the game is the game
(You done messed up now, Aaron)
Ooh
The game is the game (game)
You wake up, packs gone and they raided you again
Not mad 'cause the game is the game (game)
You leave school, now you're makin' hella money
But some punks wanna hate
Man, the game is the game (game)
Providin' for your family, they don't get why you keep a straight face
'Cause the game is the game (game)
Your mum finds hella drugs in the house with a gun
Now she can't look at you the same (same)
Yeah (same), yeah (same)
Don't blame me, blame the game
Don't blame me, don't blame me (blame the game)
Don't blame me, blame the game (game)
Yeah (game), yeah (game)
Don't blame me, blame the game
Don't blame me, blame the game (ooh, yeah)
This is what I go through, I was forced to
Gettin' through the post, drivin' 'round antisocial
Duckies 'round the corner (oh) and I run it solo (solo)
I can't trust no one, hard to find loyal (oh, yeah)
So I got this mash on myself and I oil it
Have you ever flush the key notes down the toilet?
All that I spent (all that I spent)
Watched it goin' down the drain (watched it goin' down the drain)
I don't fuck with rappers, rather watch paint dry (dry)
Can't give you first time, you know I don't fail twice
Praise be to God, I've avoided all the jail time
And I got a dog with me, bitch, I'm a k-9 (woof)
Any way, it's game time
And I got a Louis by my side and it's 5x5
And I bet he doesn't even know I got a .45
And it got no safety, just for security
Please, don't blame me
The game is the game (game)
You wake up, packs gone and they raided you again
Not mad 'cause the game is the game (game)
You leave school, now you're makin' hella money
But some punks wanna hate
Man, the game is the game (the game is the game)
Providin' for your family, they don't get why you keep a straight face
'Cause the game is the game (game)
Your mum finds hella drugs in the house with a gun (yeah)
Now she can't look at you the same (same)
The game did it to me
See the scars on my body?
Man, the pain did it to me (uh-huh)
Got a sack on me posted in the rain, in a hoodie (outside)
Just got a couple hundred from my uncle wasn't nobody lookin' (yeah)
See the narcs comin', take the strap and threw it in the bushes (for real)
Ain't nowhere that you can hide out when them agents go to lookin' (I know)
They gon' turn you to a number once they put you in the system (no lie)
You gon' fight and stand tall or you gon' cry and start bitchin'? (Huh)
You gon' ride for the cause or you gon' be the star witness (which one?)
Do you really got it in you? Or did you do it for an image? (Let me know)
I can really walk you through it 'cause I already did it (yeah)
Bitches leave, niggas change when you go broke, I know the feelin' (yeah)
Ain't no excuses when you in it, nigga
The game is the game (game)
You wake up, packs gone and they raided you again
Not mad 'cause the game is the game (game)
You leave school, now you're makin' hella money
But some punks wanna hate
