When you started in Seattle
You were barely just a kid
I think you learned how to dope in Texas
Just like everybody did
When you came out to the South Bronx
You were anything but clean
The Babe had the number 3
So you tempted fate and settled on

Some things don't come down to luck
It's just the way that you add it up

You didn't lack the numbers
Or the talent or the drive
But sometimes we all need just a little more
To make us feel alive
And you were sure that you wouldn't get caught
Sneaking and serpantine
Detection is for losers
And losers just don't hang out with

Some things don't come down to luck
It's just the way that you add it up

Sometimes I wonder what I'd do
If I had the chance to stand inside your spikes and shoes
It didn't help when your talents dwindled
It didn't help when your body failed
It didn't help when all your handlers
Were facing time in jail
It might've helped if you showed remorse
But you know don't know what that means
Contrition is for losers
Until you lose it all, unlucky like

Some things don't come down to luck
It's just way that you add it up

Some things don't come down to luck
It's the way that you add it up
