Yeah, I'm about to fill you all in on some things
ya know what I'm sayin



See what you don't know aint nothin but one big
gamble



It's like a big ol' roulette wheel you know what
I'm sayin



But peep this



I'm abut to put you all up on this story



It's about this youngster



Strugglin, strivin, doing what he thought had to
be done



So Check this out







 (Verse 1)



He was only a youngster



Strapped between two foundations



Father was a minister



Mother worked for the board of education



He had the will to do right but peer pressure
took his grip



A long trip down that dirty road he's about to
flip



School became unimportant so he dropped out



Started following the wrong influences, he can't
stop now



Caught up in the hustlin,servin small time at
first 



Started buyin jewels tryin to prove his self
work



His mom could only hang her head and pray for a
change



Dreadin the call that would say they found her
son's remains



You could see it in him, million dollar signs in
his eyes



His office was the drive, his bank was the
ride



Run-ins with the police of course you knew that
would come



He bought a strap, that's another youngster with
a gun



So now I guess this boy think he tough right



He had some words with somebody, pulled his
heater last night



I guess he feels he gotta do what he gotta do



Different situations call for different actions
dude



I hope for the best



For his moms sake



It would be a shame to see another youngster put
in an early grave







(Chorus)



Life is a gamble



We don't know what tomorrow may bring



Life is a gamble



Could today be the last we see



Life is a gamble



I've got to do the things that must be done



Life is a gamble



Cuz I have responsibility







(Verse 2)



He arises from his sleep unaware of the gal layin
next to him



All that bumpin last night got his mind ruined



Still persuing the ultimate dream of getting his
money right



At anyone's expense on any given day or night



Checks his pager to see what's popping on his
block



Just some pennies but his boy informs him of a
plot



Here's the scheme



Take money from an institution



We can get major bread in 20 seconds, just listen
to me



You'll drive the car and I'll run on in



When I come out we'll have big wood to spend
daddy



Aight he's all for it, thinking of his kids



It's been a drought for a minute so he's gotta
handle his buiz.



At the spot, his boy runs in ,demands the
bread



"Give me all the loot unless you want this
teller dead"



Out the door, to the car, hit it, then they speed
off



Unaware that the police ha already been keyed
off



About two miles down the street the cop slows
in



All this led to a five year sentence in the
pen.



I guess god said "enough's enough I'll slow
his role some,



Give him a little time to see what type of man
he'll become"







(Chorus)







(Verse 3)



Release date, a long bus ride home



After four and a half long years a lot of his
homies are gone



Either dead or in jail but they aint there no
more



i guess it's true, we ?? what we saw



He's got a little brother workin on his album
now



Gets to the crib, calls him up, "hey what's
up pal"



"Ya headin to the studio, well aight
then"



"Give me an hour to get my self together,
I'll slide in"



He had all this talent but never channeled it



Could he go a starightened arrow or could he
handle it



His decision



His brother asked him to drop a verse



Sees his boy, "damn I see you're still
puttin in work"



The rest is history as they say "my oh my
this kid has came along way"



God decided he didn't have to die for his
mistakes



Just suffer a bit, to get his mind straight



I guess some gamblers are worth it if in the
end



The big picture comes into focus, so you can
win



This kid has been blessed, in a major way



The trip is, I see him in the mirror everyday







(Chorus) X 2
