[Intro: Kanye West, Bee Gees]
Yo Brian when I first heard this beat
The way that shit knocked dun-du-dun (ha)
I just pictured myself in the six (Living in a foolish Game)
Turning slow as hell with yank in the trunk and shining
[Verse 1: Mikkey Halstead, Bee Gees, Kanye West]
Speak from the heart [Shit]
Bleed on the page
Cage the 16 bars then freed on the stage (Living in a foolish Game)
Raised in the ghetto 'round several thugs
With phones tapped with federal buzz
K why they wanna mettle with us [I Don't Know]
Is it cus we cop that metal and bust [Probably]
Crackers saying it's the devil in us (Living in a foolish Game)
And you can't trust your mom cus she acting insane
With a belt wrapped round her arms
Steady cap in her veins
Am I rapping in vein
If my niggas can't adapt to the game
At the corner store asking for change (Living in a foolish Game)
Give him love like what's up Joe? Same ol same
They told me Mikkey save your speeches cause I ain't gon change
It's just the rag-town in me [What]
No back down in me
So I spit rounds till the fucking clips found empty (Living in a foolish Game) [That's Right]
Probably drown in Remy
Choke em thick clouds in smoke till my old folks try to get me (You Know What)
[Chorus: Mikkey Halstead, Bee Gees]
My niggas living in this foolish game
Where you don't know the rules and the dudes is paying (Living in a foolish Game)
And as soon as you catch up, then the rules have changed
Nough to make a fool lose his brain
You know what my niggas living in this foolish game
Where you don't know the rules and the dudes is paying (Living in a foolish Game)
And as soon as you catch up, then the rules have changed
Nough to make a fool lose his brain
[Verse 2: Mikkey Halstead, Bee Gees]
I'm on 116th South Morgan nigga
Where OGs flick links & rock Jordans nigga (Living in a foolish Game)
Pouring seek em seven up in foam cups
Never call Earl, now gang signs the only thing that's thrown up
Tore up holling at slippys all night
Call em GMC Mechanics cus they keeping niggas jimmys tights (Living in a foolish Game)
I gotta spit it, how it's like put my life on it (What?)
Unborn kids, my crib and my wife on it (Cmon)
My mics haunted with dead friends and cold blood
The realest G's get murdered by them holsters. (Living in a foolish Game)
Mostly over boulders or that cola
But every nigga in my hood is a solider
Y'all niggas weak so I speak for the ghetto (Uh)
Got a college degree and chose teach in the ghetto (Living in a foolish Game)
While you reach for your metal, I already got it
Seek respect in the ghetto but I already got it (Cmon)
[Chorus: Mikkey Halstead, Bee Gees]
My niggas living in this foolish game
Where you don't know the rules and the dudes is paying (Living in a foolish Game)
And as soon as you catch up, then the rules have changed
Nough to make a fool lose his brain (Cmon, shit)
You know what my niggas living in this foolish game
Where you don't know the rules and the dudes is paying (Living in a foolish Game)
And as soon as you catch up, then the rules have changed
Nough to make a fool lose his brain
[Verse 3: Mikkey Halstead, Bee Gees]
Mikkey spit it for the gangsters
And the ballers rimmed up
To the broke dudes with payless shoes that's bent up (Living in a foolish Game)
Stay true man, It ain't where you from it's where you end up
Cus everybody claims to keep it real, but this real life sucks
Sometimes I feel I wanna up that steel like what
Joe you gotta give it up man, I gotta live it up (Living in a foolish Game)
My style's viagra cus yall rappers can't get it up
Or like money and sex, cus y'all can never get enough
Man I drunk fifths of paint
Smoke dose of hope
Cus I gotta maintain for all blokes on dope (Living in a foolish Game)
Take one more toke and I blow that shit out like Chris Tucker
Cus this ghetto lifes a bitch but I insist I love her
We all suffer but I learned the saying he rides
So when the beef comes I up mine to defeat guys (Living in a foolish Game)
I'm street-wise but pray I never have to sell it
And I never speak lies like Bill Clinton when he said he ain't inhale it
And let the streets tell it
[Chorus: Mikkey Halstead, Bee Gees]
You know what my Niggas living in this foolish game
Where you don't know the rules and the dudes is paying (Living in a foolish Game)
And as soon as you catch up, then the rules have changed
Nough to make a fool lose his brain
You know what my Niggas living in this foolish game
Where you don't know the rules and the dudes is paying (Living in a foolish Game)
And as soon as you catch up, then the rules have changed
Nough to make a fool lose his brain
[Outro: Mikkey Halstead, Bee Gees]
Yeah all my real niggas out there
Yeah we gon keep our head high (Living in a foolish Game)
Go through the struggle
You know what I'm saying
Take shit as a loss
Shit, shits so bad
Maybe y'all need to get on y'all knees and pray
Ya know what I'm Saying? (Living in a foolish Game)
Step out into the rain with the water washing the sins from you
Ya feel me?
