Why You Hate 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 (With you)

My time is now

I'm gonna do it all over again (With you)

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

I'm still gonna do it my way (Yeah)

Yeah, I still remain

So tell me why you hate the game

(And the sun shines with you)

So tell me why you hate the game

(And the sun shines)

Y'all know what it is

The street's named me Illmatic

But, yet, I'm still at it

(This time I do it ??? just because)

Can't hate us

Uh, felon fights behind me on the intersection

**** my anthology on perfection

Dress superb, admired by conspirants

Who wanna try me but ain't ****

Enough to **** me up

Child of the 80's, y'all **** is lazy

Complainin' 'bout labor pains you didn't show me the baby

And my **** game light another ****

Pass the bottle

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

(And the sun shines with you)

Yeah, I learned my lessons and heart y'all snitchin'

Witnessin' you rockin' with Narcs confirmed my suspicion

Green fatigues on

My ****  I'll bleed for 'em

I could 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 Queens bridge

(And the sun shines with you)

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)

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)

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

Cam got **** inside his Lambo, it's ample

Life is a gamble

Fifteen years old

Red rag around my head

(And the sun shines with you)

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

**** with a attitude from the cloth, I came

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

Keep the crown, clown (With you)

I rock a LA Dodger, fitted

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

Now the ball's in my court

Never dribble out of bounds with it

(And the sun shines with you)

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)

Yeah, I still remain

So tell me why you hate the game

(So let the sun shine with you)

Oh, no, no, no, I'm stuck here with just because

(Let the sun shine)

So tell me why you hate the game

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah)

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 to **** 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

(And the sun shines)

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

**** 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 **** from time to time

Make me wanna call fifty 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)

Yeah, I still remain

(And the sun shines with you)

So tell me why you hate the game

Oh, no, not lost, stuck here with just because

(And the sun shines)

So tell me why you hate the game

Oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah)

This time, I do it better just because

It ain't over

(Let the sun shine with you)

Ladies and gentlemen

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

(And the sun shines with you)

I got a couple people in the house with me

Usually we do this at the, uh, beginnin'

But we gon' do it at the end this time

(And the sun shines with you)

I wanna take you to church real quick

So I'ma need some help

I need some people up

I need fifteen hundred or nothin' up here with me

(And the sun shines with you)

Um, The wonderfully talented Marsha Ambrosia's from Floetry

Ah, yeah, here we go

(And the sun shines with you)

The sun is shinin' down on us right now

We feelin' real good

We know y'all do too

So if you're feelin' good

Sing along, clap along

(And the sun shines with you)

Stomp along

Catch a lil' Holy Ghost

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

(And the sun shines with you)

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

Ayo, Lorenz, you ready?

There it is, pass me them drumsticks

(And the sun shines with you)

Alright, everybody, please join in

If your life ain't good you can get it right

Take this opportunity to do so

(And the sun shines with you)

And um, I'ma let it do what it do

Rest in peace George Elliott
