Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everything's gone be alright
If you play your cards right
Everything's gone be alright
[Verse 2]
It's do or die you're looking through the eye of the revolver
I revolve around the world, a problem solver
Alter your ego and the way you're walkin'
Talk to people still I stay regal
[Verse 3]
Read through the bullshit
Sometime to make peace you need a full clip
Roll dice with **** who got bricks at a good price
Talk shit give good advice rolling through the hood right
[Verse 4]
It's the good life like TI said
Getting it how could I not be fed
Get bread get dough get fed get mo'
In the old school Lincoln thinking I sit low
[Verse 5]
Let problems burn slow away
I yearn for the day that it won't go gray
Remember we were kings back in the day
Still can be depending on the cards you play
[Verse 6]
If you play your cards right
Everything's gone be alright
If you play your cards right
Everything's gone be alright
[Verse 7]
I ain't playing with a full deck
The government won't let me get a full check
I'm taxin' marks, I got more heart than clubs
The black spade, giving 'em darker love
[Verse 8]
Make 'em strip like poker, poker mag in his face
You tried to smoke my ace
You know the stakes is high like the ace is
Get your squad face down like cards before they get a face lift
[Verse 9]
You get robbed better yet jacked for diamonds
Leave you victim less like Jack in Shining
Blocked your bluff now your respect is stolen
Took your chips let my guys in Texas hold 'em
[Verse 10]
Rolled the strips of Vegas with money boss players
Stacey Adams of different flavors we major
Gangstas and hustles living movie star life
Dealt a bad hand but I played my cards right
[Verse 11]
If you play your cards right
Everything's gone be alright
If you play your cards right
Everything's gone be alright
[Verse 12]
If you play your cards right
Everything's gone be alright
If you play your cards right
Everything's gone be alright
[Verse 13]
Everything's gone be alright
If you play your cards right
Everything's gone be alright
