Dre Tajai - Life Is a Gamble

World around me changed
World around me changed
Yeah
The world around me changed
When I stopped feeling sorry for myself
As I understand the bitter hand
That almost all of us dealt
I took heed
Someone close to me
Felt the need for emotional grace
I told em' I mastered the automatic poker face
You could go at your own pace
Or go with the flow that's in state
I couldn't decipher what's right
Or tell you which one is wrong
My mind be playing tricks
This time I'm no longer that little kid
I got some tricks of my own
That little kid in me live on religiously
Through these songs
Yeah these raps are a time machine
I'm bout to revisit
These raps like a time machine
Plus a lottery ticket
I'm bout to cash in
Back then
They were asking
About hourly wages
Power these stages
With no trace of a generator
I am a energy agent
For real
The general of a generation
The energy source is sacred
Of course I'm ancient
Nah you can't get rid of me
You cant get sick of me
If you do bitch you better be faking
Better be mistaken
Better be tasteless
For better or worse you better be
Racist
You don't get a say in who gon'
Understand you
I understandably ramble
Life is so simple they say
They say
You won't get to play
If you don't take you a gamble
So I'm gon' take me one today
I rep a one man army
Combating my rivals
Keeping allies in check
They can be just as much of a threat to harm me
This industry is alarming
I'm starting to put my foot on it's neck
M final step is a first impression
My heart invested
To the point I'll wait forever
If my endeavor still wait for perfection
Correction
My perception of being perfect
Was birthed from feeling inadequate
At the other end of the spectrum
Forget it
It manifest if you let it
Godspeed
Don't place me in no top three
Or top two
I'm not to
Sound too conceited y'all got me
Fucked up
I torch you
Of course you
Hate a nigga like a nazi
Ay tough luck
Or horseshoe more like horse shit
Your raps incompetent
Are you confident enough to forfeit
I used to be self conscious
Now I'm self confident enough not to force it
I should've known we get one calling
I'm dialed in if life is a gamble
Then bitch I'm all in
No falling for the instant gratification
A risk worth taking
Reward may be worth waiting for
You don't get a say in who gon'
Understand you
I understandably ramble
Life is so simple they say
They say
You won't get to play
If you don't take you a gamble
So I'm gon' take me one today
