The Game

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Yeah

Now you can hear the gold just jangling

But, its still about the take over

It's like everything changed

But I still feel the same

I'm just tryna run the motherfucking game

I'm on that

Yeah, I'll always be on that

It's like everything changed

But I still feel the same

I'm just tryna run the motherfucking game

I'm on that

Yeah I'll always be on that, yeah

Where do I start damn

Man, my mind is racing

Hip hop awards getting chosen by some racists

I'm in the yo, with a bottle of some clear shit

You don't know the truth, you just hear shit

Homie's on a Learjet, upgrade from the block

If you too big, fuck fades they gon' use the Glock (use the Glock)

I do a lot for everyone around me, y'all don't see it

I'm in the club for half an hour then I'm probably leaving

I got paid, dip off with the gang

Got Bugus in the Bentley, got Herb in the Wraith

Got Tim in the Ghost, got a gun on his waist

Life or death, ain't no time to start reaching for the safe

So I play it safe

Real ones that would really go hit for me

Low overhead, no-one ever wrote a hit for me

I be making history, bigger when I'm dead

I'm so on (on)

But it's off with they head

Fuck MTV, y'all really snubbed me

How you choosing people with numbers that ain't above me?

Oh wait, politics

Playing at these colleges, getting paid more to perform than any scholarship

I'm lit, I'm gassed, I'm me, I'm me

Two platinum singles, two years they were free

As I'm writing this, I know that this ain't accurate no more

By the time that all y'all hear this I will most likely have more

I really did eight tours, headlined them all

Your contacts were bullshit, we redlined them all

I spent time in awe, on some amazed shit

Then an O.G. told me to embrace this

I will never waste this, never get complacent

Lotta these rappers got rich and got jaded

I'm still on the same shit, take over the game shit

I just can't relate to your wavelength

It's like everything changed

But I still feel the same

I'm just tryna run the motherfucking game

I'm on that

Yeah I'll always be on that

It's like everything changed

But I still feel the same

I'm just tryna run the motherfucking game

I'm on that

Yeah I'll always be on that, yeah

I get everything for free, from your girl to my wardrobe

Half a million dollars smiling on my torso

I buy property, you just got foreclosed

Money running low, you gon' have to do more shows

But you know no one shows for your shows

So you do club hostings but you drink what you gross

Then you go back home, fall asleep frustrated

Girl laying next to you, whispering: Russ made it

You asleep, you don't hear her so she sneaks out

And she pulls up on me and brings the freak out

I send her back before your eyes open

I'm her fix 'cause your life's broken

She might try chokin'

On something you don't wanna kiss after

Lifestyle of a young handsome rich rapper

It's all laughter, it's all big bucks though

Call the buzz Vegas 'cause it stays on a bus though

Girls gone wild, rich like Rothschild

I'ma make you sign an NDA, now you're on file

I'm the President, the CEO

People that I've never seen, tryna see me go (uh)

Billionaire minds in my circle that's a fact

Faded off Clooney liquor we don't know, how to act

If it's based off of fans, y'all should really do the math

If it's based off of sales, y'all should really count the plaques

If it's based off of pussy, y'all should really count the ass

If it's based off of money, y'all should really count the cash (uh)

Move around with duffle bags like Floyd does

Sometimes nothing makes more noise than poise does

Coin us the best movement of all time

Dreams too big to think small time

I'm just on the same shit, take over the game shit

I just can't relate to any B-level wave length

It's like everything changed

But I still feel the same

I'm just tryna run the motherfucking game

I'm on that

Yeah I'll always be on that

It's like everything changed

But I still feel the same

I'm just tryna run the motherfucking game

I'm on that

Yeah I'll always be on that, yeah
