Score Lyrics - Singles - Dead Prez

Know what I'm sayin 

Life is like a game of basketball 

They just want niggas to run jump and shoot 

chorus: 

The game of life is a struggle to survive 

We live to win cause if we lose than we die 

verse 1: 

What's the word for the day homeboy 

It ain't nothin but this livin shit 

Tryin to get this money right quick 

You know how it is 

Nigga tryin to eat food and live smoke weed 

Payin rent on my crib so I can breathe 

Life is not about the quickest speed 

What you achieve 

Come degree by degree 

And what you get is what you see 

In your mind visually 

And manifest physically 

If you stick to it shit'll work out terrificly 

Take me, everyday my life be hectic and stressful 

Never really know if im'a ever be successful 

But the best things you get out of life require struggle 

If it don't you gettin hustled homeboy 

You gettin hustled 

How I see it 

Anything you wanna be you can be it 

If your mind can preceive it 

And your heart really believe it 

Than you half way there and all you got to do is do it 

And if you give it all you got there ain't really 

Nothin' to it 

Chorus 

Score, this ain't no game this is war 

Score, this ain't no game this is war 

Score, this ain't no game this is war 

Score, this ain't no game this is war 

(talking in background) 

Get your fucking heads in the game, please! 

This season don't mean nothin if we lose this! 

word up 

Verse 2: 

As a, black boy 

Started out a bundle of joy 

but quickly I grew playin with toys 

Than you started makin noise as a youth 

Tryin to figure out the truth 

Behind the shit that the schools ain't tellin 

First come rebellin, then come drug sellin 

Juvenile court, 'cause you too young to be a felon 

Knew that everything around you was yours 

But you gotta maintain the game of wealth that the 

World has in store 

A wise man told you before 

You got the power to bring things to life black boy 

You can test it 

Everything you see is just a thought manifested 

But before you had a chance to know that 

You got arrested 

And it all seems clear to you know, you can breathe 

It was different 

When you couldn't see the forest from the trees 

If you follow your dreams you can accomplish anything 

If you always do your best then your destiny is king 

Of the world 

Chorus 

People don't let life, no no 

Don't let life mislead you 

You have the power 

People don't let life 

Don't let life deceive you 

You have the power 

Yeah, score this ain't no game this is war 

Score, this ain't no game this is war 

Score, this ain't no game this is war 

Score, this ain't no game this is war 

Verse 3: 

Life is like twistin' a blunt, it's how you roll with it 

Just figure out what you want and go and get it 

anybody tryin' to stop you 

For tryin to do for you 

That's your enemy dun 

The sun be right up in your crew 

That's true 

Life is a thinking mans game 

Use your head for it 

Ain't no use in bein scared a shit 

If you prepared for it 

Go for what you know good 

This whole wide world is your hood 

Plus the universe 

Cause you was on the planet first 

Score, this ain't no game this is war X4 

Chorus 

People don't let life, no no 

Don't let life mislead you 

You have the power 

People don't let life 

Don't let life deceive you 

You have the power 

Just use your power 

Don't be a fool 

Don't ever lose your cool 

You got the power
