[Intro: Skatterman]
Give your life to this game
Spend your life in this game
[Verse 1: Skatterman]
An underdog, underprivliged, held back
Either you sell raps, gangbang or sell crack
No other options, the ghetto's all about profit
The hood is all about coppin, the police can't really stop it
So fuck it, I'm head first
Jumped in, get bread first
Saw my life before I'm broke in this bitch, I'll be dead first
Take 2 to the head first, 5 for the feds first
But till then, I'm out here stacking in cackies and red shirts
With red eyes, and purple blue lips
A n***a getting high off 2 splifs
After I perchis 2 bricks, down here you buying, split it, whatever you buy, you get
Cause if not, rookys get knocked
They famlys end up finding they head
This is the concreet jungle, where young gorillas rumble
Motherfuckers will numb you, over powder
Take all your powder from you
And leave you leakin and shit
But that's how it get, when you knee deep in this shit
Life in the game
[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]
These streets, this code I live by
Mother's throat is [?] dry
My need is taking over, me, my kids, my wife
Bout life, I need to be humble
Can't skip or stumble
Fall, you go under, the streets will save no one
Me and my gun, help me
Told me there's only 1 way out, life in the game
[Verse 2: Snug Brim]
No question, Imma have my cake
Weather it's jotting these lines, or whippin something I bake
I'm hungry now, and ain't prepared to wait
Can't please my palms with that small change, I'll hustle for 40 years and a day
They hate, but they knew all along that Snug was fire
Keep a team of real connects, while your love expires
With dubs and wires, thought you'd be happy with that
A few good bitches I could fuck, but they dip in your stash
My dudes is big time, got big shine
Carey big 9s, on the quick grind
Please don't trip, I'm gon get mine
This ain't no sitcom, fuck how you feel
If rappin can't pay my bills, I'm on the strip where they flip dimes
How many zips? 5
Breakin them down, choppin them up
Hoes on the block supplying the cut
Made a thou and I'm up, I'm happy with a G today
In a week I'll be at 7, end of the month, I'm lookin at 28
[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]
These streets, this code I live by
Mother's throat is [?] dry
My need is taking over, me, my kids, my wife
Bout life, I need to be humble
Can't skip or stumble
Fall, you go under, the streets will save no one
Me and my gun, help me
Told me there's only 1 way out, life in the game
[Bridge: Krizz Kaliko]
Long as I know
It's life, I'm gon live another day
I know the sun will shine again
Sun will shine again
I travel down a long long road
I keep my head to the sky
I keep rising
I keep rising
[Verse 3: Skatterman and Snug Brim]
I gave my life to the game, what I get in return?
A 10 year sentence, and some gunpowder burned
Learn to tread the water softly, never smoke out of term
Listened closely while my OG showed me how to earn
I soked up the game, just enough to blow up the Cane
Put the rhyms on everything, I chose to blow up my name
Kept a quarter million in the safe, blow it on a chain
Lord help me if they cared, they'll have to blow out my brain
Fuck it
This ain't no small talk, no game, Cocaine
My n***as dieing, the block never broke, man
Been through the struggle, and hard hustle, it payed off
Slippin the double, and [?]
I give my life to these KC streets
I never sleep without my heater, and never shit where I eat
N***a, a true hero, n***a with gang ties
I ame at ya eyes, in my range, you get flamed, why
[Chorus: Krizz Kaliko]
These streets, this code I live by
Mother's throat is [?] dry
My need is taking over, me, my kids, my wife
Bout life, I need to be humble
Can't skip or stumble
Fall, you go under, the streets will save no one
Me and my gun, help me
Told me there's only 1 way out, life in the game
