B.O.B. - Play For Keeps lyrics

How much must I repeat? We only play for keeps No time outs, no free throws No refs, no penalties No handouts, no pit stops No cheat codes, no sleep But the drinks are on us If you with it then pull up a seat When you're roaming through the jungle Talk is nothing, talk is cheap Time is money, money is power Power corrupts eventually, damn So what are the options? What are the choices left for me? What other rule there's left to break I guess my fate is a quest for me Man I'm a dog that ain't got no leash Man got a crib, it ain't got no lease Man got a flow that ain't got no brain But I still get brain, no hands no teeth Nowadays, n***as are k**as on the beat But where I was raised all of the k**as was down the street Better do your research Feeling like I fell out of the sky and landed feet first My squad go hard, my squad go concrete, watch my team work Hell yea, you can tell that the boy finna eat 'cause I took my seat first 3 course meal, full entrée, refills and I want my dessert So why not make a toast? Tomorrow could always be worse Now keep them bottles coming by the kiloliter And get that Ana off your chest, try to keep a clean shirt I'm so Grand Hustle, you ain't even in my league sir What's up with these nerds? They be out here, gettin' their salads tossed, gettin' their leaves turned The game just ain't what it used to be, the quality is blurred But a dying breed survives and a dynasty emerged So put it in the air if you entirely concur She call me hippie 'cause I live without any concern Up on this green earth, I'm on them green herbs Yeah yeah, yeah, I stay in them trees like the Keeblers And they say that I look higher in person As a kid I played in the yard, but now I'm astro turfing I lived the actual version of the fantasies they utter Made up stories of threesomes, they must just be seeing double Run for cover, here comes trouble My heart has grown cold so I gotta sleep with warmer covers Polar bear pimpin', solar flare spittin' Somebody tell 'em that this is professional stuntin', don't attempt it Society is twisted, they tryna take us under So when you see them folks, don't forget to warn a brother I made it out alive but still the battle is a struggle Veni, vidi, vici, I came, I saw, I conquered They mad 'cause I murdered the game And their name wasn't in the will You see, most of these haters are mad rappers who just still waiting on a deal And they jealous of my success 'cause my shoes cost more than a bill But I'll never sit down at another table unless I'm invited to the meal To some it's like conquering mountains, to me it's like stepping on hills Remember the images in your mirror can be bigger than they appear And the truth can be hard to swallow, depends on the size of the pill And by the looks it's about the time that you had your prescription filled My life, full length feature presentation There are no intermissions, no time for commercial breaking A fighter in his prime, a legend in the making There's no debating when you let your numbers make the statement How much must I repeat? We only play for keeps No time-outs, no free throws No refs, no penalties No handouts, no pit stops No cheat codes, no sleep But the drinks are on us If you with it then pull up a seat
