Stakes Is High

Yo, it's about love of cars, love of funds

Lovin' to love mad sex, lovin' to love guns

Love for opposite, love for fame and wealth

Love for the fact of no longer lovin' yourself, kid (uh-huh)

We livin' in them days of the man-made craze where every aspect is vivid (word)

These brothers no longer talk -, ayo, these niggas live it

'Bout to give it to you 24-7 on the microphone

Plug One translatin' the zone (Plug One, Plug One, y'all)

No offense to a player, but, yo, I don't play

Nigga take offense, fuck it, got to be that way (what's up? What's up? What's up?)

JD Dove, show your love, what you got to say?

I say G's are makin' figures at a high regard

And niggas dyin' for it nowadays ain't odd (it ain't odd)

Investin' in fantasies and not God (what?)

Welcome to reality, see, times is hard

People try to snatch the credit, but can't claim the card

Showin' out in videos, sayin' they costarred (ayo)

See, shit like that'll make your mama cry (yeah)

Better watch the way you spend it 'cause the stakes is high (word up)

You know them stakes is high (uh-huh)

When you're dealin' with the vibe, vibrations

Stakes is high (come on)

Man, them stakes is high (check it)

I think that smilin' in public is against the law (what?)

'Cause love don't get you through life no more

It's who you know and, "How you, son?"

And how you gettin' in, and who the man holdin' heat, yo

And how was the skins, and how high

Yo, what up, huh? I heard you caught a body

Seem like every man and woman shared a life with John Gotti

But they ain't organized

Mixin' crimes with life enzymes

Takin' the big scalp route

And - know doubt better than they know they daughters and they sons (oh, boy)

Yo, people go through pain and still don't gain

Positive contact, just like my main man

Who got others cleanin' up his physical and fluids (Uh-huh)

His mind got congested, he got the nine and blew it

Neighborhoods are now hoods 'cause nobody's neighbors

Just animals survivin' with that animal behavior (damn)

Under I who be rhymin' from dark to light sky (sky)

Experiments where needles and skin connect (yeah)

No wonder where we live is called the projects

When them stakes is high, you damn sure try

To do anything to get the piece of the pie

Electrify, even die for the cash

But at last, you be out even though you wantin' more

This issue is closed like an elevator door

But soon reopened once we get to the next floor, where the (what's that? Uh, the-)

Vibe, vibrations

Stakes is high (higher than high)

You know them stakes is high

When you dealin' with the vibe, vibrations

Stakes is high (higher than high)

Stakes is high (come on)

Vibe, vibrations
