MAKE THE BEST OF THE HAND YOU HAVE

lyrics

You gotta play the cards you was dealt you can't choose
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Just play strategic
No matter the situation be wiser when you leave it
You gotta play the cards you was dealt you can't choose
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Just play strategic
No matter the situation be wiser when you leave it

Am I living my best life naw can't say that
But this the hand i was dealt so I gotta play it 
It feels awful to have no books
Stuck with a hand full of possibles
But anything can happen if your play the cards right
So tonight I'll delight
In the fact that I gave it my best shot
Tomorrow's another day... I may win, I may not
Anything can happen if your play the cards right
So tonight I'll delight
In the fact that I gave it my best shot
Tomorrow's another day... I may win, I may not

You gotta play the cards you was dealt you can't choose
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Just play strategic
No matter the situation be wiser when you leave it
You gotta play the cards you was dealt you can't choose
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Just play strategic
No matter the situation be wiser when you leave it

You never know which way the dice'll role 
You can bet it all and lose your soul
When them devils start talking be resilient
They never giving up they too persistent
Keep tryin if ya want I'm never gonna fold
Cuz I know all glitters ain't gold
I play my hand like a Vegas vet
Feel the table heating up so place your bets

You gotta play the cards you was dealt you can't choose
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Just play strategic
No matter the situation be wiser when you leave it
You gotta play the cards you was dealt you can't choose
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Just play strategic
No matter the situation be wiser when you leave it

Life ain't white & black Jack
Domino 
You gotta spin the wheel of chance
Roulette
It'd been keen yo if you didn't crap out
It's you against the house baccarat

You gotta play the cards you was dealt you can't choose
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Just play strategic
No matter the situation be wiser when you leave it
You gotta play the cards you was dealt you can't choose
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose
Just play strategic
No matter the situation be wiser when you leave it
