Put your money out the mattress, place your bid
Put it all on the cap with the flap
[?]
[?] with a stack, proud of where I’m from
Now I sound the checks, back and the front
I used to play shows free, now I make double nickles
[?] might hit ’em with the triple
Hard to stay humble when you work this hard
They tell you shoot for the moon but I was born a star
I’ll deal the hand with no dirty tricks
No nothing’s ever changed
Always scheming to take my money
And that ain’t going away
That’s why they dealt me in and said they love me
Now sign your life away
Better play it through the bone boy, don’t wanna go home boy
As long as you’re in the game, now hit me
Hear that dirty road about to talk and get rough
Then twists and turns you, mercy, burns you cuts
Laid down some cards and made it hard on myself
But it ain’t gon’ change not a damn thing
Just be able to hand out this deal
Got them
[?] boots, got some Levi jeans
A couple middle fingers flying for the world to see
Told them hang around a minute, we gon’ give ’em a show
About to get it, get it popping, sh** they’re rocking our boat
Like a
[?] in the wind
‘Bout to take it
[?]
Right up next to nothing when we came out the case
Me and
[?] took a loan so the bank would get paid
So just give it up big boy and free my song
But they gain nothing for free, boy, indeed I know
Was it a lardy-dardy life, ain’t no party
Keep it here to the grind, don’t sh** nobody
Keep your workboots on, don’t die in your sleep
[?] don’t sh** where you eat
Keep that ace in the hole with the one-eyed jack
When life hits low you can hit right back, now hit me
Hear that dirty road about to talk and get rough
Then twists and turns you, mercy, burns you cuts
Laid down some cards and made it hard on myself
But it ain’t gon’ change not a damn thing
Just be able to hand out this deal
You wanna play the game with me boy
You better learn to play it right
‘Cause when the cards lay down if we ain’t around
Then the cards ain’t shuffled right
And when they call your bluff you gon’ realize
There’s a dead man’s hand right before your eyes
(Now hit me) You should have seen the tail
You’ve been played by the hand that I dealt (Uh, yeah)
k** ’em in the game, a hot son of a b**h
With my finger flying high at everything that they pitch
‘Cause if the skipper ain’t steering then the boat won’t sail
I’m the ace in the hole so you can ride on my coat tail
Termites biting and they’re coming out the woodwork
[?] they could borrow everything I ever stood for
[?] right one, let one loose
Watch me Chris Kyle any dealer I choose
It’s a long, long road when you’re made to walk that line
Through the twists and turns and the cuts and burns but your boy gon’ be just fine
When the smoke all clears and the scars all heal, don’t tell me how I feel
‘Cause I wouldn’t change not one damn thing, I’m just playing the cards I was dealt
Check ’em out, now hit me
Hear that dirty road about to talk and get rough
Then twists and turns you, mercy, burns you cuts
Laid down some cards and made it hard on myself
But it ain’t gon’ change not a damn thing
Just be able to hand out this deal
