This foolish game is easy
When it's all that you've got
This foolish little game
It's so easy
And it gets pretty hot
Whether you like it or not

Hey, I'm tired
Tired of running the hustle
So tired, tired, tired, tired of this struggle
And if there was a better way well I missed it
[?] I ain't gifted

Here we go deep down again
My shoulders are aching from what I've been lifting
Here we go deep down again
Now you know, brother, I'm not without sin

Come on, now

Oh well, that's tough luck son
Out here on the street
Better get yourself together
'Cus nothing is free
You know what they say
It's a hard hard road this way
This foolish game is easy
When it's all that you've got
