Play Your Cards Right

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
