That's How I Roll The Dice


That's How I Roll The Dice Knock on wood I'm back in the hood Acting like the late famed Natalie Wood Life sure ain't what it used to be In fact it's a bit of a mystery Many live it out how they see in misery Bu that's not living in reality Yet we came this far not to turn around Can't turn back when your hands on the plow Many give up way to early Try to change the actual story But i still live for my lord up above Many thoughts get swept underneath the rug i'm just looking for love and a big hug People are strange when your a stranger Out on your own in immediate danger Yet that's how i roll Getting caught in its undertow We have every right to know Inside we hide behind four walls that bind Society once could see but today they are actually blind you can have everything you want but be empty inside That's how i roll see you on the flip side
