Card Shark

(Phanatik)
 Listen man, what you listenin' to?
 Pick a hand, any hand will do
 Then pick a card and listen hard
 And tell me which is God and which is not
 First up you got the Jack of spades
 Now this cat is like a jack of trades
 He'll fascinate you with his accolades
 And fabricate about the cash he's made
 Juggles stories like a balancing act
 No job - a brotha's too talented for that
 Gives just to get
 Watch his gimmicks and tricks cause Jack be nimble and Jack be quick
 Not just to jump a candle stick
 But in a jumpin' jack flash Jack will run a scandal quick
 No friends - even his fams holds back
 And every time he shows up they're like "Hit the road, Jack!"
 Now put him back in the deck
 Let me shuffle it
 Now cut the deck, let's see what you get
 Make sure the crowd has seen what it was
 Right now we're dealin' with the Queen of Clubs
 Steppin' out dressed to kill
 The name of the game is sex appeal
 She knows if she can get 'em to look
 Long and hard enough well then the brotha is hooked
 And once he's hooked then how much will he bend?
 The goal is to try find out how much will he spend
 It's not just that she needs more in her purse
 She's really just try'n to find out how much is she worth
 So every look, every glance means something
 I mean, if they want her that must mean she's something
 How else will she ever know?
 So every time they open up the club then she's just got to go
 You're probably wonderin' "What's this shiny thing?"
 This card here is for the Diamond King
 He's the one with all the shine and bling
 From rims to brims he rocks the finer things
 You can always see him step on the block
 He's got to show off and show all of the stuff that he's got
 It's needless how he teases the kids
 The kids think they have to bling like the Diamond King did
 And he says he's been "blessed" with his wealth
 But not to help others he just blesses his self
 Burns through money like fire through wood
 And only earns more money to acquire more goods
 He sits back as he looks at his rack- of clothes
 Hats and sneakers and jackets that match
 Chains and all his shiny things from the store
 And somehow it's not enough and so he's searching for more
 (Bridge)
 Alright folks, this is the part of the show
 Where you can leave now and grab a parting gift at the door
 For participating, but these cards came in a party of four
 And the last card hasn't been played it's only partially showin'
 The last card hasn't been played it's only partially showin' (Ohhhh)
 The last card hasn't been played it's only partially showin' (Yoooo)
 The last card hasn't been played it's only partially showin' (Noooo)
 The last card hasn't been played it's only partially showin'

 Listen man, what'chu listenin' to?
 Pick a hand, any hand will do
 Then pick a card and listen hard
 And tell me which is God and which is not
 You shouldn't have to think too hard
 To guess that the next card would be the King of hearts
 He's the one they look to to put things back together after things fall apart
 He's a specialist -
 Especially when it comes to getting inside of a heart and testin' it
 Messin' with all parameters
 Call examiners with X-ray machines - to Him they all are amateurs
 He knows the inner workings, searching
 The deep things of it like what it loves, then He's surfacing the real issues
 Such as how the heart feels about things like Him in particular
 And He labels it sin
 When the heart beats more for anything then it does for Him
 So next time your heart's racing
 Try replacing what you're chasing with Him and then embrace Him
 Takes the Spirit of God to do that -
 Make a man trade his spades and become a new Jack
 In fact after a cat's born a-gain
 A brotha' like little Jack'll warn a
 Sista like the Queen of Clubs
 That next to the King of Hearts these dudes in the Club are scrubs
 Yeah they tossin' her a couple of dubbs
 But Christ outdid them and outbid them all with His blood
 And He outshines the Diamond King
 No necklace - His essence is pure bling
 Ice ain't worth a thing
 Your shine don't hurt the King
 If I was you I'd start worshiping
 But watch out for the joker cause the joker plays wild
 With his pitchfork poker and his poker face smile
 But the dealer is a healer and he's also a pro
 A card shark at hard hearts and that's the end of the show
