Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell them step they motherfucking game up
Step their motherfucking game up
My day ones never changed up
Bad bitch need no makeup
But she’s still beating her face up
She gon’ fuck around and get the boy kid
Fuck it I’ll take that pay cut
And I made this shit up right here
“To Infiity…’ Buzz Lightyear
This is my year, yeah
Peel the top off, it’s a titty car
No bottle service, it’s a titty bar
Chain heavy, that’s some cold shit
She ain’t fucking with me? That’s a whole bitch
Presidential, that’s the whole wrist
I ain’t gotta tell ya’ll I’m focused
I ain’t gotta tell you the whole squad lit
And we putting all ya’ll on notice
Line them motherfucking lames up
Tell them step they motherfucking game up
Step their motherfucking game up
My day ones never changed up
Bad bitch need no makeup
But she’s still beating her face up
She gon’ fuck around and get the boy kid
Fuck it I’ll take that pay cut
My squad, ET’s
Young Bulls, 3 peat
Straight green, GWAP Clique
H up, top lift
The team is a force like Ginyu
And my flow’s on Wayne Gretzky
It’s locked and I ain’t letting shit go
Like Jay-Z on a jet ski
Flow get lost like Khaled do
Flow might snap, no filtered shit
Hoes wanna ride, tell them “kick rocks”
Ya’ll don’t want to see your boy on that pimp shit
On my Chef Boyar B shit
In the kitchen in a mink tho
When ya’ll niggaz cook, it’s like E-Z Bake
When I cook, it’s like a pot and a hill of blow
Niggaz not in Paris, but gorillas tho
These hoes getting curved like banana clips
I’m trying to lay back on a beachfront
Smoking mad cubans in Havana shit
Spin the Wheel Of Fortune moving Vanna shit
Ya’ll little fucks couldn’t manage it
Shout out to my niggaz in the trenches still
Working wheels, we about to do some damage bitch
Line them motherfucking lames up
Tell them step they motherfucking game up
Step their motherfucking game up
My day ones never changed up
Bad bitch need no makeup
But she’s still beating her face up
She gon’ fuck around and get the boy kid
Fuck it I’ll take that pay cut
The song "The Game" by Bob and Doug McKenzie is a reflective piece about the future and what it holds. The lyrics evoke a sense of wonder, excitement, and apprehension about the future. In the song, the singer confronts their fears and embraces the unknown, taking comfort in the idea that they are not alone in their uncertainty and that they can shape their own future. The song encourages listeners to face the future with courage and to take control of their destiny, rather than letting events play out without their input.
The lyrics touch on several themes that are relevant today, such as anxiety about the future, the importance of faith, and the need to take action in order to shape one's own destiny. The song encourages listeners to embrace uncertainty and to see it as an opportunity rather than a threat. The use of repetition in the chorus reinforces the idea that the fears and uncertainties that individuals face about the future are shared by many others, creating a sense of solidarity and community.
Line by Line Meaning
I did a thing last night
I participated in an activity the previous evening
You know those future games
You are aware of the concept of futuristic games
I turned off all the lights
I switched off all light sources in the area
Oh, the future came
The future was imagined or embodied in the present moment
You were by my side
You were present with me during this experience
Will you explain?
Can you provide an explanation or interpretation of this experience?
Oh yeah
An expression of agreement or affirmation
Real rhyme or reason for those future games
Is there a logical purpose or explanation for playing futuristic games?
Now, you were there last night
You were present during the aforementioned activity
And oh, were you afraid
You experienced fear during the activity
Of things we'd come upon
Concerns about encountering certain aspects or consequences of the activity
While playin' future games
While engaging in futuristic games
But baby, it's alright and so have faith
Despite any fears, it's okay and important to have confidence and hope
You invent the future that you want to face
You have the agency to create the future that you desire
How many people sit home at night
A rhetorical question asking about the number of individuals who think about future uncertainties in their leisure time
Wondering if they will be here tonight?
Questioning whether or not they will be alive later in the day
Wondering if children will he bring to the light?
Questioning the fate of their offspring's futures
Inherit the world, or inherit the night
Either inherit a positive or negative future
Wondering if neighbors are thinking the same
Musing about whether others are also thinking about future uncertainties
All of the wild things tomorrow will tame
The unpredictable or chaotic future can be controlled or subdued
Talking of journeys that happen in vain
Discussing pointless or fruitless journeys towards uncertain futures
And I know I'm not the only one
Acknowledging that others experience similar thoughts and fears about the future
To ever spend my life sitting playing future games
To spend a significant amount of time thinking and worrying about future uncertainties
So you better take your time
Take time to understand and consider the future
You know there's no escape
Acknowledging that the future is unavoidable
The future sends a sign
Indicators or warnings of the future may manifest in the present
Of things we will create
The future is an outcome of our actions and decisions
Future games
Futuristic or speculative activities or ideas
I know I'm not the only one
Reiterating that others share similar experiences or thoughts about the future

They were basically mocking the American impression of Canadians, and then Americans started basing their Canadian impressions on Bob and Doug McKenzie, which was a satire of how the Americans thought Canadians talked and... I've gone cross-eyed...
deadNdivine12
Making me want to watch Austin Powers now..
Billy Bandyk
@deadNdivine12 So ironic; Mike Myers is Canadian also. Please check out "Wayne's World". U'll get the true essence of what represents CANADA!!!!!!
Granby Music Productions
nice Austin Powers reference.
Kris Ruppert
Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis told the story behind these characters a lot: they’re not making fun of Americans (well, a bit, probably, but not primarily Americans), they’re making fun of Canadian content regulations. While they were making the show, a law was passed saying that all shows needed a certain percentage of distinctly Canadian content. Their response was to ask what does that even mean? The whole show is entirely Canadian! So to comply with that regulation, the decided to write a sketch where they pile every Canadian stereotype on top of each other.
Billy Bandyk
@Kris Ruppert They sure did. I do recall their interview as such. SPOT-ON U R!!!!!
Shane Haney
America listened. We now have beers at every city boasting 4% to 14%. Thank you Canada!
Ben F
AFAIK it was a misconception that Canadian beer was stronger bc they've always used ABV but it used to be alcohol by weight in America, so a lower percentage. Pretty sure 4-5% is standard for a typical lager anywhere in the world.
Chile Pepper
@Ben F Perhaps that may be the case for the labeling, but I bartended through school back in the 80s and 90s and I can tell you that when Yanks came to in they would always note that Canadian beer was stronger.
Kevin Przy
@Chile Pepper Uhhh idk about that I don’t find Canuck beer that strong.
