The Game of Life

"Yeah, street poetry. This is for the person who's going through it right now you know.
and anybody thats ever been in that point in life...where you think its Game Over.
The more pain, the more alive you are right now."

I take the time to dedicate this to the one's that
Live their life but in a way they won't come back (Rest in Peace)
I stay sipping on corona like the thing to do
Realize that this is life what's it mean to you??
I got another baby she's getting big now
Walk around like nothing's wrong with a big smile (Thats right)
My primo Negró got deported se desespera
Next year he's gona miss his daughter's quinceañera
My Tia Lili had an accident, sad to say
My little five year old cousin had to pass away
One week later dicen que de tristeza
My tia Lili passed away god bless her
Let's just say that this is real, let me talk to them
Uhhh homie Chubs'll probably never get to walk again
Now this is not what I imagined when I pictured life (Not at all)
If this the mixtape imagine what the album's like


Una madrecita she got seven boys
Six of them have passed away they're my homeboys
The Pachardo brothers, yo explain this
How's a mother supposed to cope with losing six kids?? (No Way)
My cuñado just got passed a bunch of negatives
He had a baby after seven miscarriages
And now he's happy with his son having fun
While the little homies getting too spun (This is real life)
I got the vision that'll show you what the world is like (Yeah)
Think about that when you're chilling with your girl tonight
Anything can happen, faith is just a weapon
Life can really change dramatically, one second
Maybe family's all you got but if not
Maybe family's just a thought of something that you're not
So while you question life, you gotta get those answers
This for my homie that just lost his mom to cancer


I know this luck is bad, but I can let it go (Yeah)
My homie Busy's doing sixty years in Mexico (What's up dog)
I got a brother that I never met (Never)
Its not my fault but I'm the only one that feels regret (It seems that way)
But I was some one's son, thanks to my Abuelos (Mis Jeffitos)
I learned to love, I learned to live sin tener sellos (Thats Right)
This life is like a book and this the next chapter
Nothing but blood sweat and tears and a lot of laughter (That's life)
I know it's not perfect
But all you gotta do is keep your head above surface (Yeah)
I'm hoping that one day things'll turn around for me
Focus on my music, I like the way that sounds homie
Gotta stay positive I know it gets difficult
Now I understand that my life is not typical (Hell na)
Yeah I'm getting older and I kinda see how life is
Every single chapter of my life has a crisis


The Game is Called Life
I know it's not perfect but anyway I can I'm gona make it all worth it
The game is called life
As long as I can breathe ima keep my inspiration in the people that believe
The game is called life
And when you get this over I promise that its just another page flipping over
The game is called life
Of course it gets tough but you can't give up now you've been through too much
The Game is Called Life

"I mean, you're the strongest person I know right now. You gotta keep fighting you know.
Been through too much. Ey, The Game Is Called Life."
