Cheat Codes
Danger Mouse Lyrics

Uh-huh
Agreement or affirmation

Two-fifteen
The time when the events take place

Young gunners in beast mode, K-9 teeth show
Youngsters in aggressive mode, with teeth like a dog.

Cheat code playing with unlimited free throws
Playing with an advantage; you don't have to pay the price for your moves.

Playin' that feet, move faster than a Capri stroll
Moving your feet with speed.

Where they run in the strip like the women in peep shows
Running in the street like the women in adult entertainment venues.

Pay the price, gamble with ya life like Pete Rose
Risking your life like the former baseball player did by gambling.

Bust a move, paper bubble like Veuve Clicquot's
Make a bold move that'll pay off like opening a bottle of champagne.

Who got the streets of Philly flooded like Puerto Rico's?
Who has the Philadelphia streets as busy and flooded as the aftermath of a hurricane?

You get McNabbed like Donovan, it's finitos
You get tackled like McNabb just like the NFL quarterback once was.

Theologians point to the trap house that God is in
Theologians believe that certain places, like a trap house, is where God's presence can be found.

Go on, take his name in vain, like a phlebotomist
Taking God's name in vain, like a phlebotomist mentions blood in his job.

I'm the one that tell you what time it is
I am the one that tells you the truth.

Never been into selling you promises, it's hot as a pot of grits
I never sold you empty promises. It's the hot truth.

That's not a myth, Blackness is not a monolith
That's not a false belief. Not every Black person is the same.

A lotta niggas probably gotta see psychologists
Many people may need therapy.

To understand why we wallowing where the bottom is
To understand why we are struggling at the bottom.

And common sense isn't what they teaching in colleges
Common sense is not being taught in colleges.

Shit, it's real when you done lost your last feeling
It's real when you have nothing else to lose.

Jump, then bounce back off the glass ceiling
Jump and then come back stronger after overcoming obstacles.

Back to stealing, to Xanax and smack dealing
Returning to a life of crime and drug dealing.

That's appealing, go grab your kids and shield them
That idea may seem tempting, but protect your children from that dangerous lifestyle.

Where hustling became an art, the mantra is manage not defanged
Where hustling became a skilled profession, the motto is to handle things wisely.

Where shit ain't for the faint of heart
Where things are not easy and require bravery.

The rated R, everybody wrists got razor marks
Everybody has gone through tough times and has scars to show for it.

In projects, township favelas and trailer parks
In areas of poverty, no matter where they are located.

The wave been a vibe
The trend has been a feeling or mood.

Better head for the church, mosque, or synagogue
You should seek religious guidance and support.

Chase the Grim Reefer with Henn-ocide
Chase weed with alcohol, which can be deadly when consumed excessively.

We need it like a hole in the head, thorn in his side
We don't need it at all; it's like adding more trouble.

It all take its toll in the end, strong niggas die
It all has consequences in the end, even the strongest individuals die.

Made figures who name bring became king
Individuals who became wealthy and powerful due to their name.

Or became fathers and sons facing the same thing
Or became fathers and sons struggling with the same challenges.

In the hood, mouth full of blood, tasting the same sting
In the ghetto, with hurt and bleeding mouths from the same pain.

Playing a game, trying hard to hang by the same string
Playing a risky game, hoping to hold on and not fall.

You better get the cheat code or get RICO-ed, nigga
Either cheat your way through life or be prosecuted under the RICO act.

Bad credit get your shit repoed, listen
Bad credit can result in losing your possessions/property to repossession.
