Artist: Big Syke f/ 2Pac, Outlawz Immortalz, Tyrone Wrice, Michel'le Album: Where I've Been Mixtape Song: Play Ya Cards Rite (Switch Up Mix) Typed by: westbingmanson@gmail.com [Intro: 2Pac] I hope it can work out tonight, what's up boy I know we been seein' each other for a long time And (hahaha) I'm hopin' tonight can be the night Yeah, that's right [Verse 1: 2Pac] Another shady mission, had enough of shady tricks You so suspicious, like watchin' pictures and haze vision Tonight is love makin', take you any place you wish Today we satisfied, and tradin' slowly kisses Blind insanity, perfect pictures of me and my family Not understanding the destiny, had a plan for me If I have kids, will I live to see 'em grow? Tho' I don't know, I live the life of a Thug nigga until the day I go Broken promises, a secret bound broken I know I'll die alone, but yet and still I'm hopin' Visions of prisons, maybe I'll be forgiven I know it's better in heaven cause being here ain't livin' Close my eyes and see nothing but pain, the worlds crazy Still look for a queen to plant seeds and have babies Maybe I'll be the one, or just maybe I'm lost You'll never know, being cautious, and play yo cards right [Chorus; Tyrone Wrice] If you play your cardz right Everythangs gonna be alright If you play your cardz right If you play your cardz right Everythangs gonna be alright If you play your cardz right Tonight will be the night [Verse 2: Big Syke] I'm always in the mix Life is full of tricks I guess, tryin' my best Nothin' less, before I lay to rest My quest and future I'm mold like a new born baby Intense and seldom to the world I'm so crazy My daddy raised me to be a man, do the best I can He said you won't succeed in life without a plan It's hard to take my people trade me With Indian hate, can't wait better change before it's too late [Verse 3: Mopreme] They got me at the bottom of a deck, searching for my Ace I can't take too many jams, ain't much lovin' no place Full of torman and soul, and it's written all in my face Hollow inside, a crooked smile is the only trace A mission slightly incomplete Misconceptions of success and defeat I rome these dark streets alone Searchin' for yo homie, smokin' til I'm gone when I need someone to kind of lay my praries on [Chorus: Michel'le](2Pac talking over chorus) If you play your cardz right Everythangs gonna be alright (play your cards right) If you play your cardz right (that's right) (hahaha) (take your time nigga) If you play your cardz right Everythangs gonna be alright (play your cardz right) If you play your cardz right (be patient) Tonight will be the night [Verse 4: EDI] December 30 in nineteen-ninety fiend yeah My reincarnation steps in born into a world That don't love itself But the love is wealth My little nigga listen closely If you don't remember nothing else Just remember that life ain't nothing but a game A gamble And how you play your hand will sho' explain For example In times you gone journey into a crossroad Get lost tho' Keep on buryin' and let 'em see you walk up in Floss mode [Verse 5: Yaki Kadafi] Mysteriously it seems Through my deepest thoughts and dreams It's all wrong, pop too long gone And now 18, I'm stranded on my own Abandoned here in the zone Protect my throne Pile like a king, Al Capone style Lay no tracks on this rhyme Coked up, with Craig I get mine Livin' life as a Don, Guess Cortex, Louie Vuitton With my pass behind me And these triple connect set Here to blind me, I know one day my future's Going to find me and my crimey [Chorus: Michel'le] If you play your cardz right Everythangs gonna be alright If you play your cardz right If you play your cardz right Everythangs gonna be alright If you play your cardz right Tonight will be the night [Outro: 2Pac] If you play your cards right Play your cards right Take your time Dont be in such a rush (haha) Got to be patient man, be patient
