Lyrics
One more spin on the wheel of life
Will I be a lucky man or will I pay the price?
I'm on my knees praying Lord save a place for me
I'd rather die than live in misery
Like a bullet from a gun, here I come
A child of the ghetto with aspirations of being someone
I got the visions of the NBA
My daddy want me to be a doctor, mama said pray
But I had another calling
Hanging with my homies 'til early in the morning
And I was down for whatever
One time could never step to mine because I'm damn clever
Slanging, banging was never my own thing
I'm not Teddy Riley but check out how this shit swings
And everything is alright
'Cause I hustle to make it until I die
One more spin on the wheel of life
Will I be a lucky man or will I pay the price?
I'm on my knees praying Lord save a place for me
I'd rather die than live in misery
One more spin on the wheel of life
Will I be a lucky man or will I pay the price?
I'm on my knees praying Lord save a place for me
I'd rather die than live in misery
First cue, open up your eyes and take a view
Of this life that I live and ask could you
Would you be able to handle the black rain
Strain on your brain as you slowly go insane
My ghetto life only made for the strong brothers
Don't be the wrong brothers, you won't be living long brothers
Because reality could do you
Things that I've seen make me think that it's a dream
But it's everyday life you see
Sometimes there's joy and sometimes there's misery
But I pray that everything will be alright
'Cause I got nothing but love for the ghetto life
One more spin on the wheel of life
Will I be a lucky man or will I pay the price?
I'm on my knees praying Lord save a place for me
I'd rather die than live in misery
One more spin on the wheel of life
Will I be a lucky man or will I pay the price?
I'm on my knees praying Lord save a place for me
I'd rather die than live in misery
One more spin on the wheel of life, baby
One more spin on the wheel of life, baby
Here's the conclusion, no illusion just hard facts
The ghetto life took in me but now I'm making them tracks
As a kid I never thought I'd reach this point
But look at me now, damn, I'm the joint
So I keep 'em freaking, funky rhyme reminiscing
About the ghetto life as I pump through your systems
Staying true to the game, nothing's changed
Using my skills to gain fame time again
One more spin on the wheel of life
Will I be a lucky man or will I pay the price?
I'm on my knees praying Lord save a place for me
I'd rather die than live in misery
One more spin on the wheel of life
Will I be a lucky man or will I pay the price?
I'm on my knees praying Lord save a place for me
I'd rather die than live in misery
One more spin on the wheel of life
Will I be a lucky man or will I pay the price?
I'm on my knees praying Lord save a place for me
I'd rather die than live in misery
Will I be a lucky man or will I pay the price?
I'm on my knees praying Lord save a place for me
I'd rather die than live in misery
Like a bullet from a gun, here I come
A child of the ghetto with aspirations of being someone
I got the visions of the NBA
My daddy want me to be a doctor, mama said pray
But I had another calling
