The Numbers Game Lyrics

I'm talking people about the same old game
Their running them numbers and the winners never change
The dice is loaded, the deck is stacked
The game itself will hold you back

Check out your mind and don't be blind
To the numbers game
What I say

Don't be in the dark all by yourself
Don't play the hand that the dealer has dealt
We're cashing out 'cause it's time to sell
Taking back the power, gonna share that wealth
Come on now

Check out your mind and don't be blind
To the numbers game
What I say

I'm talking people about respect
Baby you can't win when you place that bet, come on now
The dice is loaded, the deck is stacked
The game itself will surely hold you back

Check out your mind and don't be blind
To the numbers game
Check out your mind and don't be blind
To the numbers game

Let's get hip on this
So you won't slip on this
See you gotta get hip on this
So you won't trip on this

To the numbers
To the numbers game

Check out your mind and don't be blind
To the numbers game
Check out your mind and don't be blind
To the numbers game
