How the Game Goes

Yeah, ayy, this bitch so soulful, Mark, real talk

Yeah, like

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

Damn, where do the pain go?

Blood on my clothes, I just seen a n***a brain blow

Trapped in a storm with no umbrella or raincoat

Ain't no pot of gold at the end of these rainbows

I'm like, damn, where do the pain go?

Blood on my clothes, I just seen a n***a brain blow

Trapped in a storm with no umbrella or raincoat

Ain't no pot of gold at the end of these rainbows

I can't be no burden to my mama or no bitch in my hood

Punchin' on me till I cry, my big cousin in Wood

Now I ain't even know no better, they just did what they could

Took a payment for the jungle, now I'm up to no good

Shit, I'm lucky I'm alive, let me knock on some wood

Saw a murder age five, n***a drop where I stood

Mama ran out screamin', but them bullets ain't for me

Dealin' with post-traumatic stress since elementary

A paranoid child, tryin' to shake the memories

I never had presents waitin' underneath the tree

M&M, DuPont jackets in the rain, cold

Circulatin' 'round my crib 'cause we shared the same clothes

Prayin' for the gold at the end of rainbows

My cousin been in prison since beepers and Kangol

Undercover bought a brick from him wearin' plain clothes

Had to learn the hard way, guess that's how the game go

I'm like, damn, where do the pain go?

Blood on my clothes, I just seen a n***a brain blow

Trapped in a storm with no umbrella or raincoat

Ain't no pot of gold at the end of these rainbows

I'm like, damn, where do the pain go?

Blood on my clothes, I just seen a n***a brain blow

Trapped in a storm with no umbrella or raincoat

Ain't no pot of gold at the end of these rainbows

I can't be no burden to my mama or no bitch in my hood

Late nights, stealin' bikes with my brother Wewood

Start fights, rollin' dice, never listen to advice

Mama talkin' 'bout Christ and how to live life right

Prayin' if we ain't home before the street lights

Caught up in the struggle, tryin' to get our cheese

But I'm not the only one who's in trouble

I'm the only one who's in trouble
