Hahaha
Hahaha
You feel it?
Well if you're trying to stop me it don't matter
I got the power of a 40 caliber
Got the flow, got the style, got the stamina
Better call you a police and ambulance
Slower than four legged animals
All I need is a blunt of that canibus
And I leap in the air like a catapult
Look way up there it's a bird it's a plane
No it's the savior to change the game
Doin my damn thing
Shootin' em up like bam bang pow
Getting a little bit now
Lettin' em know to bow down
Yup it's b o bizzle and I'm letting em know what I'm about.
[Hook: B.o.B]
They got the cameras on let em know it's game time
Strap em up strap em up cause it's game time
Toe to toe
Blow for blow
Now it's game time
Yea it's game time
Yea it's game time
It's game time
It's game time
It's game time
Lettin' em know it's game time
It's game time
It's game time
It's game time
Lettin' em know it's game time
In B.o.B's song "Game Time," he comes in strong with a boastful and confident attitude of being unstoppable. He tackles opponents who try to stop him with ease, using his powerful talent for music and lyrics, and his impressive ability to perform at a high level. He rips and races through them with his jumpy, high-energy style that is truly electrifying. He suggests that if someone tries to stop him, he won't hesitate to use his immense power acquired through his love for music, which he compares to the power of a 40 caliber.
The hook offers a continuation of B.o.B's confidence, as he challenges his audience to join him in the arena. With a fist-pumping beat and funky rhythm, he declares that it's game time and urges onlookers to get ready for a toe-to-toe battle. He slams down his authority to remind everyone that he's the man who drives things home with an unrelenting spirit. There's no fear in B.o.B's game time as he's coming off as someone who's confident and knows what he wants, commanding both respect and admiration for his music and his genuine love for being the best.
