play your hand

Play Your Hand Hook: Play your hand, don’t fold, don’t freeze, don’t stall, Life deal dirty cards but I’m still gon’ ball. Middle finger to fear, yeah I’m takin’ my stand, You can talk all that shit — but I play my hand. Verse 1: Came from the mud where the hope feel thin, Mama prayed hard while the devil grinned. Every loss taught lessons, every win felt earned, Got scars on my soul from the bridges I burned. They said I’d fold under pressure — hell nah, bitch please, I been starving so long now I feast on the breeze. Every snake in the grass tryna hiss my name, But I cut through the bullshit, straight gas, no brakes. Pre-Hook: Yeah I learned quick, trust slow, Every friend ain’t real, every smile ain’t gold. So I bet on myself, fuck a safety plahin, When the deck stacked wrong — I still play my hand. Hook: Play your hand, don’t fold, don’t freeze, don’t stall, Life deal dirty cards but I’m still gon’ ball. Middle finger to fear, yeah I’m takin’ my stand, You can talk all that shit — but I play my hand. Verse 2: I done slept on floors with dreams on max, Now they see me grind and they switch that act. Same dudes clownin’, now they want a verse, But you wasn’t there when the nights was cursed. Fuck fake love, I don’t need no crowd, I move real silent but I stand real loud. If I die broke, at least I stood my ground, But I ain’t dyin’ broke — I’mma run this town. Bridge: Life ain’t fair, yeah I learned that young, But I ain’t no victim, I’m just gettin’ numb — to the pain, to the hate, to the bullshit talk, I move chess pieces while they still play chalk. Hook: Play your hand, don’t fold, don’t freeze, don’t stall, Life deal dirty cards but I’m still gon’ ball. Middle finger to fear, yeah I’m takin’ my stand, You can talk all that shit — but I play my hand. Outro: So when the lights go low and the crowd don’t clap, I still bet on me — that’s a cold hard fact. World full of lies, but I stand on truth, Play my hand every time — that’s the code I use.
