Rap Game
8 mile Lyrics

The Rap Game
Hip-hop 1-0-1

The hardest 9 to 5 you will ever have
A demanding job that requires constant dedication and hard work

You can't learn this shit in no history-book
This is a skill that cannot be obtained through traditional education

You ready to rap motherfucker?
Are you prepared to showcase your skills in the rap industry?

You ready to sell your soul?
Are you willing to compromise your values and integrity for success?

'The Rap Game' Motherfucker
The harsh reality of the rap industry

I'm a disruptive nigger
I am an unpredictable and provocative individual

You made me crazy
Your actions and behavior have driven me to madness

You should a slayed me as a baby
It would have been better if you had killed me when I was an infant

Behavin' shadier than Wes Craven
Engaging in deceitful and suspicious activities

And you ain't even gotta pay me
I take pleasure in causing harm without any compensation

I take pleasure of layin' a nigga down daily
I enjoy defeating and overpowering others on a daily basis

You face me drunk of sober, you'll faint fast
Whether you are intoxicated or sober, you will be easily overwhelmed by me

I'm never fucked up to where I can't whoop your ass
I am always capable of defeating you, regardless of my mental state

Your neck will get snapped wit bear hands, fuck music
I will physically harm you with my bare hands, showing no respect for music

Is he rappin' is cool but fool don't confuse it
Rapping may seem impressive, but don't mistake it for something it's not

What happens these dudes get rude and then I lose it?
When people disrespect me, I become enraged and unpredictable

I'm scandals, I blow your two kids off the atlas
I am scandalous, willing to harm even innocent children

With a gat that's bigger than Godzilla's back nigga
I possess a firearm larger and more powerful than anything imaginable

You are not real and in fact
You lack authenticity and substance

Your fruity effect of a crack dealer
Your actions and persona mimic that of a fake drug dealer

Y'all president sends me smack
Even the president acknowledges my talent and success

Den got a mack 10 with it
I have acquired a powerful firearm, a Mack 10

So I ain't gotta rap
I don't need to rely on my rapping skills

But I'm thankful for that
I appreciate the opportunities that rap has brought me

Don't mistaken me black
Don't misunderstand my identity as a black person

Or you be stankin' in back of a fuckin' Cadillac
Or you will find yourself in a precarious situation

I'ma get snuffed
I am at risk of being physically attacked

'Cause I ain't said enough to pipe down
Because I haven't expressed my opinions and thoughts enough to be silenced

I pipe down when the White House is whiped out
I will only stay quiet when the government is completely eradicated

When I see that 'lil Cheany dike get sniped out
When I witness the vice president being eliminated

Lights out, bitch, adios, goodnight
You will be defeated and disappear from the scene

Now put that in your 'lil pipe and bite down
Consider and contemplate the consequences of your actions

Think for a minute 'cause the hype has died down
Reflect on your behavior now that the excitement has faded

That I won't go up in the oval office right now
Don't assume that I won't confront the president at this moment

And flip whatever ain't tied down upside down
I will disrupt and overturn everything that is not secure

I'm all for America, fuck the government
I support the country, but I reject the authority of the government

Tell that C. Doloris Tucker slut to suck a dick
Expressing dissatisfaction towards a prominent critic of rap music

Motherfucker, duck, what the fuck, son of a bitch
A warning to someone to be careful or face consequences

Take away my gun and I'm a tuck some other shit
If my firearm is confiscated, I will resort to alternative methods of retribution

Can't tell me shit about the tricks of this trade
You cannot provide me with any new information about the rap industry

Switch blade with a li'l switch to switch blades
I possess a switchblade knife that can switch between different blades

Switch from a 6 to a 16 inch blade
I can quickly switch from a 6-inch knife to a 16-inch knife

Shits like a samurai sword, a sensei
My weapon is comparable to a samurai sword, symbolizing my mastery of combat

Shit just don't change to this day
Things remain the same even in the present time

I'm this way still till I utslay itchbay
I will maintain my current mindset until the day I die

Ucksay my ickday
Mispronunciation of words as a form of defiance

'Scuse my igpay atinlay
Apologizing for using pig Latin as a form of communication

But uckfay a igpay
But I couldn't care less about pig Latin

I'ma disruptive nigger
I am an unpredictable and provocative individual

You made me crazy
Your actions and behavior have driven me to madness

You should a slayed me as a baby
It would have been better if you had killed me when I was an infant

Behavin' shadier than Wes Craven
Engaging in deceitful and suspicious activities

And you ain't even gotta pay me
I take pleasure in causing harm without any compensation

I take pleasure of layin' a nigga down daily
I enjoy defeating and overpowering others on a daily basis

I bet you rather me
I'm sure you prefer it if I

Drink and drown in my own iniquity
Indulge in my personal vices and sins

But fuck that, I'ma rap 'til you all get sick of me
However, I will continue rapping until everyone grows tired of me

And clutch my nut sack and spit on who pick on me
I will assert my dominance and disrespect those who mistreat me

I'm hittin' a rock next, fuck a dogg who sickin' me
I will target my enemies one by one, disregarding anyone who supports them

I'm sayin' you motherfuckers don't know and quit playin'
I'm telling you that you all have no idea what you're dealing with, so stop acting tough

If I'm broke then I'm brakin' open the place where you layin'
Even if I'm financially struggling, I will resort to robbery to get what I want

You know, same shit every nigga done in his life
You know, the same actions that every person has done at some point in their life

I lived it, that's why I speak on what I want when I write
I have experienced it firsthand, which is why I express my thoughts freely in my lyrics

So why should I ever fear another man
Therefore, I have no reason to be afraid of anyone

If he bleed like I, bleed, take a piss and he stand
Regardless of how tough someone appears, they are still vulnerable and can be defeated

Ok, you win, you can say we can't rap
Fine, if you want to claim that we can't rap

But no source never mean we ain't buyin' on what they say is wack
But just because a source says something is bad doesn't mean we won't support it

I walk in the party and just start bustin'
I enter a social gathering and immediately start firing shots

Right after I hear the last verse, I'm self-destruction
After hearing the final verse, I will cause chaos and destruction

This liquor make me wanna blast the chrome
Alcohol influences my desire to use my firearm

To let you know the time without Morris Day and Jerome
To instill fear and make a statement without relying on external influences

I'm low down and shifty, quickly, called Swifty
I am deceptive and unpredictable, often referred to as Swifty

To do a drive by on a 10-speed with '50'
To carry out a violent act while riding a bicycle equipped with '50 caliber firearms

You feelin' lucky? Squeeze
Are you feeling fortunate? Prepare for the consequences

I catch you outside of Chucky Cheese
I will confront you in an unexpected and public location

Well, just see, who be an unlucky G
You will soon find out who is the unfortunate victim

My life style is unstable, a partyin' addict
My lifestyle is chaotic and I have an addictive tendency towards partying

They said no fightin' in the club so I brought me a matic
Given the prohibition of physical altercations in the club, I have brought a firearm for protection

Coughin' ecstatic, I jump niggas, call me a rabbit
With excitement and anticipation, I quickly attack people, earning the nickname 'rabbit'

Popin' a tablet and guns that saw you in half
Consume drugs while wielding firearms that have the ability to severely harm or kill

Believe me
Trust me, have faith in what I say

We run this rap shit fo shizzie
We dominate the rap industry

Make makin' millions look easy
We make the process of earning millions appear effortless

Every where ya turn you see me, you hear me
I am omnipresent, constantly being seen and heard

For ya see my pistol in 3-D
Until you witness my gun firsthand, it's hard to comprehend the danger

No time to call a peace treaty
There is no time for negotiations or seeking peace

Dial 911 cause you need de
Call for emergency assistance because you are in danger

Police to help you, believe me
The police will assist you, trust me

I snatch the tongue from the sidewalk and piss on the curb
I assert my dominance and disrespect others openly

This is absurd, these street niggas twistin' my words
Street individuals are distorting and misinterpreting what I say

We finally could say goodbye to Hollywood
We can now bid farewell to the mainstream and commercial music industry

Cause Proof and Shaun share nuttin' in common
Because Proof and Shaun have nothing in common

The nastiest band with gats in each hand
The most ruthless and dangerous group, armed with firearms

We never bomb down to be a flash and a pan
We don't strive for short-lived success and fleeting fame

No remorse, fuck you stature, dogg
Lack of guilt or regret, I don't care about your social status

Nuttin' to do with hands when I clap at y'all
I will use my firearm instead of engaging in physical confrontation

Put your jaw on the ground with the 4 and a pound
I will astonish and shock you with a powerful weapon

I'm goin' out of town for the long come around
I will be absent for an extended period, waiting for the right opportunity

So we can battle with raps, we can battle with gats
We are prepared to compete in rap battles or engage in physical conflict

Matter fact, we can battle with plaques
We can even showcase our accomplishments and achievements as a form of competition

I'm too fuckin' retarded
I am mentally challenged

I don't give a fuck about my dick
I have no concern for my own well-being or pleasure

That's why I'm datin' Loraina Bobbet
That's why I am involved in a controversial and dysfunctional relationship

My crew had an argument
My group of friends had a disagreement

Who was the largest
Who was the most significant or influential

Now they all is dead
Now they are all deceased

And I'm rollin' as a solo artist
I am pursuing a solo career

Plus I made all the beats and wrote all the raps
I took full creative control by producing the instrumentals and writing the lyrics

Well, I really didn't, but I did accordin' to this contract
Technically, I did not have full control, but the contract implies I did

I was stoned in the snow with no where to go
I was under the influence of drugs in a cold, desperate situation

Freezin' 20 below forced to join Bell Biv Devoe
Struggling in freezing temperatures, I felt obligated to join a less successful group

My little girl, she shouldn't be listenin' to these lyrics
My daughter should not be exposed to the explicit and controversial content of these songs

That's why I glued the headphones to her ear to make sure she hear it
To ensure that she hears the music, I attached the headphones to her ears

If rap don't work, I'm startin' a group with Garth Brooks (hahhaha)
If my career in rap fails, I jokingly suggest forming a group with the country star Garth Brooks

I ain't sellin' my soul for this Rap Game
I refuse to compromise my values and morals for the sake of success in the rap industry

I ain't diggin' a whole for this Rap Game
I am not willing to sacrifice my well-being for the rap industry

Man I'm tellin' ya, no it ain't happenin'
I'm trying to emphasize that it will never happen

This Rap Game
The challenging and competitive world of rap music
