PLAY WITH THE TIME '14

VERSE I
HALF MAN, HALF DEITY, UPPER ECHELON EMCEE
I CAN DO WITHOUT ALL THE FAME CUZ FAKE ASS MUPHUCAS ENVY
I JUST WANT THE LOVE, RESPECT, ALSO WANT THE MONEY
SUCCESS BE CALLIN' ME UP, TALKIN' BOUT "WHERE YOU AT?" I SAY I'M COMIN'
I GOT A FEW DUES I MUST PAY FIRST, BUT I GOTS TO PUT IN THE LABOR
END RESULT, I'M HOPIN' FO, NOT TO SEE NEIGHBORS FOR ACRES
I KNOW IT WON'T BE EASY AIN'T NO SILVER SPOON IN MY MOUFF
I'M STUCK IN A DEEP HOLE I DUG AND I'M STILL TRYNNA CLIMB MY WAY OUT.
AT TIMES I DIG A LITTLE BIT DEEPA, REALLY DON'T MEAN TA, UNDERACHEIVA
I'M WORKIN' WITH THE TOOLS THAT I GOT WHILE FIGHTIN' OFF THESE DEMONS
STAY SWINGIN' AT THESE CURVE BALLS, CUZ SOMETIMES LIFE JUST DON'T THROW STRAIGHT
SOMETIMES I WANNA PUT THE BAT DOWN, THINKIN' TO MYSELF, WON'T BE SHIT ANYWAY
THAT'S THE HOE WAY THO, SO I SNAP OUTTA THAT, REAL QUICK, REFOCUS
SHIFT THE WEIGHT ON MY SHOULDERS, LIVES A BITCH SO I BEND HER OVA
I'M IN TOO DEEP AT THIS POINT FOR ME TO BE GIVIN' UP
I'LL CONTINUE TO BE A SHARK IN THE WATER TILL I'M BELLY UP.

HOOK X4
LIVIN' MY LIFE EVERY DAY IS A GRIND, ONLY LIVE ONCE DON'T PLAY WITH THE TIME
PLAY WIT THE TIME AND YOU WILL GET PLAYED, TRYNNA CATCH UP FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS.

VERSE II
I SPEND MY TIME TRYNNA MAKE ENDS MEET
CUZ AINT NOBODY GONNA HELP ME EAT
IT'S LIKE I’M ALONE IN THESE COLD HARD STREETS
GOT THESE HOLES IN THE SHOES ON MY FEET
EVEN THO I GOT A PLACE TO SLEEP
MY DAILY LIVIN' AINT NOTHIN' SWEET
IT'S SO TRUE THAT WHAT WE SOW IS WHAT WE REAP
WHAT I DONE SOWED MUST’VE BEEN MESSY
IT AINT BAD CUZ A NIGGA CAN SEE
BEYOND THE EYES OF THOSE DISPISIN' ME
I KNOW ONE THING I GOT MY FAMILY
GOT ME A GIRL, STILL AN O.N.E
WE LIVE IN A WORLD THAT’S FULL OF DECEPTION
SOME PEOPLE SCARED OF MY COMPLEXION
GO THE OTHER WAY WHEN WE AT THE INTERSECTION
NIGGA BORN AND RAISED LIVIN' IN THE 8TH SECTION
KNOWN AS TEX SIMPLY CUZ I'M TEXAN
GET MY SEX AND RESPECT ON THE COOL
LEARNED THRU THE STREETS 'STEAD OF LEARNIN' THRU THE SCHOOL
LOVE MY MAMA SHE AINT RAISE NO FOOL

HOOK X4
LIVIN' MY LIFE EVERY DAY IS A GRIND, ONLY LIVE ONCE DON'T PLAY WITH THE TIME
PLAY WIT THE TIME AND YOU WILL GET PLAYED, TRYNNA CATCH UP FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS.
