Game of Life
Cocoa Brovaz Lyrics

Yeah, after Dah Shinin, it all became clear to me
After the album Dah Shinin, I had a better understanding of things.

I knew things would be different son
I knew that things would change.

I knew it'd come time for a change
I knew that change was coming.

Seems like the time is now
Looks like now is the time for change.

Jewel on the world, make the earth sink
Spread knowledge that will have a profound impact on the world.

On the brink of divinity, defying gravity
Reaching for higher knowledge and understanding.

Reachin' for infinity
Looking for knowledge that transcends space and time.

Can he be incarcerated by the limits
Are people restricted by society's limitations?

Stuck, they can't function
People feel trapped and unable to succeed.

Caught up in the scrimage
People get overwhelmed by the challenges of life.

This game called life only lasts minutes
Life is short, and we must make the most of it.

Once you in it, be in it to win it to the finish
Once you decide to live life, give it your all.

Hard to sleep so I take it to the streets
I have difficulty sleeping, so I go outside to clear my mind.

Hold my head up, try to keep it movin'
I try to stay positive and keep going despite setbacks.

I need some air, I think I take a cruise with you
I need to take a break and go on a trip with someone.

Got me in the crib sleepin' with heat under the mattress
I have a gun under my mattress because I'm worried about intruders.

First the dogs go "bark"
My dogs bark as a sign of an intruder.

Then about five sparks bringin' light to the dark
I shoot five shots to light up the room so I can see the intruder.

Like ? does his movement when he's dealin' with math
I'm as calculated and focused as a mathematician.

Or the boss tell his workers where he's keepin' the stash
I'm as secretive as a boss who hides his money in a secret place.

When that gun blast, better have Jah on your side
When I shoot my gun, I hope God is on my side.

I know guys that get a thrill from the kill
I know people who enjoy killing others.

And other niggaz, who hold the greed to sling ?frills?
Other people are motivated by greed and material possessions.

Demon's tryin' to take my soul away
I feel like negative forces are trying to harm me.

But they won't get my soul today
I won't let the negative forces defeat me today.

Will I get locked up or blown away?
I worry about being arrested or killed.

Just stayin' strong is a price to pay
It's hard to stay strong, but it's worth it in the end.

Damn I haven't worked since I was 'bout 17
I haven't had a job since I was a teenager.

They had time busy hangin' out being a drama fiend
I was busy avoiding drama while my peers were actively seeking it out.

I had to run the streets, see what the night brought out
I walked around at night to see what was happening in the streets.

Sneak in the crib
I sneak back into my home.

Hear my moms prayin' to God that I sprout
My mother is praying for my well-being and success.

She told me concentrate on school but what I do about loot?
My mother advises me to focus on education, but I want to make money.

I want to push the fat ride, have bitches sweatin' me too
I want to have a nice car and impress women.

Crab niggaz still beggin' for CD's
Other rappers are begging for help releasing their music.

Something ain't peace and suicide's part of my thinkin'?
I'm considering suicide because something doesn't feel right in my life.

Even God don't hear my prayer or him just not care
I feel like God isn't listening to my prayers or doesn't care about me.

It?s time to take the struggle to the pavement
It's time to take our fight to the streets.

Let the people know the mayor sent the OK for enslavement
The mayor is responsible for the oppression of our people.

Orders from the government
The government is issuing orders that harm our community.

Official stubborn men with egos runnin' shit
The men in power are hard-headed and controlling.

They put the hit out on whoever try to get out
They kill anyone who tries to escape or expose their corruption.

And they are the directors who are dead and ?
They are the ones pulling the strings and causing destruction.

Look at the way some faces be lookin?
The way some people look at us makes me suspicious.

Cross the bank rock on to Brooklyn, Texas
Let's fight back across the country.

Somethin's cookin?
Something is happening soon.

Even down south in Atlanta
The oppression is happening everywhere, even in Atlanta.

Police play the pawn for their master
The police are acting as pawns for those in power.

For less than nothin? like they did Bobby Huton
They are willing to kill innocent people for no good reason.

Corruption got me clutchin? my rifle for gun bustin?
I'm worried about corruption and have my gun ready to use.

Look just like me
My enemies look like my friends and family.

I see that its time to intensify the movements in front of my eyes
It's time to double down on our efforts to fight back.

can't rely on a seeing dog they got me
I can't rely on anyone else to protect me.

Or lay and wait for the devil to surprise me, nah G
I refuse to be passive and let the devil control me.

It only takes a line to make the mind think
A single line can provoke deep thought.

Plenty be incarcerated by the limits
Many people are held back by societal limitations.

Be in it to win it ?till the finish
Keep pushing forward until you succeed.
