I'm on the block, it's a game, I ain't playing Got my eye on the prize, ain't no delaying Money on my mind, got no time for the hating Gotta stack it up, gotta keep on elevating Every move I make, gotta be calculated In this game of life, man, it's complicated Gotta watch your back, gotta stay concentrated Ain't no room for mistakes, gotta stay dedicated In the streets, it's survival of the fittest Gotta hustle hard, gotta be the quickest Gotta grind all day, ain't no time for resting In this game of life, you gotta be relentless It's a game we play, ain't no rules or regulations Gotta stay sharp, gotta make the right calculations In this world of sin, gotta make the right decisions It's a game we play, gotta rise above the competition.
