game of spades

It's a dangerous game
When you got nothin' to win and nothin' to lose
You give yourself away
You're killin' your soul cause evil rots from the root
Give yourself away
The slight of the hand serves you a twist of fate
You give yourself away
I hope for the best
Cross my fingers and pray

Yeah everyday I'm paid
You can't stop the rain it falls
Sunshine on the way
Yeah money tree my greenest thumb
Every flaw from hate
Til' love prevails so beautifully
I can't make you wait
But with or without I'm up

With or without you, the money comin' cause I never chase
With or without you, the PJ comin so I'm never late
With or without you, the waters flood and clear out all the pain
The seeds I laid
Come back and feed me grapes
If I could hold you close up to my heart
So you don't feel no pain
If I could hold you tighter in my arms
So you don't ever see no rain
But that ain't gon' be right cause every lesson is for you to gain
So look me in my eyes and hold your chin up
You gotta show yo' chain

With or without me, the clock keep movin
Gotta use your brain
With or without me, the demons comin
Gotta keep on praying
With or without me, the love you give yourself gon' heal the shame
And keep you sane
Just see to your faith
I swear you gon' be straight cause

Play a dangerous game
Nothing, nothing to win and nothing to lose
Give yourself away
Killin' your soul
Money rots from the root
Give yourself away
Slight of a hand, twist of fate
Give yourself away
But you should never be fazed
Keep up a poker face
