The Game
Def Squad Lyrics

We be's hard to the core, sleepin' on the floor,
We're tough and dedicated, willing to work hard and sacrifice comfort

Step on stage, the fly girls adore,
Our performances draw attention and admiration from attractive women

With the wicked rhymes that you never heard before
We introduce new and impressive lyrics

The lyrical lexicon, matador's metaphor...
We excel at wordplay and comparisons, like a matador expertly using a cape

I be like, yes-yes y'allin, to the life beatin,
I'm enthusiastically rapping in time with the music

The Funk-Diggy Doc be comin' through non-sweetened,
I'm arriving with a raw, uncut flow

The 7-G Steven, I give you 10 minutes of that high-powered shit,
I'll give you a brief but impactful burst of energy

Til your heart stops beatin...
My style is so intense it can be a shock to the listener's system

??? 's the new member, flows tight, lethal,
An unnamed member has joined with tight and deadly rhymes

Scarin' those like I made the Scream 2 sequel
My lyrics are so scary, they're like a horror movie

Still the Grandmaster with the two MC's,
Erick Sermon is still the leader with Keith Murray and Redman as his MCs

Def Squad, Keith Murray, and the are-E-D...
A shoutout to the Def Squad and Keith Murray and Erick Sermon

And it don't make sense going against -
It's pointless to try to compete against us

I got too many styles, E got too much experience,
We have a diverse range of skills and expertise

Now you can swim or sink or jerk to think
You have options on how to react to our music

Or you could freshen up or let your dirty-ass stink,
You could improve yourself or stay stagnant and suffer the consequences

I don't give a fuck...
I don't care about your response

Wagga, wagga, wagga...
A nonsense phrase

Now why you tryin' to get funky like my name Big Bub,
Why are you trying to challenge me?

I'm from the Def Squad nigga, so show me some love,
I'm part of an influential music group, so respect me

When I spit, I grab the dick, I'm like Puff,
When I rap, I grab attention and control the situation, like Puff Daddy

I can't stop until I'm in helicopter cockpits...
I'll continue my success until I'm on top of the world

Ain't that right, E-Dub the top civilian, humble,
Erick Sermon is a successful yet down-to-earth person

with about sixteen million, stay hard rock
He's earned significant wealth and remains tough and dedicated

like if I was Charles Dutton, if you got balls to test, then yo,
He's as tough as Charles Dutton and will only accept challenges from brave people

Push the button...
If you want to challenge him, go ahead and try

Yo, push comes to shove, we rise above,
When the going gets tough, we excel

and stay dedicated to rap like Ghetto Love,
We maintain our commitment to the genre and culture, like a devoted romantic couple

People gettin' mad from the money we makin',
Some people resent our success

but they've been playahatin' since days of rollerskatin'...
Their jealousy goes back a long time

Yo what's yo name digga, comin' through non-stop,
Asking someone's name, and introducing oneself as a relentless force

I be that nigga fuckin' your girlfriend on your block
He's the one sleeping with someone's partner in their own neighborhood

And when I bust that 360 degrees, I'm not Busta
When he performs his memorable move, he's not imitating Busta Rhymes

But put your hands where I can see...
He commands his audience to comply

Can't be faded, me and my Squad is are-rated,
We're unstoppable and have a top rating

Hear my boys rockin' to somethin', you can bet I made it,
He knows his music will succeed, given his talented team

If not, confiscate it, it's like fake, it wasn't made by me,
Anything inferior will be rejected as fraudulent

Red - show'em who you be...
Redman is urged to demonstrate his identity and skills

Oh, it's my turn to burn, to wax again,
It's Redman's turn to shine and generate a new hit

It be's that nigga robbin' your crib with the Mack-10
He's the one breaking into houses with a powerful gun

With my nigga E-Dub, causin' troub', murder ya like O.J.
With Erick Sermon by his side, he's causing chaos and can eliminate anyone like O.J. Simpson did

with the fuckin' same glove...
Using the same modus operandi as O.J. Simpson

And it-ain't-no half-steppin', shit,
They're not taking any shortcuts or half-measures

we gets to rappin' like a nuclear weapon,
Their rapping is as intense and powerful as a nuclear explosion

And y'all don't blow up, and we always do,
They succeed while others fail

Take our advice, and y'all could blow up too
If you listen and learn from Def Squad, you could achieve success as well
