Why You Hate The Game
(专辑: You Know What It Is, Volume 4: Murda Game Chronicles - 2007)
[Nas] Y'all know what it is... The
streets named me Illmatic, for that I'm still at it.. Can't hate us.... Fellas... [Verse 1] Vice behind me on the
intersection, Sex and drugs, my anthology on perfection, Dress superb, admired by conspirers, Who wanna try me, but ain't high enough to four-five me up, Child of the
eighties, y'all n***as is lazy, Complain about labour pains, n***a show me the
baby, And my n***a Game, light another L, pass the
bottle, Pro-black, I
don't take cotton out of aspirin bottles, Yeah, I
learnt my lessons, and heard y'all snitching, Witnessing you rockin'(?) with Nas, confirmed my suspicion, Green fatigues on, My n***as I
bleed for 'em, I
can show 'em the
water, but can't make 'em drink it, And I
can show 'em my fortunes but can't force 'em to think rich, And still I
don't abort 'em (?) when and if they sink quick, Ignore the
ignorance, I
rep the
brilliance of Queensbridge, And pray to fans, let Murder Inc. live... [8 Bars... kind of] [The Game] I
don't talk about my guns, n***a I
just blaze.... [Verse 2] 'Pac is watching, Big is listening, While Pun talking to us, Jam Jay still spinning, To every n***a listening I
was supposed to be amongst kings, my Mom shouted out at my Christening. And while you still listening, Shyne locked in a
man hole, Cam got shot inside his lambo', sample, life is a
gamble, 15 years old red rag around my hand, My sisters used to laugh and call me 'Rambo', Seen Eazy's legacy melt away like a
candle, I
rekindled the
flame, Dre created The
Game, N***a with an attitude from the
cloth I
came, Young homie ate his way up from the
bottom of the
food chain. Keep the
crown, clown, I
rock an LA Dodger Fitted, I
showed my ass at Summer Jam but New York was down with it, Now the
ball's in my court, never dribble out of bounds with it. Behind the
back to Nas, he alley oop to Jigga, N***a [8 Bars] [Verse 3] Me and nasty puffing, this a
classic, trust me, How you gon' pass the
dutchie (?) to them n***as that don't love me, I'm talking n***as that never wanted to see me on top, Same n***as that never wanted to see the
Doctor's Advocate drop, flop, I
think not, I'll fuck you rap n***as like virgins, Dre took my training wheels off his curtains. I
don't need no encore, no claps, no cheers, The
Game ain't over, this the
beginning of my career, The
ending of yours, the
endin of his, Like Flavor Flav's clock, I'm back to handle my biz, N*gga, it's Game Time, that was Dre's favorite line, Back when proof was in the
booth and I
recited his lines, And I
still think about my n***a from time to time, Make me wanna call 50, and let him know what's on my mind, But I
just hold back cuz we ain't beefin like that, He aint Big, and I
ain't Pac, and we just eatin off rap. One love. [8 Bars] I'll do Marsha's bit if you want, but it seems kinda pointless. I
thought Nas was on point with his multis, the
cotton line is a
bit old though.
