The Numbers Game

Artist: Thievery Corporation 

I'm talking people about the same old game

Their running them numbers and the winners never change
The dice is loaded, the deck is stacked
The game itself will hold you back

Don't be in the dark all by yourself

Don't play the hand that the dealer has dealt
We're cashing out 'cause it's time to sell
Taking back the power, gonna share that wealth
Come on now

I'm talking people about respect

Baby you can't win when you place that bet, come on now
The dice is loaded, the deck is stacked
The game itself will surely hold you back

Check out your mind and don't be blind

To the numbers game
Check out your mind and don't be blind
To the numbers game
