FISHERMAN


(Just)
Almost everyone I know, they try to stack chips
One false move, and it all disappears quick
And that’s the good and the bad,
How the cards fall
Taking everything you have
I’m not no pro, but yo I got a bankroll
And I’m not the kind of person to fold
A good hand when I’ve got it
You play weak, and I’ll spot it
Put you all in, call your bluff like an audit
You see, theres shark’s in the tank
know a fish when they see it
Try to take you to the bank
So, you’ve gotta learn to play a little more tight
Cause a fish out of water get’s consumed every night
I like to play at bay 101
Eating all the little fish, Like a dish of fresh salmon
High steak’s on the side
You got some luck, let it ride
Just know when to step aside


(chorus)(Just & Skope)
lay em down
lay em down, down, down,
gotta learn
learn to lay em down
lay em down or go all in, and feel your heart poundin’,
lay em down, down
got to learn, learn to lay em down down
lay em down or go all in, so how you feel now ?

(Skope)
Hands sweaty
Heart beatin, the sharks start eatin
When they smell blood, stuck in the deep end
Floppin’, twistin and turning’ no insurance
And now river feels more like a furnace
Your all in, but over your head
You glance back at your hands
They’re covered in red
You got a lot of heart, but watch with dread
As the last street leads to a clover instead
Hold em’ or fold em, the moment is golden
They try to finish off a skittish opponent
As the minutes have slowed to a crawl,
and all the fish – try to make a bold call
so many dreams have been flushed
take the bait and straight up get crushed
by a fishing magician – I say now
you gotta know when to push , and when to lay em down

(chorus)(Just & Skope)
lay em down
lay em down, down, down,
gotta learn
learn to lay em down
lay em down or go all in, and feel your heart poundin’,
lay em down, down
got to learn, learn to lay em down down
lay em down or go all in, so how you feel now ?




(Just)
Focused on the cards
Straight stuck in the zone,
Just won a tourney in the comfort of my own home
full tilt on the cell phone
sitting with the big dog’s
throwin em all a small bone

yup

re raise em like I was a knit wit
actin like I’ve never played before
and I don’t really even know shit
and that’s far from the truth though
not like a hot shot, really I’m just so-so at it

backdoor flush to crush
I’ve got the ace in my hand
So I know I’ve got the pure nuts
I check, they bluff –
Put their whole stack right in front,
So now I know I’m bout to double up

yup

it’s a real easy read,
when a maniac is raising frequenly
without no strategy
its fun to take em out with a sell
now he’s screaming bloody hell
to his friends about the way he fell – down, down, down



(chorus)(Just & Skope)
lay em down
lay em down, down, down,
gotta learn
learn to lay em down
lay em down or go all in, and feel your heart poundin’,
lay em down, down
got to learn, learn to lay em down down
lay em down or go all in, so how you feel now ?



(Skope)
I feel like the king of the castle
When a pair in the pocket came to hassle my queens
So I took em to battle, this fool didn’t seem to know
How shallow these rivers run
Just before the flood
And paint the entire board red as blood, yo
And before its all said and done
You realize that you can’t trust anyone
So you stack your chips, by acting tough
And pushing back on a fish, who likes to bluff
With a whole bunch, of that shitty stuff
In life, you got to take off those kitty gloves
Don’t let a bad beat – ruin your summer
And fifth street is the road for the runner runner
Stay on your game and say it now
You got to learn when to push and when to lay it down



(chorus)(Just & Skope)
lay em down
lay em down, down, down,
gotta learn
learn to lay em down
lay em down or go all in, and feel your heart poundin’,
lay em down, down
got to learn, learn to lay em down down
lay em down or go all in, so how you feel now ?
