Big Snoop dog
This game is cold
Ya dig?
Everywhere I go
And everyone who knows me
Knows that I would stand alone
The game (the game), the game (the game), the game (the game)
We wanna roll, baby, more maybe
I gave it everything we never swing it harder
The farther I saw the room was spinning
Higher a condom was nearing, my name heard him cheer it
And the bodies started dropping soon as I dropped my lyric
Faked it 'til I made it
And you try to break it
Now you try to take it back
But you know that
I've been doing my thing
I've been running my game
And you know I won't look back
You know that
Everywhere I go
And everyone who knows me
Knows that I would stand alone
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game), the game (the game)
I'm standing on my toes
To the sky I go
And you know you're the one to think
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game), the game
We all play it the same
I don't want to be vindictive a dick addict addictive
But if you curse a conspire my versus they will spit fire at ya
Trash me that's simple my lyrics think I won't hear it
You careers in Disney Land did you say something? No? Pardon my
Stronger 'cause you made me
You will never faze me
You can never take me down
But you know that
I've been doing my thing
I've been running my game
And you know I won't look back
You know that
Everywhere I go
And everyone who knows me
Knows that I would stand alone
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game), the game (the game)
I'm standing on my toes
To the sky I go
And you know you're the one to think
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game), the game
We all play it the same
Yeah, the game
I ball like a baller
Clock G's, every day ya dig?
My prerogative, so I'm living positive
Blind shine like I'm studied
You don't really want it
Pull a three in your, face cold blooded
Hit it will I enter? Diller?
Make believe or for real a Laker and a baker
Hell ya, black and yellow, he's a Steeler
And it's all how I get down to it
It's all part of the game
I thought you knew it?
Everywhere I go
And everyone who knows me
Knows that I would stand alone
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game), the game (the game)
I'm standing on my toes
To the sky I go
And you know you're the one to think
It's all part of the game (the game)
The game (the game), the game (the game), the game
We all play it the same
Play it the same
The game, the game
We all play it the same
Play it the same
The game, the game
It's all part of the game

This game is cold
Life is challenging and difficult
Ya dig?
Do you understand?
Everywhere I go
People recognize me
And everyone who knows me
My acquaintances are familiar with my personality
Knows that I would stand alone
I can handle any situation by myself
It's all part of the game (the game)
It's a test that life always presents
We wanna roll, baby, more maybe
We want to party and have a good time
I gave it everything we never swing it harder
I gave my hundred percent and never took it easy
The farther I saw the room was spinning
The more I partied, the more I felt dizzy and out of control
Higher a condom was nearing, my name heard him cheer it
The more I partied, the more I got into an intimate situation with someone
And the bodies started dropping soon as I dropped my lyric
People started dancing as soon as I started singing
Faked it 'til I made it
I pretended to be successful until I became successful
And you try to break it
Others tried to bring me down
Now you try to take it back
Now they regret trying to bring me down
But you know that
They are aware of my success
I've been doing my thing
I've been pursuing my goals
I've been running my game
I've been living my life on my terms
And you know I won't look back
I won't regret my past decisions
I'm standing on my toes
I am reaching for my goals
To the sky I go
I am aiming for the highest levels of success
And you know you're the one to think
They think they know what's best for me
We all play it the same
We all face similar challenges in life
I don't want to be vindictive a dick addict addictive
I don't want to be hateful or addicted to pleasure
But if you curse a conspire my versus they will spit fire at ya
If someone tries to harm me, I will retaliate with my words
Trash me that's simple my lyrics think I won't hear it
You can criticize me, but I will always hear it
You careers in Disney Land did you say something? No? Pardon my
You don't have the experience or talent to judge me. Excuse me if I don't listen
Stronger 'cause you made me
The challenges I faced made me stronger
You will never faze me
You will never intimidate me
You can never take me down
You can never bring me down
It's all how I get down to it
It's all about my approach to life
It's all part of the game
It's all part of the challenges life brings
Yeah, the game
Yes, life's challenges
I ball like a baller
I live my life like a professional athlete
Clock G's, every day ya dig?
I make money every day, do you understand?
My prerogative, so I'm living positive
I choose to live positively and on my terms
Blind shine like I'm studied
I'm naturally good at what I do
You don't really want it
You don't want to challenge me
Pull a three in your, face cold blooded
I will defeat you confidently and ruthlessly
Hit it will I enter? Diller?
Will I succeed and make money? - a reference to an American rapper Daz Dillinger's name
Make believe or for real a Laker and a baker
Whether I'm pretending or serious, I'm a successful athlete and entrepreneur
Hell ya, black and yellow, he's a Steeler
My success is undeniable - a reference to an American football team Pittsburgh Steelers
Play it the same
We all face similar challenges in life

We have only just seen the video for the first time here in the uk. I didn't know that the song was released over a year ago. It's an amazing song as soon as I heard it yesterday on tv I had to buy it on iTunes!
