Game

sittin here all alone in my cell, thinkin about my past
tired of always wearin a fake smile like a halloween mask
but thats all part of the game for the life i chose
always tryin to look important wearin expensive clothes
in the grand scheme of things none of it really matters
cause once the cuffs go on thats when your whole world shatters
an your forced to ask yourself was it all really worth while
to lose everything you ever loved just to live a lavish lifestyle

(chorus)
the moneys quick an easy but it comes at a price
are you willin to take the risk an roll the dice
who wants to play tough guy sayin im loyal to the game
when the only thing you end up with is heartache an shame
(chorus)

let me tell you a little secret, they're gonna catch you eventually
then youll be torn away from all of your family
now they gotta see you through the glass an talk on a phone
askin how this came to be when your the product of a  happy home
how can you explain that the game just kept callin your name
you were never good at anything so you chose street fame
lookin back on it all now you feel like it never got you anywhere
cause if you were to die today the streets wouldnt really care

(chorus)

they say that dead men tell no tales but ima leave mine
i just hope it reaches people before they run outta time
some people think the streets have a code of honour, let me set the record straight
your best friend will stab you in the back as easy as he smiles in your face
thats all part of the rules to the game we chose to play
now heres somethin to think about for the rest of the day
you know theres only so many places for you to run an hide
if you do the calculations you'l see the odds arent on your side
