Snakes And Ladders Lyrics - Singles - Smokee Tokess

'Read Sun TSu The Art of War 

every battle is won, 

before it's ever faught 

before it's ever faught 

before it's ever faught 

Think about it, 

give me guys that are poor, smart and hungry 

and no feelings' 

[Verse 1] 

Draped in ermine, 

teaching rappers while I'm learning, 

cos I keep my eyes on snakes, pigs and the vermin. 

I keep my friends close, but I squeeze my ho's tighter 

and I need a toke, son, yo pass me the lighter. 

They wanna deal with tokes, 

yeh they creaping again, 

but I'll put the leak to your brain 

if you weaken the chain. 

I don't give a fuck if you speaking my name 

but I'll fucking cut ya, 

if you speak it in vein. 

Am I the devious, or the snake, or the ladder 

or the stairs, out the back, or the elevator, 

coming back and back 

and mine is on the stacker, 

out of fucking order, 

so I gotta wait, for the snakes, 

to come back in order, 

to separate the ones with the rungs 

from the ones, 

with the forks for the tongues 

they out for your funds. 

So keep ya wits about you 

check the former and the latter, 

use your grey matter, 

ask any dead rapper about... 

[Chorus] 

Snakes and ladders, you cud never tell 

You never know what I'm gonna do next 

Shit is like, snakes and ladders 

I never fail, 

I play the game like its russian roulet 

shit is like Snakes and ladders, 

you cud never tell 

You never know where I'm gonna move next 

Shit is like, snakes and ladders, 

jump up a ladder, up to the side, 

cos you can't decide 

[Verse 2] 

Rappers hanging from the noose knot, 

whose hot, whose not, 

whose got what, who's dudes got clocked. 

Intricate, rhymes written in triplicate, 

using finite words, 

the combinations are infinite. 

Even walking under a ladder could make your luck badder 

so I had ta, bun the, splif and wonder, 

how I keep from going under, 

in the jungle, my own mutherfucking uncle 

L told me yo, 

the mutherfuckin' 

snakes got the phones in my house tapped 

praying that I fall for the mouse trap, 

I doubt that, but when the crowds clap 

I despise jealousy 

but a friend of a friend could be my enemy. 

He telling me, don't let them grab you 

drag you back a square 

You swear, you wont make the same mistakes 

that got you there, yeh 

know the rules, you could get schooled 

or get fooled cos really, 

there's only two types of people overall... 

[Chorus] 

Snakes and ladders, you cud never tell 

You never know what I'm gonna do next 

Shit is like, snakes and ladders 

I never fail, 

I play the game like its russian roulet 

shit is like Snakes and ladders 

you cud never tell, 

You never know where I'm gonna move next 

Shit is like, snakes and ladders, 

jump up a ladder, up to the side, 

cos you can't decide 

on a snake, watch out 

there's fucking snakes out there 

ladder, surrounded in smoke 

snake, I don't give a fuck I don't know about you 

or a ladder, you could never tell 

snake, I don't give a fuck I don't know about you 

ladder 

Yo Smokee Tokess, light that inspiration 

lightning striking like a python
