Lyrics
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 nothin' changed
I'm still gonna do it my way (With you)
And I still remain
So tell me why you hate the game, oh (With you)
So tell me why you hate the game, oh (With you)
Y'all know what it is
The streets named Illmatic, but Adam still at it
Can't hate us
Felon, vice behind me on the intersection
Nigga, this shit is my anthology on perfection
Dressed superb, admired by conspirers
Who wanna try me? But ain't nann nigga fire enough to fuck me up
Child of the '80s, y'all niggas is lazy
Complain about labor pains, you niggas showed me the baby
In my nigga game, light another L and pass the bottle
Pro-Black, I don't pick cotton out a Aspirin bottle
Yeah, I learned my lessons and heard y'all snitchin'
Witnessin' you rockin' with narcs confirmed my suspicion
Green fatigues on, my niggas, I 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'll onboard 'em when and 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 (With you)
My time is now, I'm gonna do it all over again (With you)
Ain't nothin' new, ain't nothin' changed
I'm still gonna do it my way (With you)
And I still remain
So tell me why you hate the game, oh (With you)
So tell me why you hate the game, oh (With you)
I don't talk about my niggas, nigga, I just blaze
This time I'll do it better just because
Pac is watchin', B.I.G. is listenin'
While Pun talkin' to his Jam J, still spinnin'
To every nigga listenin'
"I was supposed to be amongst kings,"
My moms shouted out at my christenin'
And while you still listenin', Shyne locked in a manhole
And Cam got shot inside his Lambo, example
Life is a gamble, fifteen 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
Nigga 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, I'll rock a L.A. Dodger fitted
Showed my ass at Summer Jam, but New York was down with it
Now the ball's in my court, never dribble out of bounds with it
Behind the back to Nas, he alley-ooped to Jigga
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 nothin' changed
I'm still gonna do it my way (With you)
And I still remain
So tell me why you hate the game, oh (With you)
So tell me why you hate the game, oh (With you)
I don't talk about my niggas, nigga, I just blaze
This time I'll do it better just because
Check it, me and Nasty, nigga, it's a classic, trust me
I even passed the bitch shit to the niggas that don't love me
I'm talkin' niggas that never wanted to see me on top
Same niggas that never wanted to see the Doctor's Advocate drop
Flop? I think not, I'll fuck you rap niggas 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
Nigga, 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 niggas 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 (With you)
My time is now, I'm gonna do it all over again (With you)
Ain't nothin' new, ain't nothin' changed
I'm still gonna do it my way (With you)
And I still remain
So tell me why you hate the game, oh (With you)
So tell me why you hate the game, oh (With you)
I don't talk about my niggas, nigga, I just blaze
This time I'll do it better just because
I wanna thank everybody for comin' out
God bless you, one love
Good night
Or good day if you on the other side of the globe
Yo Just', we on the moon with this shit
Dr. Zab Koon, see you on the third album
Hate to love it
