    The Game

    Lyrics

    [The Game]
    Second floor of my hotel
    I'm rollin' up bout' to blaze
    It's on now
    To this Frankie Beverly and Mase
    As our days about to pass
    And our days in the past
    He said my mind free
    So my mind free at last
    So much that I don't even drink from a glass
    I'd rather find the first fountain I can
    And do it fast
    Didn't understand the dream of a king
    I do the math
    Coincidentally on ya birthdays
    I ditched the Class
    Cause the younger me, dumber me
    Was chasin' the cash
    Chasin' the ass
    Lowlife with his face in the grass
    Ridin' home from school
    In front of the bus
    Not even thinkin' bout how
    Rosa Parks done it for us
    How she stayed behind bars
    And she done it for us
    And she stayed behind bars
    Till she won it for us

    [Repeat: x2]
    Sometimes I wanna give up
    Or at least take a break
    Thats when I close my eyes
    And see Coretta Scott's face

    [Nas]
    Word up Game,
    Standin at the Pu
    Panoramic view of the seating
    Greeting
    I've been meanin
    To do me some letter readin'
    To the king, he forever breathin'
    Your message is never leavin'
    Some of your homies, fonies
    I should said it when I seen em
    Some sleezy bastards
    Greedy pastors
    Should never be allowed to be
    In Ebenezer Baptist Church
    In Atlanta
    So people be patient
    I know there's ghetto grammar
    But I'm a street dude
    Normally I just speak rude
    Martin Luther
    The model of truth
    But hate killed em
    Nobel peace prize winner
    They duplicate the feelin'
    As a kid, I ain't relate really
    I sell your dream speak jokely
    Till your world awoken me
    First I thought you was passive
    Soft one to ass kiss
    I was young
    But honest, I was feelin' Muhammad
    I ain't even know the strip
    You had to have the march
    You were more than talk
    The first real Bravehart
    We miss you.

    [The Game]
    The word nigger
    Is nothin' like nigga
    Don't sound shit like
    Like game like Jigga
    One came before the other
    Like aim and pull the trigga
    Wanna slang for my brother
    Wanna hang and take his picture
    The rope ain't tight enough
    He still alive, go fix it
    Pour some gasoline on em
    Call his daughters Black Bitches
    Make em pick cotton
    While his momma cleanin' up the kitchen
    Same cotton in white tees
    That's the cotton they was pickin'
    If Dr. King marched today would Bill Gates march?
    I know Obama would
    But would Hillary take part?
    Great minds think great thoughts
    The pictures I paint
    Make the Mona Lisa look like fake art
    I feel the pain of Nelson Mandela
    Because when it rains, it pours
    I need Rhianna's umbrella
    For Coretta Scott's tear drops
    When she got the phone call that
    The future just took a fuckin' head shot
    I wonder why Jesse Jackson didn't catch em
    Before his body drop
    Would he give me the answer
    Probably not
