[Verse 1: Young Noble]
A lot of rules to the game only a few stay true
Believe, n***as gon' hate you for whatever you do (Whatever you do)
Took a oath to stay silent, told everything he knew
But would you knew your your whole life, but you never really knew (Yeah)
They gon' smile in your face but really can't stand you
They see your potential, that's why they don't support you
Wanna see you doin' good but never better than them (Never better than them)
Champion in my blood (Yeah!) I'ma find a way to win independent (C'mon!)
I'm young, I've done seen too much (Need to much)
Keep it real simple, I don't really need too much
I keep it a buck, already know that you felt me
I'm just playin' my hand with these cards God dealt me (C'mon)
Young black and healthy, america's nightmare (America's nightmare)
That I can reach the world, spittin' this shit right here (Right here)
The rose that grew through the concrete, through the projects n***a, we give hope to the hopeless

[Chorus: Aktual & Deuce Deuce]
I'm just playin' my hand with these cards God dealt me
'Cause I feel like there's nobody else that can help me
The world's full of jealousy and envy
Smilin' in my face but they really can't stand me
And I thought that they loved me
But I guess I was wrong (Yeah, I know how that is, yeah yeah)
So if that's the way it's gotta be (Check it)
We gon' ride on our enemies (Yo)
[Verse 2: Deuce Deuce]
They doin' too much (Too much) They stupid as fuck
You damn right I've got a problem with trust (Trust)
Greed, envy and lust, feelin's get crushed (Crushed)
Take aim squeeze and bust
Worldwide Outlaw ridas, they fuckin' with us
They got the game wrong, all this make up caked on
Playin' superman with a cape on (Cape on)
Me and my Canada's nightmare, through it all
Thick and thin, still standin' I'll be right here (Right here)
Ain't nobody playin' fair, they tryna stack the deck
And cut the corner, in the end, death's everywhere (Everywhere)
You can smell the aroma, we used to play in the sandbox
Flip grams of rocks, same ones wanna see me in a box
I did nothin' to 'em, me I'm just me, like run right through 'em (Run right through 'em)
Like fuck who knew him, n***as mad sittin' on they ass
Watchin' life pass 'em by (Get up off yo' ass) And got the nerve to ask why

[Chorus: Aktual, Deuce Deuce & E.D.I. Mean]
I'm just playin' my hand (They got the nerve to ask why) with these cards God dealt me
'Cause I feel like there's nobody else, that can help me
The world's full of jealousy and envy
Smilin' in my face but they really can't stand me
And I thought that they loved me
But I guess I was wrong
So if that's the way it's gotta be (That's the way it's gotta be then huh)
We gon' ride on our enemies
[Verse 3: E.D.I. Mean]
Don't ask me 'bout Buck, he doin' what he gotta (What he gotta)
You lookin' for Kastro? He chillin' in Atlanta
As far as me and Nobe' we on the road feedin' the babies (Babies)
Gettin' Deuce into the industry, this bullshit is crazy (Crazy)
Half these n***as fugazi or lazy I ain't either one (Uh uh)
Don't wait up for me baby, you gon' see me when you see the sun (Sun)
Since he was a lil n***a, they was yellin' "he the one"
Mad he a O.G. they still sayin' "he the one to lead us to freedom"
I ain't gon' cheat 'em I just teach 'em right (Right)
Deaf, dumb and blind (Blind) I'm prayin' that they see the light (Light)
These n***as ain't sayin' nothin', fuck it man give me the mic (Give-Give me the mic!)
We here to give game to 'em, kick sum'n that these G's' will like (Right)
Full time job holdin' Dizza back, you n***as lucky
He ain't make it up out that challenger, we still hungry
I said fuck the world, and the whole world said fuck me (What?)
That's the way it's gotta be? Gotta be...
We gon' ride on our enemies!
