Lyrics
Represent
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.
I'm sick and tired of everybody trying to tell me what to do
If I'm in need of your advice then surely I would come to you
I didn't get in this position just by happenstance
I work my bones beyond my limit just to have half a chance
And that is how you play the game
It matters that you can take the pain
You don't wanna lie cheat or steal your way
To the top
It matters what your people think
You represent your family
But that's just one more reason to see
That it matters
Whether you win or lose
Why don't we see who is the wizard and play some one on one
I think you'll find me sympathetic to ya when I've won
It seems you've got the brawn to beat me, if beef was all it takes
But I've got skills to pay the bills and punish each of your mistakes
And that is how you play the game
It matters that you can take the pain
You don't wanna lie cheat or steal your way
To the top
It matters what your people think
You represent your family
But that's just one more reason to see
That it matters
Whether you win or lose
One hundred years from now
They'll look back on this day
Where you going to be?
And what are they going to say?
I see my name in lights
The people call my name
It's all up to you
Will you find your way?
And that is how you play the game
It matters that you can take the pain
You don't wanna lie cheat or steal your way
To the top
It matters what your people think
You represent your family
But that's just one more reason to see
That it matters
Whether you win or lose
And that is what your mama thinks
You represent your family
But that's just one more reason to see
That it matters
Whether you win or lose
