TEFLON - Game Of Life lyrics

[Intro/Chorus: Teflon]

Keep yo' eyes on the prize

Cause the name of this game of life is to survive

Recognize, keep yo' eyes on the prize

Because the name of this game of life is to survive

Recognize, keep yo' eyes on the prize

Because the name of this game of life is to survive

Recognize, keep yo' eyes on the prize

Because the name of this game of life is to survive

Recognize

[Teflon]

I guess it's nuttin more to talk about, get crossed up out

every path that we could possibly pass, lost about

all the love we had fo' each other

The brothers that used to love us

be the same niggaz now that try to rub us

In the quest for the forbidden fruit of life, my greed

made my soul bleed for me to unmask the hidden truth

Reverse the clock, let it rewind back in time

to a time in my mind, where we was the younger flock up on the block

A sign, blood brothers when we was nine

Thug brothers when we was ten

Cause that's when our life turned to crime

Innocence stolen, boy turned to men, damn from this moment on

and all those so-called friends became opponents

No more eatin Now or Laters, nowadays we play for high stakes

And so we play the 'Ville, where the power's greater

I guess there come a time in all of our life

For us to seperate the men from the mic, for real

[Chorus]

[Teflon]

Now we in this for the gold, and dough

Windows of our soul preach the legendary stories never told

Back when the TV's was black and white, when phonographs piped

Days back in the days when we used to act like we was cousins

Niggaz knew we wasn't, still I spend the night at yo' crib

And you spend the night at my crib - WE WAS COUSINS

Fuck what anybody tell us

We talkin snotty-nose in the hall, catchin body blows from older fellas

We rolled together, no stick and move, chicken move

We was slick and smooth brothers that knew, how to pick and choose

whatever we wanted, stay blunted on life, natural high

Goin back to school fly, livin life abundant

What made us change, what made us deranged, what made us complain

What made us brothers get ahead of this game

Now all we seem to see is pain

Too many brothers got slain in this game for tryin to get a name

[Chorus]

[Teflon]

Adjust your sight upon the torch, right in front of your eyes

Live surprise that got so many lives cut short

We claim we in this for the long run

But if you think you gonna last forever in this game

you in the wrong one (that's strong son)

Don't be no ass kid, it's drastic

Cause the way another brother play'll put you in a casket

Nowadays, street motto is take the bottle from a young son

Give him a gun and watch him turn to desperado

We in the last days

And the Revelation's on the last page

Slowly we burn - the world is the ashtray

We cast away our former plans, we on the block now

Scramblin with our mans up on the corner, slingin rocks now

No time to think about the past, it's all about the cash

No matter who ass might gotta get blast

We all about the bread up in the end

You get set up and wet up by the same niggaz you used to call your friend

[Chorus]
