Game of Life
Snoop Dogg And Steady Mobb'n Lyrics

Game that's my thang
I am deeply involved in this lifestyle and it defines who I am.

And it ain't no rules when you in this game
There are no limitations or restrictions when you are living this lifestyle.

Gunblast echo fast and all I seen was loose cash
As the gun fired rapidly, I witnessed money flying around uncontrollably.

I hit the flo' & when they go I make sure I grab all the dough
I quickly dropped to the ground and seized all the money before anyone else could take it.

The scene: long beach yeah '86
The location was Long Beach, specifically in the year 1986.

Where: the liquor store nigga on some devilish shit
I was at the liquor store engaging in criminal activities.

I went in to grab a drink but I came out a felon
My intention was to buy a beverage, but I ended up leaving with a criminal record.

My homeboy got away but shit I wasn't tellin'
Although my friend managed to escape, I remained silent and didn't provide any information to the authorities.

So I fell in a trap with no getback
I found myself caught in a difficult situation with no way to retaliate or seek revenge.

They threw away the key and now I'm a og
I was locked up for an extended period of time, transforming me into an experienced and respected individual in the criminal world.

In the county jail rappin' & bangin' at the same time
While incarcerated, I engaged in both music and criminal activities simultaneously.

And since I don't smoke cigarettes loc
As I do not smoke cigarettes, my income is derived from illicit activities.

Shit, I gotta slang mine
I must sell drugs to make a living.

And I ain't tryin' to get on swole so I ain't fuckin' with the iron
I have no interest in becoming muscular, so I avoid weightlifting and focus on other aspects of my lifestyle.

I got bitches bringin' me money & ain't a godamn thing funny
I have women who bring me money and there is nothing amusing about it.

My homeboy devil from the hcg and young side trey r.i.p
My close friend, Devil, was affiliated with the Harbor City Crip Gang and the Young Side Trey gang, rest in peace.
