We Play 4 Keeps lyrics

[Intro]
Now the streets I run
Is the streets I'm from
And the streets you run
Is the streets you from
And this is for the borough

[Verse 1]
I roam in the jungle and rumble
With thugs and hoods that rob for goods
Weed smokers and murderers and relations
My daily operation Caucasians hit me with persuasions
Be all you can be, f*ck that
Be on the block, sell rocks, stay strapped
Ready to c*ck back and blast for my respect
Never neglect and watch out for my Tech
I got trouble, mad trouble
I drink too much, that's when I don't give a f*ck who I buck
I get sideways and take it to the highways
Killing liars twisting n*ggas like pliers
Day to day struggling juggling
Wondering where the next meal coming from
Never happen, nah mean?
I'm playing for keeps that means I'm keeping my cream

[Chorus x2]
We play for keeps, me and my peeps we run these streets
We play for keeps don't sleep when we creep
Lose your head piece chief bring beef lose teeth
We play for keeps

[Verse 2]
Brand new apparel on my ass on the regular
Skypager new ride equipped wit a cellular
Big ass piece of the pie till I die
Play for keeps no lie, wondering why
n*ggas ain't got no opportunity
n*ggas ain't got no f*cking unity
Every man for himself and kill a man wit the ball
Drink a little Hennessy and go A-wall
f*ck the bullsh*t, Glock shots spit where I rest at
Got me asking n*ggers where you buy that vest at
Leave my front door like I'm ready for war
I'm ready to die sometimes, I can't take it no more
My mentality is twisted
I'm forever blunted forever wishing to get lifted and splifted
I love these streets
That's why a n*gga like Nine play for keeps

[Chorus x2]
We play for keeps, me and my peeps we run these streets
We play for keeps don't sleep when we creep
Lose your head piece chief bring beef lose teeth
We play for keeps

[Verse 3]
Darc Mass forever until the day I'm gone
I'm gonna put in on my people
Save it for the sequel, the root of all evil
Is filling up my pocket making me lethal
Only the good die young so I'm bad as f*ck
Pass the buck and be sh*t out of luck
n*ggas know the routine, we got it down pat
You ain't getting jack if your pocket ain't fat
So phat out the realness, you could feel this
Going insane mi cyaan deal wit' dis
I'm under pressure
The ghetto got my mind in a daze
Ducking strays, knowing that crime pays
Always and forever picture perfect
Not the Mona Lisa, cutting up n*ggas like pizza
In slices devices of war make me hardcore
Over rough beats I play for keeps

[Chorus x2]
We play for keeps, me and my peeps we run these streets
We play for keeps don't sleep when we creep
Lose your head piece chief bring beef lose teeth
We play for keeps
