(Intro)
Yeah, 
it's AR. P
Perikoooo!
They think it's a game
know I ain't playing bro,
Im'a show you how we don't play like that

(Chorus)
You came to play so go and play 
You came to play
It’s all a game 
You came to play 
But what I’m saying is 

You came to play 
But I came to win (x4)

They say the way I spend money ain't too healthy for my bank account 
But the way I make it says I dunno what you talkin' bout 

I play to win 
So when I play, I play big 
Scared money don’t make money
So I’m all in 

This life is uncertain 
Only death close the curtain
So where the money goes
I’ll be right behind lurkin'

Some days I got a lotta 
Others my pockets hurtin'
Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way it’s not worth it 

Listen for the schemes or
When somebody tryna jerk you 
Shake what’s in ya pocket and
See every last person
profit off of a product

Better have what u serving
So till the day I die,
Trust I’ma be riding dirty 

(Chorus)
You came to play so go and play 
You came to play
It’s all a game 
You came to play 
But what I’m saying is 

You came to play 
But I came to win (x4)

(Outro)
Perikooo!
A.R.P.
This ain't a game

Sinner part 2

-CHORUS-
I'm a sinner
cuz I'm a sinner
cuz I'm a sinner
cuz I'm a sinner
Ouuuu
I said
I'm a sinner
cuz I'm a sinner
cuz I'm a sinner
cuz I'm a sinner


I'm some type of shit
Sometimes it’s 'the'
Sometimes it's 'piece of'

The chick under my arm
Got a smile like Mona Lisa

I’ve always been involved
Check the scars under my t-shirt


Cause I been a real Nîgga
You can go and do your research

You can live without regrets
Just remember what you been through

It’s easy to forget
The shit you don’t want to remember

Like the time they put that bullet in my back
I kinda figured

Keep a 9 with a bean-
have u lookin' like a Hindu

I keep it real
Down to the bones in my skeleton

I’ll keep the peace
Just so longs I got my medicine

All the sedatives
Swimming in my head
Got me wishin' I was dead
In heaven chillin' with my relatives

-CHORUS-
Cuz I'm a sinner
I'm a sinner (sinner)
I'm a sinner
Yes I'm a sinner 
I'm a sinner yea
Yes I'm a sinner 
I'm a sinner yea
Yes I'm a sinner 


I never really cared 
For what the law said

I got involved in 
Things I should’ve avoided 

Got my first felony 
Before I ever voted
 
And that's permanent 
Like the part on my forehead 

It's like I don’t listen
To the ones that love me most
 
And that’s the choice 
I always end up regretting most

When is it gonna be my turn? 
Feels like my all bridges burned

Sometimes it feels like I'm a never learn now
Now

How’s it gonna turn 
out?

I’m feeling like I’m burnt
out 

So ain’t nothing left but sin 
For me !

I'm a sinner (to fade)

SINNER TOO

HIS-STORY:
     I was introduced to the street life at a young age being raised in INWOOD HILL, Manhattan. Fast money that I made in those streets brought forth blessings, curses, success, and heartache. 
     
     At SIXTEEN, I was hospitalized for a blunt force trauma to my forehead from a wood bat that left a permanent part at the front of my hairline.      
     At SEVENTEEN, I was shot through my upper back where the bullet nicked my aorta and also caused my lung to collapse.(never mind who it was, he got his…)
     At EIGHTEEN, I was arrested and imprisoned for the sale and distribution of narcotics within a college campus.

I've lived and loved hard.
I've lost it all and learned the hard way- time and time again.
Against all odds.
Yet, I've always managed to come out on top.

I don't claim to be a 'gangster' or tough guy.
My music, much like the scars you see on my body is a living testimony of my stories- the stories of a REAL ONE.

Now I'm here to share these stories with you.

If only one of you can relate/ like/ enjoy/ bop to/ and feel my music-
then ALL of this is worth every ounce of work, love, and dedication I've put into my music.

I appreciate YOU all for following and giving my work a 'LIKE'.

This is all for YOU.

                          ** .. ALL stories are ABSOLUTELY 100%..**
                        ** TRUE and can be verified by THE HOOD! **
