Artist: Big K.R.I.T. f/ BJ the Chicago Kid Album: King Remembered In Time Song: Life is a Gamble Typed by: kirenamloh@msn.com [Intro: sample from Marvin Gaye's "Life is a Gamble"] Life is a gamble, oh ohh, baby Where you win or lose ("Li-li-li-li, life is a gamble") [Chorus: BJ the Chicago Kid] {K.R.I.T.} {They said life...} ("Life, life is a gamble") So be careful when you shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em Shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em {They said life...} ("Life, life is a gamble") So be careful when you shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em Shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em [Big K.R.I.T.] I roll the dice one time for my folks that died off Rep the side they believe in but they side lost Let me toss a seven for the ones won't see tomorrow Cash those chips in for some time we don't need to ball Gunshots ran out, everybody hang out Yellow tape party, all over we sang out I don't like this feeling, ain't nothing that appealing 'Bout reminiscin, over you, my God I couldn't cry cause your mama couldn't stop cryin And that's hard, Lord I wish my folks would stopped dyin But who am I to say it wasn't your time to black out? You betted ALL on a spot I guess you crapped out For the finer thangs, indeed we chase, we told your patient self it's funny how the thing we love, can make us hate ourselves Russian roulette table, I gotta bet safer You gotta know when to fold yo' cards when you ain't able to reach into that dash when that, jackal up and flashed that brass like, "Gimme all you got or that's yo' ass!" That's all that it would took, the house got me shook Cause ain't no point spread, but God doin books Life... [Chorus] [Big K.R.I.T.] Life is a gamble feel like I'm ramblin sometimes Like what the fuck I'm s'posed to say in this rhyme I shed tears and they won't come back I send word and they won't run back My slot machine was broken this time Ain't no tokens, I can't redeem to preserve the focus of mine So many died and I'm scared it's just a matter of time 'fore I'm lifted myself, six people I know Ain't been in church in a while, I heard I reap what I sow Casket closed, Caddy doors, can't commemorate This tracks my gurney, my verse can be the ventilator So I breathe, cause +Loathing in Las Vegas+ wasn't meant for me Too scared I'll stay too long and forget where I'm really meant to be Heaven maybe, heaven lately, but all these lights are captivating I had to play it, for the sake of me and mine... Lord, I pray I hit it big this time [Chorus]
