Getting Out the Game
Kanye West Lyrics

There's only one girl on my agenda
I am focused on one particular girl

Naw I'm talking bout Linda, from last September
I'm referring to a girl named Linda whom I met in September

Now Linda love lace like Linda love lace
Linda enjoys wearing lace clothing

LaFace says she like +Mase+ but she love +Face+
LaFace music label prefers Mase, but Linda prefers Face (possibly referring to another artist)

And I know that Linda was a hip-hop-head
I know that Linda is a big fan of hip-hop music

And I know that Linda gave Hip-Hop head
And I know that Linda performed oral sex on me (using wordplay related to hip-hop)

But I feel I could convert her
But I believe I can change her preferences or beliefs

Cuz I ain't here to hurt her mayn
Because I have no intention of causing her pain, man

And she was messin wit me when I was still at Burger King
She was interested in me even when I had a low-status job at Burger King

She ain't hop in my bed cuz of the whips and cream
She didn't sleep with me just because I had luxurious cars and material possessions

Cuz when I had her in bed I had whip cream
Because when we were intimate, I introduced whipped cream into our sexual activities

Shakespearian midsummer night dream
Our romantic encounters were reminiscent of a dream from Shakespeare's play 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'

I unzip things and pull out big things
I reveal my impressive genitalia when undressing

They was flashin gr-green, she was like 'ch-ching'
My expensive jewelry was attracting attention, and she was impressed by the display of wealth

Got em, but she know a rreeal nigga when she, spot him
She recognizes and is attracted to a genuinely authentic person when she sees one

So now she's pickin dresses from Veroraiyn
Now she's choosing expensive dresses from the designer brand Versace

Scratchin out her maiden and here's my name
She's removing her old identity and replacing it with my name

Now I'm sittin at the bar wit all my guys
Now I'm sitting at the bar with my friends

They sayin 'Cheers to you for your future years of pain'
They are toasting to my future experiences of suffering and heartache

Like 'Dog you ready to give all this shit up?
They are questioning if I am willing to abandon my current lifestyle or relationships

The summer's on its way and these hoes doin sit-ups
As the summer approaches, women are getting in shape and becoming more attractive

And when they see the way the G-5 lights lit up
And when they see the impressive lighting on my private jet (G-5)

Your gonna wanna have two like John Ritter'
You will desire to have multiple women in your life, similar to the late actor John Ritter

But naww, I bought her a brand new BM
But no, I bought her a new BMW car

He said 'Dog, slow down like Brand Nubian now'
He advised me to take things slower, similar to the musical group Brand Nubian

I just feel the need to purge my soul from the work load
I have a strong desire to cleanse my soul from the burdens of my job

Couldn't watch another nigga get burnt slow
I couldn't bear to witness another person being taken advantage of or mistreated

She said her man was busy, always bored her with work load
She stated that her partner was always busy and neglected her needs due to work responsibilities

Never takes her out and falls asleep in his work clothes
He never takes her on dates and often falls asleep without changing out of his work attire

She needs some excitement, which leads to this indictment
She desires excitement in her life, which brings about this accusation or criticism

Believe what you like kid, according to her
You can choose to believe whatever you want, as per her statement

When we recorded with her, Linda changed her name to Nicky
When we were together in the recording studio, Linda decided to use the name Nicky

Sang along to Darlin Nicky, co-star of my quickies
She sang along to the song 'Darlin Nicky' and became a frequent participant in my casual sexual encounters

That foot is so pretty, but I'm sure you recognize
Her foot is visually appealing, but I'm certain you are aware of that fact

That bra holds titties, those are her titties
The bra provides support for her breasts, which are indeed her breasts

Solar's so pretty, but not to rub it in
She has a beautiful complexion, but I don't want to boast about it

But that white Russian did make her lonely like the wind
However, drinking a white Russian cocktail made her feel lonely, just like the wind

So the over right that's in, on the over night depends
The climax or resolution of our relationship depends on various factors throughout the night

If you take heed the game, and please keep ya name, word
If you pay attention to the lessons of this situation and maintain your reputation, listen to my advice

Cuz she's just a playa playa
Because she is the type of woman who likes to play games and manipulate others

That's playin games wit me
She is specifically playing games with me

I can't see myself getting out the game, no time soon
I cannot imagine leaving this lifestyle or situation in the near future

Ooooh, as I continue as I, Ooooh, as I continue as I
As I progress and move forward

Oooh, Oooh
Expressing satisfaction or pleasure

Can't see myself getting out the game, no time soon
I cannot envision leaving this lifestyle or situation in the near future

Ooooh, as I continue as I, Ooooh, as I continue as I
As I progress and move forward

Oooh, Oooh
Expressing satisfaction or pleasure
