Jokers and Cinderellas at the ball of confusion The tension is high but n***a's is still fly Sophisticated puppets with political ties Organized crime, paperback shrine p**y with a price tag, money all the time Peels and a nightcap runnin' through your spine n***a's sippin' lean with a fiend for the high Addiction is a b**h but we thuggin' 'til the end And these b**hes love the glitz so I'm turnin' up the lights I'm rollin' out the whips, throwing the dice You can roll if you like, do what you feel You wanted a show? Just open your eyes This is life as you know it A few make it through, most of us won't survive A penny with a hole with no hope inside It's survival of the fittest And my n***a's went to dinner So we taking a bite And I made up my mind The whole world loves you when you're top of the line The hoes gon' want you when you're thuggin' it right But the feds gon' bust you if your money too husky man Trust me, devils want you livin' in fright Ain't that right?
