There is nowhere to lay the blame when you play the game and lose you live the way you choose the blame lays with you when you're chasing hood fame don't be afraid to pay your dues you live the way you choose the blame plays with you lays with you when people start acting strange because you're doing what you do you live the way you choose and that blame goes with you We have to acknowledge our wrongs to gain knowledge of self/ wisdom and understanding is the ultimate wealth / You can't blame the dealer for the cards you were dealt/ when you sat down to gamble just to see how it felt/ now you got your hand out asking for someone to help/ but you will always be helpless if you ain't helping your self/ you got to make your own plate your own bed for your head to lay/ Remain real and try to breath truth with every breath you take/ in stead of making up excuses use your mistakes to educate/ so one day we may finally find what it takes to set the record straight/ untill then we hear the needle scrape while that ole broken record plays/
