As the founder and CEO of LAG Life's A Gamble Entertainment, Roulette creates high-quality music while giving back to his community by way of various philanthropic endeavors.

Lyrics

Homemade outta da gutta, on some ford shit
Born and raised in da Carolinas, 4 shit

Been broke and homeless, on some lonely shit
I had lost it all, I never won shit

I say Life's A Gamble, thats some real shit
Self-made in da field, on some squad shit

Took L's in life, but i never quit
Raised by a single mom, pops wasnt shit

Had to hustle and grind to risk it all for it
Had to hit these streets if mom call 4 it

I don't brag about the shit I done,
I been locked up, shot at, and I buss these guns

But see, I'm a man of my word so I pray to God

I dont brag and bost like u fucking frauds

Stunting for the gram, like u really self-made
Still live wit yo mom, daddy pay yo way

Learned how to hustle money, before i could read
had hit those streets young, age of 13

Didn't matter to me how i really got money,
Moms Didn't have job so i got money

Used to draw pictures, charge a nigga20 bucks
Used ball on the courts, just to run it up

I Started selling white and green, i called it candy
I started carrying a gun, to keep it handy

Joined the corps went to college, now I'm book smart

Already street smart, Beatties Ford heart

Yea i work hard, i know how to grind for it
I own my own business, other niggas wish for it

Im not saying shit sweet, or its easy
I done did my dirt, lord forgive me

Your opinion doesn't matter only God can judge me, self-made, I'm da king of da QC
