[Intro] What I learned from the dope game [Verse 1] If I learned one thing 'bout the dope game Put sh** pay now, n***a, even if you ridin' with 'em And when they learn what you got in your couch at the spot That how lame n***as get shot If I learned one thing, about the dope game It's n***as ain't sh** and b**hes ain't neither Real n***a never gon' rat And never gon' leave without a lever What I learned from the dope game Don't mix weed, c**aine, they ain't with you for the smoke, man Get you an elbow of head bands, take it to the head, man f** what all them s**er n***as said What I learned from the dope game Trust no n***a no time, even when a homeboy co-sign So he say he got a coke line, don't be talkin' like that on your line That how you get more time What I learned from the dope game With big risk, low reward though, the more you get away, the more, you can afford more Dress up like you goin' to award shows But if you live by the sword, dyin' by it, better know it What I learned 'bout the dope game Is how to take a lil of that and turn it into somethin' You could bestow another woman Start hustling the spring, by the summer, you'd be stuntin' Sheesh, get your baby and your baby mama on some money, sh** die Louis, twelve hunnid What I learned from the dope game If you trappin', make it happen And word never overrule action [Hook] What I learned from the dope game is what I know What I learn what I know What I learned from the dope game that what I know That what I learn what I know [Verse 2] What I learned from the dope game We recognise, never talk about it Like how to make a million out of crack house No, and you ain't need to know that 'Cause you probably been in jail, you don't wanna go back And jail givin' years like the number on the throwback But you already know that What I learned 'bout the dope game sh**, quite sober You don't never trap without an umbrella And don't believe the judge can try and tell you what you give him If he ain't got no money then all he said is, "I'm finna" What I learned 'bout the dope game Take sh** from no n***a And never go to sleep around a stripper When n***as come to get you, the bullet miss you, it whistle n***a, go get n***a the issue What I learned 'bout the dope game Hard work ain't God work When you feed your family off of hard work Try to go to church, keep God first Stray bullet put you in a hearse What I learned 'bout the dope game A n***a gon' talk If it ain't a bank roll, take a walk And give a damn what a s**er n***a thought f** around, get knocked off What I learned 'bout the dope game Broken life, broken home A generation full of rollin' stones Even though I'm grown Wait for the n***a still got it goin' on [Hook] What I learned from the dope game is what I know What I learn what I know What I learned from the dope game that what I know That what I learn what I know What I learned from the dope game
