way that we think we killing ourselves it's a shame

We got to wake up and realize that we're all pawns in the game

Look at the neighborhood you grew up in and tell me the truth

It gets worse by the year everybody's ready to shoot

We can't disguise the fact we're dropping like flies

And that's the reason it hurts to look in my nephews eyes

Cause that bullet that hit his back left his legs without feeling

So hopefully he's going to walk again if it's God will

And it's killing a piece of my soul he's only 17 years old

So late night I'm up letting the tears roll

It's so ironic cause the place I played as a child

Was the same place he caught a bullet and laid on the ground

Now tell me who is it to blame for that

The little guy who pulled the trigger or the older cats who gave him the gat

The cycle continues from day to day I pray the Lord will make a way to take the hate Away from us

Breaking away is our common sense and intellect we respect disrespect

We our biggest threat and we don't even get it yet and it's a shame

We party and bullshit gunshots rang out

Pop cris sip mo smoke weed hang out

Diss tracks Cadillacs iced out woodgrains

Spinning wheels big bank big budget blood stains

If we could only put our paper together and make a change

Destroy and rebuild one brick at a time rearrange

The way that we think we killing ourselves it's a shame

We got to wake up and realize that we're all pawns in the game
