Play Your Cards Right Lyrics

Every thing's gon' be alright
If you play your cards right
Every thing's gon' be alrightIt's do or die, your looking through the eye of a revolver
I revolve around the world, a problem solver
Alter your ego and the way your walkin'
Talk to people, still I stay regalRead through the bullshit
Sometime to make peace, you need a full clip
Roll dice with niggas who got bricks at a good price
Talk shit, give good advice, rollin' through the hood rightIt's the good life, like T.I. said
Gettin' it, how could I not be fed
Get bread, get dough, get fed, get mo'
In the old school Lincoln, thinking I sit lowLet problems burn slow away
I yearn for the day that it won't go gray
Remember we were kings, back in the day
Still can be depending on the cards you playIf you play your cards right
Every thing's gon' be alright
If you play your cards right
Every thing's gon' be alrightI ain't playin' with a full deck

The government won't let me get a full check
I'm taxin' marks, I got more heart than clubs
The black spade, givin' 'em darker loveMake 'em strip like poker, poker mag in his face
You tried to smoke my ace
You know the stakes is high like the ace is
Get your squad face down like cards before they get a face liftYou get robbed, better yet jacked for diamonds
Leave you victim less, like Jack in 'Shining'
Blocked your bluff, now your respect is stolen
Took your chips, led my guys in Texas Hold 'EmRolled the strips of Vegas with money boss players
Stacey Adams of different flavors, we major
Gangstas and hustles, living movie star life
Dealt a bad hand but I played my cards rightIf you play your cards right
Every thing's gon' be alright
If you play your cards right
Every thing's gon' be alrightIf you play your cards right
Every thing's gon' be alright
If you play your cards right
Every thing's gon' be alrightEvery thing's gon' be alright
If you play your cards right
Every thing's gon' be alright
