Why You Hate The Game - The Game

I’m, I’m with you

I’m, I’m with you

To everybody who knows my story

To all of those who came before me

My time is now, I’m gonna do it all over again

Ain’t nothin' new, ain’t 'bout to change

I’m still gonna do it my way, yeah, I still remain

So tell me why you hate the game?

So tell me why you hate the game?

Y’all know what it is

The streets named me Illmatic

But yet, I’m still at it, yeah haters

Felon, fights behind me on the intersection

Dress superb, admired by conspirists

Who wanna try me but ain’t *** enough to *** me up

Child of the '80s, y’all *** is lazy

Complainin' 'bout labor pains, ***, show me the baby

And my *** Game, light another ***, pass the bottle

Pro-black, I don’t pick cotton out aspirin bottle

Yeah, I learned my lessons and heard y’all snitchin'

Witnessin' you rockin wit Narcs, confirmed my suspicion

Green fatigues on, my ***, I’ll bleed for 'em

I can show 'em the water but can’t make 'em drink it

And I can show them my fortunes but can’t force 'em to think rich

And still I wanna board 'em

Wonderin' if they sink quick

Ignore the ignorance, I rep the brilliance of Queensbridge

And pray the Feds let Murder Inc. live

To everybody who knows my story

To all of those who came before me

My time is now, I’m gonna do it all over again somehow

Ain’t nothin' new, ain’t 'bout to change

I’m still gonna do it my way, yeah, I still remain

So tell me why you hate the game?

Oh, no, no, no, I’m stuck here with Just because

So tell me why you hate the game?

I don’t talk about my *** I Just Blaze

Oh, this time, I do it better just because

'Pac is watchin', B.I.G.

is listenin'

While Pun talkin' to us, Jam Jay still spinnin'

To every *** listenin', I was supposed to be

Amongst kings, my mom shouted out at my christenin'

And while you still listenin', Shyne locked in a manhole

And Cam got *** inside his Lambo, it’s ample

Life is a gamble, 15 years old, red rag around my head

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

Young homie ate his way up from the bottom of the food chain

Keep the crown, clown, I rock a L.A. Dodger fitted

Showed my *** at Summer Jam but New York was down wit it

Now the ball’s in my court, never dribble out of bounds wit it

Behind the back to Nas, he alley oop to Jigga

To everybody who knows my story

To all of those who came before me

My time is now, I’m gonna do it all over again somehow

Ain’t nothin' new, ain’t 'bout to change

I’m still gonna do it my way, yeah, I still remain

So tell me why you hate the game?

Oh, no, no, no, I’m stuck here with Just because

So tell me why you hate the game?

Oh, this time, I do it better just because

Check it, me and Nasty *** it’s a classic, trust me

How he gon' pass the *** to them *** that don’t love me

I’m talkin' *** that never wanted to see me on top

Same *** that never wanted to see 'The Doctor’s Advocate' drop

Flop, I think not, I *** you rap *** like virgins

Dre took my trainin' wheels off, it’s curtains

I don’t need no encore, no claps, no cheers

The Game ain’t over, this the beginnin' of my career

The endin' of yours, the endin' of his

Like Flavor Flav’s clock, I’m back to handle my biz

Back when Proof was in the booth and I recited his lines

And I still think about my *** from time to time

Make me wanna call 50 and let him know what’s on my mind

But I just hold back 'cause we ain’t beefin' like that

He ain’t B.I.G.

and I ain’t 'Pac

And we just eatin' off rap, one love

To everybody who knows my story

To all of those who came before me

My time is now, I’m gonna do it all over again somehow

Ain’t nothin' new, ain’t 'bout to change

I’m still gonna do it my way, yeah, I still remain

So tell me why you hate the game?

Oh, no, no, no, I’m stuck here with Just because

So tell me why you hate the game?

Oh, this time, I do it better just because

It ain’t over, ladies and gentleman

I go by the name of the one and only, Just Blaze

I got a couple people in the house with me

Usually we do this at the beginning

But we gon' do it at the end this time

I wanna take you to church real quick

So I’ma need some help, I need some people up

I need 1500 or nothin' up here wit me

The wonderfully talented Marsha Ambrosia’s from Floetry

Ah, yeah there we go

The sun is shinin' down on us right now

We feelin' real good, we know y’all do too

So if you feelin' good, sing along, clap along, stomp along

Catch a lil' Holy Ghost

And if you ain’t feelin' good, God willin'

By the end of this record, He gon' change all that

Ayo, Lorenz, you ready?

There it is, pass me them drumsticks

Alright everybody, please join in

Your life ain’t good, you can get it right

Take this opportunity to do so

And I’ma let it do what it do

Rest in peace to Georgia Elliott, here we go

And the sun shines with you

And the sun shines with you

And the sun shines with you

I wanna thank everybody for comin' out

God bless, one love, good night

Or good day if you on the other side of the globe

Yo, Just, we on the move with this ***, 'Doctor's Advocate'

See you on the third album, hate it or love it

And the sun shines with you

And the sun shines with you

And the sun shines with you
