The Game

Trying to leave the game
The other side is the same
The grass ain't no greener
Things are much meaner

Trying to live right, walk in a better light
Money struggles make me wonder if it will be ever be alright
Working for pennies, trying to keep up with the rats
Should I forget it, and go back hanging with those old cats?

Dope dealing ain't the life
But at least I wasn't living in strife
Corporate America and its liars
Wish I could set them all on fire

Stuffy shirts, fax machines and plaid skirts
Meetings, water coolers and people talking dirt
I'm still a number, a body, just a nigger
Desperately wondering if I can be much bigger

Trying to live right, walk in a better light
Can't keep up the with the hypocritical fight
Why stay away from the game?
When my name ain't changed

Got babies to feed, trying to do a good deed
Never get respect in this corporate greed
It ain't worth the struggle
My heart, my mind, my wallet - I try to juggle

I gotta go back
Need to get my money on track
This side is the blame
I'm back in the game
