[Verse 1: Sheff G]
Look, I'm washin' my hands, enough with the sinnin'
Look, I been on a mission
Never gon' change the way am I livin'
But, my livin' conditions dead or in jail, I promise I won't
Huh, but that's what they want, I'm ridin' for gang, we right or wrong
Huh, you reap what you sow
I used to bag out from the store to the mornin', n***as barely been home
My n***as got bagged up livin' tough, we was young, in our minds we was grown
I live with the bad luck, tryna keep us from going, tryna keep us from growin', look
Had to step on the motions, save invest, play a game like chess, I'm the plug n***a
Need it, I got it, you hit me, I hit you, we eating, we gettin' cash
You tryna run on the plug, you just neglecting the feet of hand, huh
They bound to keep hatin' on you, don't let hate consumе you keep livin'
I said they gon' keep hatin' on you, n***a fuck it

[Chorus: Sheff G]
We used to pray for timеs like this, pray for times like this
Was putting in pain for times like this, pain for times like this
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, mm
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, look
We used to pray for times like this, pray for times like this
Was putting in pain for times like this, pain for times like this
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, mm
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, ​look
[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]
Look, n***as all upset at how I ball and stack
Never rat or told, I got a flawless rep
Day I went legit, was when I became a threat
No excuses for your failures after my success
We was both a tourist stupid for the set
Back-to-back violations over new arrests
Hunnid dollar quarter pieces, west side we invest
Chop 'em down to thirty racks and sell 'em off the step
When Crash hit the block, we used to hit the gate
All out of breath, talkin' bout how we gon' be rich as Jay
Roc A Fella was to Brooklyn we'll be to LA
What Blink was to 534, we'll be to the cage
Some n***as stay focused, some n***as stray
Some n***as show love and some n***as hate
One thing I did right, was keep gettin' paid
Less talking, more demonstratin', Hussle

[Chorus: Sheff G]
We used to pray for times like this, pray for times like this
Was putting in pain for times like this, pain for times like this
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, mm
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, fuck it look
[Outro: Sheff G]
Pray for times like this, pray for times like this
Pain for times like this, pain for times like this
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, mm
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game
Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, ​look
