 Stakes Is High
 You know them Stakes Is High
 The instamatic focal point bringing damage to your borough
 Be some brothers from the east with them beats that be thorough
 Got the solar gravitation so I'm bound to pull it
 I gets down like brothers are found ducking from bullets
 Gun control means using both hands in my land
 Where it's all about the cautious livin'
 Migrating to a higher form of consequence, compliments
 Of strugglin', that shouldn't be notable
 Man every word I say should be a hip hop quotable
 I'm sick of bitches shakin' asses
 I'm sick of talkin' 'bout blunts, sick of Versace glasses
 Sick of slang, sick of half-ass awards shows
 Sick of name brand clothes
 Sick of R&B bitches over bullshit tracks
 Cocaine and crack, which brings sickness to blacks
 Sick of swoll head rappers with their sicker than raps
 Clappers of gats, makin' the whole sick world collapse
 The facts are gettin' sick, even sicker perhaps
 Stickabush to make a bundle to escape this synapse
 Man, life can get all up in your ass, baby, you betta work it out
 Let me tell you what it's all about
 A skin not considered equal
 A meteor has more right than my people
 Who be wastin' time screaming who they've hated
 That's why the Native Tongues has officially been re-instated

 Man them Stakes Is High
 (What about that love?)
 Yo, it's about love of cars, love for funds
 Loving to love mad sex, loving to love guns
 Love for opposite, love for fame and wealth
 Love for the fact of no longer loving yourself, kid
 We living in them days of the man-made ways
 Where every aspect is vivid
 These brothers no longer talk shit
 Hey yo, these niggas live it
 Plug One translating the zone
 No offense to a player, but yo, I don't play
 And if you take offense, fuck it, got to be that way
 J.D. Dove, show your love, what you got to say?
 I say G's are making figures at a high regard
 And niggas dying for it nowadays ain't odd
 Investing in fantasies and not God
 Welcome to reality, see times is hard
 People try to snatch the credit, but can't claim the card
 Showing out in videos, saying they co-starred
 See, shit like that will make your mama cry
 Better watch the way you spend it cause the

 Man them Stakes Is High
 I think that smiling in public is against the law (what?)
 Cause love don't get you through life no more
 It's who you know and "How you, son?"
 And how you gettin' in, and who the man holding heat
 Yo, and how was the skins and how high
 Yo what up, huh? I heard you caught a body
 Seem like every man and woman shared a life with John Gotti
 But they ain't organized!
 Mixing crimes with life enzymes
 Taking the big scout route and niggas know doubt
 Better than they know their daughters and their sons
 (Oh boy)
 Yo, people go through pain and still don't gain
 Positive contact just like my main man
 Who got others cleaning up his physical and fluids
 His mind got congested
 He got the nine and blew it
 Neighborhoods are now hoods cause nobody's neighbors
 Just animals surviving with that animal behavior
 Under I. who be rhyming from dark to light sky
 Experiments when needles and skin connect
 No wonder where we live is called the projects
 When them Stakes Is High you damn sure try to do
 Anything to get the piece of the pie
 Electrify, even die for the cash
 But at last I be out even though you wantin' more
 This issue is closed like an elevator door
 But soon re-opened once we get to the next floor where the
