Charge it to the Game

Yeah Yeah You know I'm putting in that ten thousand hours nigga Time to separate the real from the perpetrators Time to myself you know this the promo Always remember When they see you winning They praying on you to lose Yeah The road to be respected in this rap game is no joke Like crickets at the Apollo, toughest pill you can swallow Premonitions bout being with freaky bitches and models While sipping Moscato feeling like I went and hit the lotto I Tried to be humble and never provoke the bravado See it's a cold game You gotta hope the play is always up in yo favor if you go in blowing the console Cuz it just might cost you I question if my dreams is worth risking it all Like is the price tag of fame worth swiping my card If it is Charge it to the game I'm forever debited to something that I acclaim Maintaining my issues through theses tragedies and things Chi town where it's windy so you bound to catch some rain Gunshots pour like severe thunderstorms So I wade in the water like the spirit of my ancestor Negros Them couple youngins' see me as the neighborhood hero As long they know that this my alternate ego Cuz the real me is still one of the people Just giving a glimpse of richer life through the peephole My nephew, singing my song black like he mean it Powerful affirmations he too young to know the meanings Just a random thought, he really like my biggest fan One day when he ask me, I tell him so he understand For real Know some real niggas that go and do a lot for me Know a couple niggas think I want some clout from em I'm just tryna make a play like I'm route running They see food in the tank, deals is not coming Layaway the head prices for when we out hunting The moment she left me I swear I felt like David Ruffin At twenty one my mama told me put yourself first Be cautious of women tryna get you to bed first But her ass soft, I see why my head hurt I got this pool full of dreams I'm going head first My team loyalty reflective of my self work Cuz your net worth a product of your network It's really just getting easy at this point Like the games feel like practice Dudes testing my patience really blasphemy Like I can't make one call and have them real niggas come blast for me I hate to see another casualty With your face being on that casual tee So don't switch yo act on me Gave your more than half of me I kept shit a hunnit cuz I'm on point with the accuracy That's why the only niggas that's with me that's ones that clap for me If you take the charge, I vow to replace the battery Even when I'm not on rap niggas give dap to me Even when my songs don't slap niggas is after me They can give a f*ck about seeing a nigga happily sound Yeah That's my momma told me son be careful of them companies you keeping around Real over fake Loyalty over love Make sure you see who in it for you
