like a card dealer
a real wheeeler-dealer
i ain't no feeler

here i stand
or maybe it's where i sit
maybe that's it
understand

i'm just tryin' not to see
this old man's just an also ran
tryin' not to see
the way i am

so i shuffle
i hustle
i tussle

i shuffle
you cut
then i deal
the cards are sometimes hard
ain't that true pard

ya' get what's ya' got
sometime a good hand
sometimes not
thanks a lot

sometimes a full house
or a a pair a 3's
that's how life be
sometimes a straight
sometimes
aces & 8's

problem is when you get aces
you get greedy
then ya' just read more to it than what's there
just a card game
none be the same

drawin'
a dead man's hand
still gotta' understand
the game
it ain't never the same
you get what you got
sometimes it's good
sometimeds it's not
sometimes you can play
sometimes you bluff
'enuff a that stuff

play the hand you're dealt
feel the life that's been felt
sometimes you let yourself deal
play the the cards ya' feel
sometimes ya' win
sometimes you lose
sometimes
it's just a draw

aw shaw
you be who u are

sometimes
you're hollerin'
at the passin' a' time

sometime
the rytrhmn don't match the rhyme

sometimes
you couldn't buy a dime
with a dollar

sometimes
ya' just what holler &
scream

know what i mean?

sometimes you play
just passin' the day away
it's just the way
the cards lay

sometimes you gamble
on love or life
sometimes
ya' get a wife
cuts like a knife
aw...hell that ain't too much strife
that's just life
and havin' a wife

bu sometime you shuffle
sometimes ya win
but then again
sometimes you lose

boo-hoo's
cry's
& questions why

but that's just time
passin' bye
so don't question why

just live
before you die

(smile)
