I play the game with the cards dealt
Me against the house how you think I felt
Sitting in a box like I'm bout to melt
Set me up to lose then asked if i needed help
Saying that i change , you too scared just to be yourself
Remember nights in the trenches feeling like i lost myself
Remember days dead broke thinking I should off myself
Seen the money got attached , blessed man i caught myself
You see the money, clothes. and the car that i bought myself
Riding through the bronx , man a nigga really losing hope
Getting dirty money, tryna clean it ion got no soap
Living with these battle scars tryna find a way to cope
Got me cutting all these ties now they tryna find a rope
Feeling like a lost soul, trapped in a black hole
Taking all these drugs, i been moving away from the goal
I been down , I'm just tryna let em fans get to know
The struggles that made me grow, the pain i was healing slow
The highs i was feeling low, the yes when it was no
The bye to a new hello, the friend to a newer foe
Doing all these empty shows to riding in that new rolls
Sliding wit em new poles , hoodie on dubose
If you play your cards right, you can reach the lime light
Thinking when the time right, now is when the time right
Star ima shine bright, got me on the next flight
I left just to get right, comeback ima do right
The world to a new life, the top to a new height
The real ion do hype, this shit wasn't overnight
Had to get my dollars right, tell bro to send the kite
We gunna get lit tonight, remmy i dont do the sprite
The semi if they tryna fight, but its gonna be alright
Got my ops feeling tight, f*ck the hoes i need a wife
Pain all up in my eyes, the truth when it was a lie
Shit just really made wise, stand aside watch me rise
