Ace Of Spades If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man, You win some, lose some, all the same to me, The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say, I don't share your greed, the only card I need is The Ace Of Spades
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil, Going with the flow, it's all the same to me, Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you, Double up or quit, double stake or split, The Ace Of Spades
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools, But that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live for ever, And don't forget the joker!
Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me, Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again, I see it in your eyes, take one look and die, The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be, The Ace Of Spades
Huh! Down on the street Where the faces shine. Floatin' around I'm A real low mind. See a pretty thing - ain't no wall. See a pretty thing - ain't no wall. No wall, No wall, No wall. Uuh! Yeah deep in the night I'm lost in love. Yeah deep in the night I'm lost in love. A thousand lights Look at you. A thousand lights Look at you. I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm lost - yeah. Huh Faces shine - real low mind. Real low mind. I'm a real low mind. Real low mind
[Bilal - Chorus] Ohhh... Everything's gone be alright If you play your cards right Everything's gone be alright...
[Common - Verse 1] It's do or die, your looking through the eye of a revolver I revolve around the world, a problem solver Alter your ego, and the way your walkin' Talk to people, still I stay regal Read through the bullshit Sometime to make peace, you need a full clip Roll dice with niggas who got bricks at a good price Talk shit, give good advice, rollin' through the 'hood right It's the good life, like T.I. said Gettin' it, how could I not be fed Get bread, get dough, get fed, get mo' In the old school Lincoln, thinking I sit low 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
[Bilal - Chorus 1 (repeat 2x)] If you play (if you play), your cards right (cards right) Everything... gone be alright (well... alright (3x))
[Common - Verse 2] I ain't playin' 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, givin' 'em darker love Make 'em strip, like poker poker mag in his face You tried to smoke my ace, you know the stakes It's high like the ace is Get your squad face down like cards, before they get a facelift You get robbed, better yet jacked for diamonds Leave you victimless, like Jack in "Shining" Blocked your bluff, now your respect is stolen Took your chips, led my guys in Texas Hold 'Em Rolled the strips of Vegas, with money boss players Stacey Adams of different flavors, we major Gangstas and hustles, living moviestar life Dealt a bad hand, but I played my cards right
[Bilal - Chorus 1 (repeat 2x)] If you play (if you play), your cards right (cards right) Everything... gone be alright (well... alright (3x))
[Bilal - Chorus 2 (repeat 2x)] Ohh... If you play (if you play), your cards right (cards right) Everything's... gone be alright (well... alright (3x))
[Bilal - Accapella] Yeah... Ohhh...
Everything's gone be alright, if you play your cards right Everything's gone be alright...
Behold our beloved revels in tragedy(in tragedy) Self-denying avarice for bloodshed Behold hypocrite
Those who run will be burned
Devoutly wished for blinded eyes This tragedy's like light to flies This seems to suit you better bleeding out the eyes (bleeding out the eyes) hope's left in chain suspension, Holding onto lies to make the truth
