I was always hoping the game would change things
That I could wake up and here the choir sing
Not wake up to the smell of bullet smoke
Hear the next door neighbor cough then croak
My clothes worn down, soles of my shoes falling apart
The only way to live like I live is by having 80% heart
Otherwise, you’d die on the first day and cry on the first date
My heart’s a shield; can’t be broken by words or stone
I make all this money by my rhymes alone
People never thought I could get this far
I got to admit; getting here was hard
But I stood up tall and never came up short
The only thing that happened was that I got dragged to court
So here I am, telling you this story
About how I achieved fame and glory
My heart burned with the will of many
As cherished every nickel and penny
I look back now on how naïve I was
I only came this far because
I Played The Game
Playing the game means you ain’t never the same
Playing the game means you the one blame
Playing the game means to look up when it rains
You can’t get this far without playing the game
To play the game you got to have 5% luck, 5% skill, 10% courage and 80 % heart
The only way you can get anywhere is if you play the game
