[Verse 1: QuESt]
Play the cards
I could give a f** about an A&R
Can I give a damn about who you say you are?
I'm in a place where I always gotta face the odds
Only thing a n***a gotta chase is God
Dough comes too but the race is hard
So little n***as trying to get it but you think you are
Better be ready for the day when the cake is carved
Punk a** n***as I pray for y'all
Still got heart when the ace is drawn
But when the faith gets on is when the hate gets on
And automatically you looking to embrase upon
A new plateau, a**hole
Running from the world when the odds turn
But I'mma get it how I really wanna I get it
Committed man
Do you think I give a damn about what y'all earn?
Look, when the stacks go boom
Lights go out in a blacked out room
Know a lotta people that will back out soon
But I gotta keep it going through the stacks I groom
So the 'Rari zooms
Perseverance, and it hurts to say I never lack these moves
Rode this cycle like a plastic spoon
And then I bounce right back like a mattress do
[Hook:]
That's cool
Do it on your own with a little bit of help from your n***as back home
And gamble till you win
That's what I was told
That's cool
Do it on your own with a little bit of help from your n***as back home
And [Sung:]gamble till you win
[Hook: QuESt]
They want me to follow
The way that they do it
All the time
But for me that ain't my motto
I'm taking my chances
Give me mine or get the f** out the way now
I'm doing what I want to
Till the end it's just the way I was brought up
Put it all on the line every time
And gamble till you win
And I'm a motherf**ing...
[Verse 2: QuESt]
Gambler, never ever really been an amateur
Pro sh**, f** about a rambler
I do action, what you think I'm standing for? (What else?)
N-E-A-T-O, know that
My sack, k** a hater
Uh, hold that
Came too far, no time to go back
Gotta keep it going for the prize, no wrap
Notice how my gold is greatness
Cynical to break this lyrical contagiousess? (Oh my god)
The toll is shaking, pitiful acquaintances is a cold awakening
Lock safe, no way you breaking it
Stay true when the odds turn
And I'mma get it how I really wanna I get it
Committed man
Do you think I give a damn about what y'all earn?
Look, when they dish that sh**
New dance track or a whack pop hit
Be the first one that'll tell them stop it
Homie, know you got tricks will cannot sits
I'm a grown man, man, that's word to my momma
Compromise but never die for the honour
Seen too many dreams deferred in a moment
It's sad to see how many G's that condone it
[Hook:]
That's cool
Do it on your own with a little bit of help from your n***as back home
And gamble till you win
That's what I was told
That's cool

I'm doing what I want to
Till the end it's just the way I was brought up
Put it all on the line every time
And gamble till you win
And I'm a motherf**ing...

Slim to none but I'mma stand my guard

[Verse 3: QuESt]
Yeah, never been the type to allow myself to believe the hype
Always gotta know what I see is right
[Couldn't formulate it??] to appease the mic
Gotta keep it G to receive the light
I had a dream that I be in a place, surrounds me young n***as from my circle
Too many people around who when I hurt you disperse you
And throw you in a ditch where nobody will search through
But
[Hook:]
That's cool
Do it on your own with a little bit of help from your n***as back home
