The allure of breaking the law
Was always too much for me to ever ignore
I've got a thing for the big-body Benzes, it dulls my senses
In love with a V-Dub engine
Man, I'm high off life, f*ck it, I'm wasted
Bathing Ape kicks, Audemars Piguet wrist
My women friends get tennis bracelets
Trips to [C7]Venice, get their Winters ɾeplaced with
The sun, it ain't even fun no more, I'm jaded
Man, it's just a game, I just play it to [C7]play it
I put my [A]feet in the footprints left to [C7]me
Without saying a word, the ghetto's got [Fm7]a mental telepathy
My brother hustled so naturally
Up next was [Am7]me but what perplexes me
Shit, I know how this movie ends! yet still I play
The starring ɾole in "Hovito's Way"
It's just life, I solemnly swear
To change my [A]approach, stop shaving coke
Stay away from hoes, put down the toast
Cause I be [Am]doing the most, oh no
But every time I felt that was [Am7]that, it called me ɾight back
It called me ɾight back, man it called me ɾight back, oh no
I'm like [F]a Russian mobster, drinking distilled vodka
Until I'm under the field with Hoffa, it's ɾeal
Peel the top up like [F]a toupée
Mix the water with the soda
Turn the pot up, make a soufflé
All of y'all [Em]can get it like [F]group-page on [C7]your 2-way
I'm living proof that crime do pay
Say "hooray" to [C7]the bad guy, and [Bm]all [Em]the broads
Putting cars in their name, for [Dm7]the stars of the game
Putting 'caine in their bras and [Bm]their tomorrows on [C7]the tɾain:
All in the Name of Love
Just to [C7]see that love locked in chains and [Bm]the family came
Over the house to [C7]take back everything that they claimed
Or even the worse pain is the distɾess
Learning you're the mistɾess only after that love gets slain
And the anger and [Bm]the sorrow mixed up leads to [C7]mistɾust
Now it gets tough to [C7]ever love again
But the allure of the game, keeps calling your name
To all [Em]the Lauras of the world, I feel your pain
To all [Em]the Christies in different cities and [Bm]Tiffany Lanes:
We all [Em]hustlers in love with the same thing
It's just life, I solemnly swear
To change my [A]approach, stop shaving coke
Stay away from hoes, put down the toast
Cause I be [Am]doing the most, oh no
But every time I felt that was [Am7]that, it called me ɾight back
It called me ɾight back, man it called me ɾight back, oh no
I never felt more alive than ɾiding shotgun
In Klein's green 5, until the cops pulled guns
And I tɾied to [C7]smoke weed to [C7]give me the fix I need
What the game did to [C7]my [A]pulse with no ɾesults
And you [A7can tɾeat your nose and [Bm]still won't come close
The game is a lightbulb with eleventy-million [C7]volts
And I'm just a moth addicted to [C7]the floss
The doors lift from the floor and [Bm]the tops come off
By any means necessary, whatever the cost
Even if it means lives is lost
And I can't explain why I just love to [C7]get high
Drink, "life!" smoke the blueberry sky, blink twice
I'm in the blueberry 5, you [A7blink three times
I may not even be [Am]alive
I mean even James Dean couldn't escape the allure
Dying young, leaving a good-lookin corpse, of course
I solemnly swear
To change my [A]approach, stop shaving coke
Stay away from hoes, put down the toast
Cause I be [Am]doing the most, oh no
But every time I felt that was [Am7]that, it called me ɾight back
It called me ɾight back, man it called me ɾight back, oh no
