Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
The streets keep callin' my name
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
I can never leave da game
I can't leave da game
[Verse 2]
No matter how many times I go to jail
I can't leave da game
No matter how many times I fuck up
I can't leave da game
I can't leave da game
[Verse 3]
Grew up poor, poorer than most
No papa to show me the ropes
So my animal instinct on me go for the dough
A young **** started packing toast for the loaf
Ride another and another and a sister and a brother
Even robbed a **** that I thought was undercover
For a whole block of butter
[Verse 4]
Crackers knockin' at my mamma's door
Before my mamma woke
While she dreamin' of me being on the honor roll
It was downhill from now
It was downtown chills and cold courtroom air
Every year I say I'm finna to change
But every year still the same
Ice cold water still fill my vain
I can't leave da game
Born in it, sworn in it, swervin' in a foreign in it
[Verse 5]
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
The streets keep callin' my name
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
I can never leave da game
I can't leave da game
[Verse 6]
No matter how many **** doubt me
I can't leave da game
No matter how many cuffs get put on my wrists
I can't leave da game
Never leave da game
[Verse 7]
Came from a broken home, broken alone
Made the best outta what I had
Gun, glove and mask
So deep in the game, I couldn't leave if I tried
Even if I quit, kicked, screamed and cried
This shit is all I know, this all I ever knew
Started from the bottom then I rose to level two
[Verse 8]
Cars got fancy, bitches did too
Hate got double, **** wishin' they was you
But they don't know the struggle, triple cross and the pain
They gon't see the trouble, just the floss and the fame
They don't see them **** pointing fingers for the blame
The bodies, the shotties, the blood, the stains
I can't leave da game
I'm born in it, sworn in it, swervin' in a foreign in it
[Verse 9]
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
The streets keep callin' my name
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
I can never leave da game
I can't leave da game
[Verse 10]
No matter how many **** doubt me
I can't leave da game
No matter how many cuffs get put on my wrists
I can't leave da game
Never leave da game
[Verse 11]
Money and the power keep on callin' me
Plus the pussy and the powder make it hard to sleep
Cauliflowers in my chest make it hard to breathe
And with all this combined, it make it hard to leave
I live for the stage, the mics and the lights
I'm so tired of cuffs and gettin' read my rights
Signed my first solo deal the run, my advance
Was spent on a lawyer, bail and a gun
Never given the chance, always overlooked
Never given the glance
So I took it like a crook
Like I should, like I 'pose to
Now a hater heart sink when I flow through
I can't leave da game
Born in it, sworn in it, swervin' in a foreign in it
[Verse 12]
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
The streets keep callin' my name
Every time I wanna leave, I just can't go away
I can never leave da game
I can't leave da game
[Verse 13]
No matter how many **** doubt me
I can't leave da game
No matter how many cuffs get put on my wrists
I can't leave da game
Never leave da game
