Dope Game by T.I. Lyrics
[Intro]
What I learned from the dope game
[Verse 1]
If I learned one thing 'bout the dope game
Put shit pay now, nigga, even if you ridin' with 'em
And when they learn what you got in your couch at the spot
That how lame niggas get shot
If I learned one thing, about the dope game
It's niggas ain't shit and bitches ain't neither
Real nigga never gon' rat
And never gon' leave without a Heater
What I learned from the dope game
Don't mix weed, cocaine, they ain't with you for the smoke, man
Get you an elbow of head bands, take it to the head, man
Fuck what all them sucker niggas said
What I learned from the dope game
Trust no nigga no time, even when a homeboy co-sign
So he say he got a coke line, don't be talkin' like that on your line
That how you get more time
What I learned from the dope game
With big risk, low reward though, the more you get away, the more, you can afford more
Dress up like you goin' to award shows
But if you live by the sword, dyin' by it, better know it
What I learned 'bout the dope game
Is how to take a lil of that and turn it into somethin'
You could bestow another woman
Start hustling the spring, by the summer, you'd be stuntin'
Sheesh, get your baby and your baby mama on some money, shit die Louis, twelve hunnid
What I learned from the dope game
If you trappin', make it happen
And word never overrule action
[Hook]
What I learned from the dope game is what I know
What I learn what I know
What I learned from the dope game that what I know
That what I learn what I know
[Verse 2]
What I learned from the dope game
We recognise, never talk about it
Like how to make a million out of crack house
No, and you ain't need to know that
'Cause you probably been in jail, you don't wanna go back
And jail givin' years like the number on the throwback
But you already know that
What I learned 'bout the dope game
Shit, quite sober
You don't never trap without an umbrella
And don't believe the judge can try and tell you what you give him
If he ain't got no money then all he said is, "I'm finna"
What I learned 'bout the dope game
Take shit from no nigga
And never go to sleep around a stripper
When niggas come to get you, the bullet miss you, it whistle
Nigga, go get nigga the issue
What I learned 'bout the dope game
Hard work ain't God work
When you feed your family off of hard work
Try to go to church, keep God first
Stray bullet put you in a hearse
What I learned 'bout the dope game
A nigga gon' talk
If it ain't a bank roll, take a walk
And give a damn what a sucker nigga thought
Fuck around, get knocked off
What I learned 'bout the dope game
Broken life, broken home
A generation full of rollin' stones
Even though I'm grown
Wait for the nigga still got it goin' on
[Hook]
What I learned from the dope game is what I know
What I learn what I know
What I learned from the dope game that what I know
That what I learn what I know
What I learned from the dope game
What I learned from the dope game
[Verse 1]
If I learned one thing 'bout the dope game
Put shit pay now, nigga, even if you ridin' with 'em
And when they learn what you got in your couch at the spot

It's niggas ain't shit and bitches ain't neither
Real nigga never gon' rat
And never gon' leave without a Heater
