The Game of Life
The Game Of Life
This game of life we're livin'
is full of hate and sinnin'
It seems no matter how hard we push
there's just no winnin'.
God put you here for a reason
but sometimes we sit and wonder why.
We wonder why,
at the same time wanting to break down and cry
but we were taught a little different
not to cry but just be strong
We're fighting in this war as one
but not where we belong.
This game of life is confusing...
If God made it that easy
we wouldn't face these challenges
and there would be no such thing as losing
We're already in hell tryin' to make it to heaven;
but the things we gotta do to make it
takes us straight to court
and we're charged like 9/11.
This game of life is addicting...
Then it's back to the street
to the life that we know
hustlin' harder than before
just tryin' to stay low.
It's not that simple; not everyone can win.
They hand you the papers
and ask who is next of kin
Damn, we lost another one
in this crazy game of life
a sigh of relief fills you,
cause' that could have been your wife.
This game of life is the life we know;
and this game of life is too much to hold.
So we wait for the day
but until that day comes
we'll hold our heads high and never forsake.
