Dope Game - T.I.

If I learned one thing 'bout the dope game

Put shit pay now, nigga, even if you ridin' with 'em

And when they learn what you got in your couch at the spot

That how lame niggas get shot

If I learned one thing, about the dope game

It’s niggas ain’t shit and bitches ain’t neither

Real nigga never gon' rat

And never gon' leave without a Heater

What I learned from the dope game

Don’t mix weed, cocaine, they ain’t with you for the smoke, man

Get you an elbow of head bands, take it to the head, man

Fuck what all them sucker niggas said

What I learned from the dope game

Trust no nigga no time, even when a homeboy co-sign

So he say he got a coke line, don’t be talkin' like that on your line

That how you get more time

What I learned from the dope game

With big risk, low reward though, the more you get away, the more,

you can afford more

Dress up like you goin' to award shows

But if you live by the sword, dyin' by it, better know it

What I learned 'bout the dope game

Is how to take a lil of that and turn it into somethin'

You could bestow another woman

Start hustling the spring, by the summer, you’d be stuntin'

Sheesh, get your baby and your baby mama on some money, shit die Louis,

twelve hunnid

What I learned from the dope game

If you trappin', make it happen

And word never overrule action

What I learned from the dope game is what I know

What I learn what I know

What I learned from the dope game that what I know

That what I learn what I know

What I learned from the dope game

We recognise, never talk about it

Like how to make a million out of crack house

No, and you ain’t need to know that

'Cause you probably been in jail, you don’t wanna go back

And jail givin' years like the number on the throwback

But you already know that

What I learned 'bout the dope game

Shit, quite sober

You don’t never trap without an umbrella

And don’t believe the judge can try and tell you what you give him

If he ain’t got no money then all he said is, «I'm finna»

What I learned 'bout the dope game

Take shit from no nigga

And never go to sleep around a stripper

When niggas come to get you, the bullet miss you, it whistle

Nigga, go get nigga the issue

What I learned 'bout the dope game

Hard work ain’t God work

When you feed your family off of hard work

Try to go to church, keep God first

Stray bullet put you in a hearse

What I learned 'bout the dope game

A nigga gon' talk

If it ain’t a bank roll, take a walk

And give a damn what a sucker nigga thought

Fuck around, get knocked off

What I learned 'bout the dope game

Broken life, broken home

A generation full of rollin' stones

Even though I’m grown

Wait for the nigga still got it goin' on

What I learned from the dope game is what I know

What I learn what I know

What I learned from the dope game that what I know

That what I learn what I know

What I learned from the dope game
