blackjack Lyrics

- Meaning
[Chorus]
It's a gamble like blackjack, rollin' the dice
Hundreds in my bag just to cover my vice
Niggas throwin' shade, tryna block the daylight
Money don't make you real, that's on my life (Money don't make you real, that's on my life)
Had to pop a pill, hop on the mic (Yeah, hop on the mic)
Lot of shit to deal with but we'll be a'ight
I'm a lion in the field, I ain't no mice (Lion in the field, I ain't no mice)
[Verse 1]
Won't play with you in real life, niggas softer than cotton
It don't matter if you fucked up, they'll still count your pockets
I'ma keep on chasin' these millions, niggas been crackin' right (I'ma keep on chasin' these millions, niggas been crackin' right)
Glasses from Loewe, they ain't come from Cavalli
I go Ricky, I go Balenci', used to rock the Zanottis
We overseas, l'm in my D, with bae massagin' my body
It's the real bluscotti when we smoke, la di da di
When Gunna get high, he high like 2 Scotty Hotty
It's gon' be a bill for me to perform at your party
I can't do no deals at all, I don't want a bargain
[Chorus]
It's a gamble like blackjack, rollin' the dice (Roll 'em)
Hundreds in my bag just to cover my vice
Niggas throwin' shade, tryna block the daylight
Money don't make you real, that's on my life (Money don't make you real, that's on my life)
Had to pop a pill, hop on the mic (Yeah, hop on the mic)
Lot of shit to deal with but we'll be a'ight
I'm a lion in the field, I ain't no mice (Lion in the field, I ain't no mice)
[Verse 2]
If I don't get no new deal, I find a plug to the socket
I know how to save, we used to be slaves and we can't pick no more cotton
I have my days, I get in my ways, but I don't fuck with nobody (I have my days, I get in my ways, but I don't fuck with nobody)
Life is not a game, so what the fuck is so funny?
My bitch Serena, she play with these racks, we fell in love with this money
When I'm in Pari, I'm with the designers, like to call me Giovanni
Any of you niggas want it, man, just know that I'm ready
Niggas fucked me over, I know you gon' regret it
Ain't nobody gassin' me, I know I'm unleaded
Wunna gon' stay focused, every day on these addies
[Chorus]
It's a gamble like blackjack, rollin' the dice
Hundreds in my bag just to cover my vice
Niggas throwin' shade, tryna block the daylight
Money don't make you real, that's on my life (Money don't make you real, that's on my life)
Had to pop a pill, hop on the mic (Yeah, hop on the mic)
Lot of shit to deal with but we'll be a'ight
I'm a lion in the field, I ain't no mice (Lion in the field, I ain't no mice)
