tonightThat's on e'rythang, put it on the kids and the
wifeBeen buryin my folks ever since they raised the price on
thecokeSearchin for a quick antidoteMo' money, mo'
problems to cope[GZA]We were at the same table when the chips
were checkedA gamblin +Rebel+ who +Inspects+ the +Deck+Just when
you thought we would fold our handAgainst all odds we raised the
bet like we changed the plansIt was live on air but in between
station breaksI was holdin a pair and just made the table
stakesSplit the demos, put insurance on tapesA safeguard against
the crusaders in capesIf I double down they say the Gods are
sharksIf we win against the house they thought the cards was
markedWe draw hit after hit from a royal flush menuWhile the
dealer promoted the full house venueA spade in the club with the
heart to wear diamondsThe high roller who got credit upon
signinThey look puzzled when I shuffle, most of 'em stunned
by thehustleRecourse of bluff game's your muscle[Chorus] -
