Kasino - Life is a Gamble слова песни
Yeah, I`m about to fill you all in on some things ya know what I`m sayinSee what you don`t know aint nothin but one big gambleIt`s like a big ol` roulette wheel you know what I`m sayinBut peep thisI`m abut to put you all up on this storyIt`s about this youngsterStrugglin, strivin, doing what he thought had to be doneSo Check this out (Verse 1)He was only a youngsterStrapped between two foundationsFather was a ministerMother worked for the board of educationHe had the will to do right but peer pressure took his gripA long trip down that dirty road he`s about to flipSchool became unimportant so he dropped outStarted following the wrong influences, he can`t stop nowCaught up in the hustlin, servin small time at first Started buyin jewels tryin to prove his self workHis mom could only hang her head and pray for a changeDreadin the call that would say they found her son`s remainsYou could see it in him, million dollar signs in his eyesHis office was the drive, his bank was the rideRun-ins with the police of course you knew that would comeHe bought a strap, that`s another youngster with a gunSo now I guess this boy think he tough rightHe had some words with somebody, pulled his heater last nightI guess he feels he gotta do what he gotta doDifferent situations call for different actions dudeI hope for the bestFor his moms sakeIt would be a shame to see another youngster put in an early grave(Chorus)Life is a gambleWe don`t know what tomorrow may bringLife is a gambleCould today be the last we seeLife is a gambleI`ve got to do the things that must be doneLife is a gambleCuz I have responsibility(Verse 2)He arises from his sleep unaware of the gal layin next to himAll that bumpin last night got his mind ruinedStill persuing the ultimate dream of getting his money rightAt anyone`s expense on any given day or nightChecks his pager to see what`s popping on his blockJust some pennies but his boy informs him of a plotHere`s the schemeTake money from an institutionWe can get major bread in 20 seconds, just listen to meYou`ll drive the car and I`ll run on inWhen I come out we`ll have big wood to spend daddyAight he`s all for it, thinking of his kidsIt`s been a drought for a minute so he`s gotta handle his buiz.At the spot, his boy runs in ,demands the bread"Give me all the loot unless you want this teller dead"Out the door, to the car, hit it, then they speed offUnaware that the police ha already been keyed offAbout two miles down the street the cop slows inAll this led to a five year sentence in the pen.I guess god said "enough`s enough I`ll slow his role some,Give him a little time to see what type of man he`ll become"(Chorus)(Verse 3)Release date, a long bus ride homeAfter four and a half long years a lot of his homies are goneEither dead or in jail but they aint there no morei guess it`s true, we ?? what we sawHe`s got a little brother workin on his album nowGets to the crib, calls him up, "hey what`s up pal""Ya headin to the studio, well aight then""Give me an hour to get my self together, I`ll slide in"He had all this talent but never channeled itCould he go a starightened arrow or could he handle itHis decisionHis brother asked him to drop a verseSees his boy, "damn I see you`re still puttin in work"The rest is history as they say "my oh my this kid has came along way"God decided he didn`t have to die for his mistakesJust suffer a bit, to get his mind straightI guess some gamblers are worth it if in the endThe big picture comes into focus, so you can winThis kid has been blessed, in a major wayThe trip is, I see him in the mirror everyday(Chorus) X 2
