[Verse 1: T.R.R.E.] These days lately, my momma seem to hate me I remind her of my old man, I never really knew Packin' smoke the same squares, even drink the same brew Have the same attitude but God brought me through Two sons right here, baby girl on the way Will history repeat itself? Nigga nah, not today I'll teach ya 'bout my strongholds and my setbacks Generational curse, am I mortified with my verse On a hot track - See I ain't lookin' back The struggle is gone, Ka-poof, bye-bye, good-bye I wish it was that easy but you know I'd be lyin' Just as - Clueless as Jay in wonderin' why Why I was dealt a bad hand in life But fuck it gotta play with what I got right? Shit, and what is deeper than a gunfight - When you tryna fight them demons that be inside?
[Hook] See I was born with dirty genes D-I-R B-A-D's Watchin' 'em bleed, tryna get 'em clean Then I hold up my paw For the world to see But low and behold, nothing's changed Could it be I'm a slave - Could it be I'm a slave - Could it be I'm a slave to the game?
[Verse 2: Easy Lee] A sinner yeah it's in my blood, a sinner yeah I am Grand Central know my chapter so a gambler's who I am Bent my life on music now you see I'm shakin' hands Dappin' niggas who don't know me they just know that Mojoe jams Consider Easy as - A poet 'bout his hustle Got these bricks up on my chest Fuck a Dr. Phil, I find that music is the best - Therapy now could it be it's meant for me to fail Voices in my head tell me that soul music will sell My heart tells me it will, if we both just keep it real Mama, just be patient we gon' make it let us grind Bonnie daddy loves you just give me a little time To put this thing together - Yeah I made yo mama cry, but don't ever wonder why I was out here in the belly livin' dirty on the low Drinkin' chasin' women I have nothin' here to show But the G's my daddy gave me and this blunt I'm 'bout to blow
[Hook]
[Break] x2 Runnin' so long Hurtin' my genes Just wanna go home Lost in the street
[Hook]
[Outro] Could it be I'm a slave - Could it be I'm a slave - Could it be I'm a slave to the game?
