Game: Mars

Chorus:
I been looking this way, ever since i remember
And it aint gone change so i dont care what them people say ay ay ay ay ay
I will forever be this way ay ay ay ay ay ay i will forever be this way!

Verse1:
Hey yo, hey yo,
Keep the game in HD on ESPN while i fuck these lesbians rubbing on they breast and then, and then light up a swisher let it fill my lungs.
Reflecting on the days when i was banging in the slums
From that to number 1, at the grammy's with my gun
Thought i was winning album of the year but then Missy won
Maybe next year, they say im underrated im under appreciated and its Mr. west here.

Chorus:
I been looking this way, ever since i remember
And it aint gone change so i dont care what them people say ay ay ay ay ay
I will forever be this way ay ay ay ay ay ay i will forever be this way!

Verse2:
Always stay the same,
Even though i cant write it to change the game
You can never change the game, im just trying to make a change,
Stay positive but the negative shit make it easier to make some change.
So? i use to take a chain, so? i use to rob a store
So? i use to load a clip and tell my niggas time to go
Empty the clip and tell em hallow tip vamonos.
I know its uncommon to see a gangsta' with a common flow.

Chorus:
I been looking this way, ever since i remember

And it aint gone change so i dont care what them people say ay ay ay ay ay
I will forever be this way ay ay ay ay ay ay i will forever be this way!

Verse3:
Now as the time flies a rappers albums is getting weak as fuck, i feel like i dont need this bitch feel like i dont need this truck.
Keep your rabbits foot nigga i dont need the luck.
All i need is my niggas a half of Oz. of weed to puff.
Kickin' it with this rat im about to beat it up
Thinking about droppin' this tape how ya'll gone eat it up
Take my time on you niggas ain't no need to rush
You think you seen it all, nigga you ain't seen enough.

Chorus:
I been looking this way, ever since i remember
And it aint gone change so i dont care what them people say ay ay ay ay ay
I will forever be this way ay ay ay ay ay ay i will forever be this way!

Verse4:
Nooww.. as we prepare for dinner, chop the table in half this side is for the sinners
But im forever in limbo parked in this Lambo
Banging this instrumental that i got from Timbo
Wishin' i would of just burned my demo
Wishin' i would of never hopped inside the Doc's limo but i did look at what i did
I'd give everything back except my kids.. yeee

Chorus:




I been looking this way, ever since i remember
And it ain't gone change so i don't care what them people say ay ay ay ay ay i will forever be this way ay ay ay ay ay ay i will forever be this way!
