Blackstreet shooting dice with the reaper as he sketches blueprints with his scythe

lyrics

(Tali)
Some say I play too much…play with what? play with guns…
Play with dice…flagrant luck…4-5-6…Made a buck
Play with knives…made the cut…serrated spine…filleted the duck…
Playing spades….dug their sunken faces when I played the trump…
Playing Yahtzee with the posse till we face the sun…
Go to sleep…awake from slumber…play the numbers…pray to son…
Father and the holy spirit…sike…I just play for fun…
Might just play some Yanni…find a sample and…lace some drums…
Play loose with the rules…i'm a naughty dude…
Properly or sloppily…either way I play…I win…capicu….
Asked your favorite speaker for a verse…he said he’s dropping two…
Played a snippet for the reaper..said he’s probably copping too…
Scythe sharp with the fine art…don’t be shocked when I rock the Louvre
Till then…I have naught to lose…and I am not amused…
If I had a knot for every mom and pop who made an excuse
I wouldn’t still be here on this backstreet…Playing the blues…

(Kofa)
Stream of consciousness is more a flash flood of fears
Exsanguinate the pen as soon as any cut appears
Every track attractive in a special way, my tractor beam
Just before the shattered shrapnel crackles, watch the glass careen
My tactics lean tapping on the glass a ghost in shoes
Just when you think the coast is clear, we erode the dunes
A trove of goons inside a treasure chest that’s rusted closed
Wisdom from experience that knowledge says i must have known
But until I live them, words are just some sounds they make
Wishing well pennies cast inside a fountain gray
I keep my counsel safe, circle tiny, lonely speck
Just a dot inside this universe I lurch with molten breath
The dice is rolled again, behold the tent above the graves
Survive the cold and then, the souls that spent a rusted blade
Percussive ways, enough grenades to take away the pain
But the armory guitar that weeps in diesel makes it stain
