I Like These Odds - Jay Kill & The Hustle Standard

You gotta know what you want to do You gotta dedicate yourself to it You gotta wake up thinking about it Go to work thinking about it Go to bed thinking about it You gotta dream about it I put my life on this — Hand to God

Other hand on my chest — I like these odds

I don’t play by the rules — No one does

I butter both sides of my toast, lil punk, just because

You chase the golden arrow

And watch the archer’s mark up in the sky

Don’t think these simple favors

Will let you back track straight to simple times

You gotta know like you know gravity

That this is what’s gonna happen in your life

First, it’s a dream — Then you take action

And then you dominate

Hard up times, hard up money

Watch your smile, ain’t a damn thing funny, boy

Not a damn thing funny, boy

Cut my teeth throwing rocks in the street

You might know my name, but you don’t know me, boy

No you don’t know these boys

Promise I’ll never quit — Never say «die»

Never let my heart see better than my eyes

Put my feet on the edge — Thousand foot drop

That’s how it feels when your looking down from the top

Last words don’t turn men to Hell-fighting, blood-thirsty demons overnight

It takes a generation of Square-jawed hammerheads to change these city lights

I’m not saying it’s easy — You gotta work for this

You gotta be persistent — You gotta be dedicated

But why shouldn’t it be that way…

If your life’s gonna be better than everyone else’s

No more time, no more chips, everybody place your bets

Chicken dinner, no regrets

Mama said, «he did the best he could»

The opposite of what he should be Grab my girl, call the lawyer

Uncle Hustle got something for ya No one cares, it’s all the same

I do this for the love of the game

I’m not Drake, fuck the fame

I keep my money, you can make it rain

And we all take risks, that’s my crew

Nobody tells us what to do, we made this happen

Never through, we’re gone

I put my life on this — Hand to God

Other hand on my chest — I like these odds
