They say life is a gamble
I then seen my whole world in shambles
But I ain't been through nothing I can't handle
Turn the ghost from my past into Phantom
I just betted on me
(Hmm hmm hmmm)
I just betted on me
(Hmm hmm hmmm)
I just betted on me
(Hmm hmm hmmm)
I just betted on me
(Hmm hmm hmmm)
We was talking aim
With our scopes to the sky
We all about the bread niggas toast to the guys
Put the smoke to the side and learn to cope if I die
The only Mary that we hail to and spoke to was Blige
Mostly what my father tried to tell me was right
I narrowly escaped what could derail me for life
I told my nigga Kenny that I wanna be a giant
He responded that you can't be LT without the white
We watched it rain gun shells
When others wasn't eligible like Bron
Behind the Unseld
I bear the weight of naysayers knowing that I run, Gale
I bait em on the information knowing they would run tell, they run tell
We use to dabble round threats and murderous statements
Now we want the R-I double A certifications
Flying high create the space for turbulent places
Now we somewhere watching love just merger with hatred
They say life is a gamble
I then seen my whole world in shambles
But I ain't been through nothing I can't handle
Turn the ghost from my past into Phantom
I just betted on me
(Hmm hmm hmmm)
I just betted on me
(Hmm hmm hmmm)
I just betted on me
(Hmm hmm hmmm)
I just betted on me
(Hmm hmm hmmm)
Have you ever had a nigga tell you he gone kill you
I rhyme in retrospect about some shit a nigga still do
Charismatic smile have them questioning the real you
Cuz everything you heard it either happened or it's still true
Ten toes down
With a chance of getting tags on you
Even when you in the bucket
Still got crabs on you
If your mouth carry on they will put bags on you
Appreciate the riches when you once had rags on you
Nation brothers that was once consumed with Muhammad
Turn astronaut specialize in moon rocks and comet
But the aftershock of niggas getting knocked got me conscious
Then I relapse on days I resume to a monster
They say life is a gamble
I then seen my whole world in shambles
But I ain't been through nothing I can't handle
Turn the ghost from my past into Phantom
I just betted on me
(Hmm hmm hmmm)
I just betted on me
(Hmm hmm hmmm)
I just betted on me
(Hmm hmm hmmm)
I just betted on me
(Hmm hmm hmmm)
