Playing for Keeps
Working
7 days straight this ain't for the weak
It gets real when you're playing for keeps
1 hand on my heart
1 foot in the street
Life on pause my thoughts on repeat
N**** with a attitude
It gets outrageous
Moving like Dr. Dre
But I got no patience
Take risks 'cah playin it safe
Is so dangerous
Out there manna got toys that you don't play with
Dreams turn to nightmares when you don't chase 'em
So I say it with my chest it don't go without saying
And no we ain't clout chasing
I'm just saying
Saying a lot without saying too much
Wasn't askin for help just did it myself
Don't talk about the work that I put in
Let it speak for itself
Real recognize the rest don't know what I'm speaking about
Woi
Home body that's a main ting that you keep in the house
Insecure about my old jawns that I keep on the shelf
And all the other things that never fail to keep her in doubt
No remorse from the start did already know what it is
Deal with anything that's thrown at me I'm over equipped
Got drive but at this point I writ enough
Like I ain't even gotta switch gears to put in a shift
Easy
7 days straight this ain't for the weak
It gets real when you playin for keeps
1 hand on ma heart 1 foot in the street
Life on pause my thoughts on repeat
Woi
Still separate the boys from the men with my versus
Heart built slightly differently to the average person
The way it's implanted in my chest you should clap for the surgeon
Never been afraid to push the boundary
And carry the burden
I just had to take my time with it like beating a virgin
Telling me how I should be but I don't agree with that version
No sense in fronting brudda if you can't back it in person
Burn the bridge before anyone can cross me or burn me
Self validated co signs will never concern me
They ask me how I do it I say I'm just workin
7 days straight this ain't for the weak
It gets real when you playin for keeps
1 hand on ma heart 1 foot in the street
Life on pause my thoughts on repeat
my thoughts on repeat
yeah
We move
7 days straight this ain't for the weak
It gets real when you're playing for keeps
1 hand on my heart
1 foot in the street
Life on pause my thoughts on repeat
N**** with a attitude

Moving like Dr. Dre
But I got no patience
Take risks 'cah playin it safe
Is so dangerous
Out there manna got toys that you don't play with
Dreams turn to nightmares when you don't chase 'em
So I say it with my chest it don't go without saying
And no we ain't clout chasing
