Speed of life, fast, It's like walkin' barefoot over broken glass It's like, jumpin' rope on a razor blade All lightning quick decisions are made Lifestyle plush, Females rush This high profile personality, Who earns his pay illegally Professional liar, Schoolboys admire Young girls desire, Very few live to retire Cash flow extreme, Dress code supreme, Vocabulary obscene Definition-street player, You know what I mean The high rollers People of the city, stop foolin' yourself Crime rules the streets, who the hell else All the police have gone out to play 'Cause for enough cold cash they'll look the other way Look at the cars as they go by Benzes, Ferraris, trucks up high Beepers connecting players with big-time deals With all of this technology who needs to steal Just live a life of leisure every night and day And you're livin' proof that crime does pay Your life is dangerous and reckless You eat fly guys and girls for breakfast You're a titan of the nuclear age Your muscles flex with a Uzi or 12 gauge And you love the game, that's why you boast 'Cause you're high priced, high speed, high post, high rollin' Now when I say high rollers, I mean the best Forget the half-steppers, Eject the rest 'Cause these high ranked officials of our city streets Make millions all triggered by electric beeps They dress in diamonds and rope chains They got the blood of SCARFACE runnin' through their veins Silk shirts, Leather suits, Hair always fresh Eelskin boots, Large hearts, Though their sizes vary Bankrolls that take 2 pockets to carry Cruisin' in their 500 Benz Sedan With their systems peaked out rockin' PUSHER MAM Yes, their fashion's high and hard to beat They buy their GUCCI at GUCCI'S not the swapmeet Eat very well, much clientele Whatever you need, they probably sell The high rollers Oh yes, I'm here to tell you females also roll Drive the same cars, somethimes wear more gold Cold as an igloo, or hot as a flame They'll shake ya, break ya and you won't know their name Gangsters to the max, All marks will be taxed These girls drive Ferraris, not Cadillacs Respect is demanded, most men don't understand it Till they peep the huge bank that these girls have landed They're junkies for fun, love life on the run If things get hot, they will pull a gun Prey on the lame, no shame to the game They all seek power, fuck the fame The high rollers Now radio stations probably won't play This record because of the things I say They'll say I'm glamorizing the hustlin' hood And a record like this can do no good But I'm not here to tell you right or wrong I don't know which side of the law you belong Yes, the game has flash, but sometimes hurts Behind any mistake, hard times lurks And jail's not your only problem, though it may seem You just may die by a barrage from an M-16 But to each his own, choose the mobile phone Choose the tailored suit, the luxury home You'll never get caught, 'cause you got nerves of ice And you're much smarter than those crooks on Miami Vice Right You wanta be a high roller High roller
