[Verse 1: Sheff G]

Look, I'm washin' my hands, enough with the sinnin'

Look, I been on a mission

Never gon' change the way am I livin'

But, my livin' conditions dead or in jail, I promise I won't

Huh, but that's what they want, I'm ridin' for gang, we right or wrong

Huh, you reap what you sow

I used to bag out from the store to the mornin', niggas barely been home

My niggas got bagged up livin' tough, we was young, in our minds we was grown

I live with the bad luck, tryna keep us from going, tryna keep us from growin', look

Had to step on the motions, save invest, play a game like chess, I'm the plug nigga

Need it, I got it, you hit me, I hit you, we eating, we gettin' cash

You tryna run on the plug, you just neglecting the feet of hand, huh

They bound to keep hatin' on you, don't let hate consumе you keep livin', look

I said they gon' keep hatin' on you, nigga fuck it

[Chorus: Sheff G]

We used to pray for timеs like this, pray for times like this

Was putting in pain for times like this, pain for times like this

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, mm

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, look

We used to pray for times like this, pray for times like this

Was putting in pain for times like this, pain for times like this

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, mm

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, ​look

[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]

Look, niggas all upset at how I ball and stack

Never rat or told, I got a flawless rep

Day I went legit, was when I became a threat

No excuses for your failures after my success

We was both a tourist stupid for the set

Back-to-back violations over new arrests

Hunnid dollar quarter pieces, west side we invest

Chop 'em down to thirty racks and sell 'em off the step

When Crash hit the block, we used to hit the gate

All out of breath, talkin' bout how we gon' be rich as Jay

Roc A Fella was to Brooklyn we'll be to LA

What Blink was to 534, we'll be to the cage

Some niggas stay focused, some niggas stray

Some niggas show love and some niggas hate

One thing I did right, was keep gettin' paid

Less talking, more demonstratin', Hussle

[Chorus: Sheff G]

We used to pray for times like this, pray for times like this

Was putting in pain for times like this, pain for times like this

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, mm

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, fuck it look

[Outro: Sheff G]

Pray for times like this, pray for times like this

Pain for times like this, pain for times like this

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, mm

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game

Sit back, I'm learnin' the game, ​look
