[Verse 1]

In the beginning its fun, just an one innocent game
You put one coin in, and hope your luck will change
After a hundred bucks, you were lucky to escape
But if you don't, you’ll go home, with nothing but shame

I say it again and again but you think I’m rambling
Make a right decision to change the position that you’re standing in
It’s scandalous, day and night you’re gambling
You’ve made mistakes, alright, so lets unravel what you’re tangled in

First things first, just admit it that you did it
And it’s gonna be hard, coz everyone’s a critic
Stay away from bars, and don't do what you shouldn't
Stay away from the cards, your doing something that they couldn't



And I wouldn't ever put you down; I’d pick you up
Kia kaha my brother and sisters, now listen up
Your inner-voice knows that it’s a choice not a chance,
Coz if you don't make the choice, then you have no chance

[Chorus]

I’ll never leave you I’m right here
Don’t let the evil get you I’m right here
And if those demons get you I’m right here
There’s nothing that we can’t get through I’m right here

[Verse 2]

It affects
Your friends, your girl, your man, your brother
Your son, your daughter, your sister your mother
Your dad, everyone around you suffers
And as your family, dam, its tougher

I can’t watch, the one you love
Hurting the ones you love
Its like your throwing us all under the bus

What I was wondering was, if you weren't covering up
The fact that your pride, inside, feels like you were stuck

But, you could open up a door of opportunity
And prove to be, a role model, an asset to your community
And when you get that urge you will always have immunity
And stand with your support saying, "There’s nothing you can do to me"

Lets choose to end harmful gambling
Put the money down, coz you know that it’s damaging
Your inner voice knows that it’s a choice not a chance,
Coz if you don't make the choice, you have no chance

[Chorus]

I’ll never leave you I’m right here
Don’t le the evil get you I’m right here

And if those demons get you I’m right here
There’s nothing that we cant get through I’m right here

[Bridge]

Living on the dole
You don’t wanna see dat

Never watch your kid grow
You don’t wanna see dat

Stealing from your own
You don’t wanna see dat

The list goes on and on
There’s something that you should know

Living on the dole
You don’t wanna see dat

Never watch your kid grow
You don’t wanna see dat

Stealing from your own
You don’t wanna see dat

The list goes on and on
There’s something you should know

[Chorus]
