every one of my friends says I'm makin it big
But I dont believe em, cuz you gotta be a thug to win/
in this game that's full of fakeness
a mona lisa was painted, i'm wearin it proudly
but the future looks grim/
i never trip though, just taking it in
a day at a time, crime central keeps livin
in the back of my mind/
on aver-age i fall in love three times in a month
it's a bad habit, who's accepting all my
offers to lunch?/

When I see you it's artwork, but I just can't draw you
I was hardly on the edge, but now my edges dissolve/
water levels are getting higher now i'm drowning in salt
I'd much rather dunk my head under to finish me off/
but I dont really feel like fighting much
so save the honor
I would never let them take you, trust me, get in the car/
I'm riding till the wheels fall off, or somebodys bored
'cuz im a player till these players check-mating my pawns/


are people really all that differ-ent?
two things are seperat-ing me from these females
and one of them is lipstick/
you're all lonely till youre givin a chance
when a black guy can't jump, 2 white boys can dance/
nobodys stating the facts, obviously attrated
to the pain because your closet full of skeletons man/
so pass go, i'm lockin it down till the storm is blue
it's sad when handcuffs are the only thing
that keep family around you/
