play the cards right

its big in side
and very wide
its pain  your eye rain
there's also fame
the
WORLDS A CARD GAME...

I ain’t no phoney
Just full of bologna (E)
Doing the fifth step
Will keep me Kept
Doing inventory
Kinda like a story
Humbling myself
Feels like nothing else
Asking for help
So I can play the cards Dealt...

New fashion greets,
Echoes and shouts;
Work smart and sweet.
Product roll-out;
Ample this thrill,
Rise to the top;
Touch frames a will,
Yield not to flop.
Play your cards well,
Embrace proud deal;
Options now tell,
Prompt funds to bill;
Live charming gains,
Endings speak plain.

Why does it have?
To hurt so bad
When we all know
That in the end
We’re nothing but sad
Falling in love
You think you’d be happy
Like nothing else matters
We become all sappy
It starts out amazing
When it feels so real
But all that we’ve been handed
Is just such a shitty deal
Play your cards right
And you will see
Nothing will ever
Turn out right...

Minds on fire 
bodies racked with pain 
Eyes bleary 
Every day it seems 
that the great checkerboard 
of day and night 
has us in its grip 
Where do we come from?
Where are we going?
These questions fill the air 
It seems that we are on a treadmill 
Like Sisyphus 
we face frustration 
But we can change 
the path we are on 
if we play our cards right...

Three sheets in the wind
And rubbed the wrong way
By a fair weather friend
You must seize the day

Let your hair down 
And lay down the law
Be the talk of the town
With your last hurrah

With all your high hopes
Few and far in between
Up against the ropes
Taking one for the team

Play your cards right
No guts no glory
Still High as a kite
The same old story...

Verses prt.2
By Valerie Odom
July 27, 2017

I need a girl that’s gone
Keep it tight
Eat it right
Never leave me
Just stay by my side

I need a girl that’s gone
Keep it real
Show me the whole deal
Not just play the cards
Girl just show me how you really feel

I need a girl that’s gone 
Vibe with a v
And chill with a c
Eat this kat with a k
And strap me down
S-T-R-A-P...

For those, who do all the work
do worry, they will tax you

For those, who yearly work
don’t worry, you might get some tax back

For those, who live in a house
do worry, it will cost you

For those, who can’t work
don’t worry, you’ll get a hand out

For those, who play their cards wright
do worry, it will cost you

For those, who are in jail
don’t worry, they will feed you...

A chance to play the cards life dealt
you hope for once to beat the odds.
Your heart says yes; because it felt
a chance to play the cards life dealt.
You knew a dream, like ice, could melt,
and so it was up to the Gods.
A chance to play the cards life dealt,
you hope, for once, to beat the odds.

have a wonderful week everyone
thank you

"if we play our cards right"

you give me everything
what girl could ask for more
if I play my cards right
my love will let you know

I cherish our moments alone
nothing could ever compare
if you play your cards right
such breaths will let me know

we whisper love made for two
tailored only for me and you
if we play our cards right
we will always journey as one

Drawn into a war that was not our choice,
we’re compelled to play the cards as they fall,
for although we wish all speak in one voice,
if swords need to be drawn as of fate's call,
aligned with righteousness, we must stand tall.
Thus playing out our life role, as ordained,
following path of truth, our soul's unstained
but we yet wish it did not come to this,
since love in our heart is deeply ingrained,
thus in midst of battle, we effuse bliss.

If it was meant to be then it'll be.
If i was meant for u and u were meant for me.
I love u and u love me.
So are we meant to be?
Not exactly.Love doesnt work that way,
just play your cards right and know exactly what u like about me.
I like everything about u and that's a good thing.
We 've got lots in common adn that makes a relationship strong.
That's why this will last long.
So do u think it can work? Do u think it could be?
I think so. I think we were meant to be....

one chance in this world is all that you get so make the best of it
cause lifes a gamble so play your cards right make your future bright
learn to give, love, and care but be careful if you take a dare
and if you get caught up in the stress of today make tomorrow a better day
just take a deep breath and count to ten and you'll feel better again
only you can take control of what life has in hold
so hold your head up high all you can do is try
cause lifes too short to let it pass by....
