Testo The Game - Chico DeBarge
Testo della canzone The Game (Chico DeBarge), tratta dall'album The Game
Rollin' down the highway
With a trunk full of work
I just lost my job
Didn't want to be a mailroom clerk
Besides it didn't pay but dimes
And the boss had a disrespectful mouth
If I wasn't on parole
I would have knocked the motherfucker out
So I'm driving
Gotta get me some fast cash
Ain't tryin' to hurt nobody
Mama, maybe it's wrong
But I gotta get the money
It's a must have
If I get caught I'll go back to jail
With no bail
Aye, it's the risk that I'm takin'
I'm for real, so I ain't fakin'
It's the life I choose
Win or lose
That's the way you play life's game
If you play it wrong
Then you're the one to blame
If I could choose
I would make a change
But it's the same old song
That everybody sings
Now I'm my own boss
And I ain't got no friction
Cause I'm a bootleg pharmacist
You don't need no prescription
Got a clientele that's a mile long
Tryin' to get the dough and retire
Cause if I stand it too long
The fed's gonna set my ass on fire
And if they come
Gotta hold court in the streets
And one of three things will happen
I get away, get the chair or die cappin'
And if they catch me right and I can't fight
I'll go back to prison
And like my mama say
You can't always bust your gun
Chico, sometimes you gotta run
All the odds are against me
Cause I'm already a felon
I'll probably die this time in jail
Cause I ain't doing no tellin'
I'll probably lose the girl that I love
She'll turn her back once the money's spent
And play it off to her friends
Like it was a hot argument
It's a bad game, yeah, yeah
It's a bad game, yeah, yeah
It's a bad game, yeah, yeah
To the mothers watching over
You know this game ain't fair
Sometimes they can't change their mind
So all you got is prayer
If you're tryin' to be a man
And a child you gotta raise
Don't let nobody put you in the grave
Cause some money ain't worth losing your life
Or doing time
Take a look at your friends in the pen
They probably got high and been dyin' for
For a petty drug crime
Listen, I ain't got that much time
Only four minutes to sing to you
But I hope and pray that you will listen
While I try to school you
Bad game, bad game
Nobody wins but everybody sings
