Game Tight
Kevin Gates Lyrics

Game tight - simplest form - street nigga
The essence of my lifestyle is being a street nigga and keeping my game tight.

Complexity- different with arms
Despite the challenges and complexities I face, I am always armed and ready.

- squeeze triggers steady looking at God
I remain calm and collected as I prepare to take action, even in the face of uncertainty and danger.

Trapped in these ways rap to get paid
I feel confined by the circumstances I'm in, so I turn to rap music as a means to earn money.

Or death and get sprayed
The alternative to making it in the rap game is facing death or harm.

Fuck no - I ain’t no new jack
I refuse to be seen as inexperienced or naive.

Since 88 I knew crack
I have been aware of the drug trade and its consequences since 1988.

Temper through the roof a nigga blew on me
When someone angered me, my anger reached its peak and I retaliated.

I blew back hoes used to call me blue black
I responded aggressively to those who doubted or disrespected me, even though I used to be underestimated.

Money helped me through that
My financial success helped me navigate and overcome those challenges.

Started? and outgrew that
I started from a difficult situation, but I was able to evolve and surpass it.

My mind was like fight
My mindset was focused on survival and constantly battling.

It’s the battle of your life
Every day is a struggle to overcome obstacles and emerge victorious.

It’s cold up in this real world
The real world is harsh and unforgiving.

Niggas want stripes
Others are always trying to prove themselves and gain respect.

Never bark but don’t bite
I don't talk about what I will do, I actually follow through with my actions.

Never scratch and don’t hit
I don't show weakness or attack unless provoked.

Nigga try to play ya sideways
Someone attempting to deceive or betray you in a cunning manner.

Runoff in his shit never fall for a bitch
I won't be fooled by a deceptive woman and instead will retaliate against those who cross me.

Less the bitch make ends
Unless the woman helps me make money or achieve my goals.

Look know you from the streets
I am aware of your background and street credibility.

So you ain’t goin' have no friends
You can't trust anyone or expect true friendship in this lifestyle.

Keep it loaded keep it cocked
Always have your gun loaded and ready to fire.

Nigga keep it off safety
Don't rely on the safety mechanism, keep the gun ready to shoot at any moment.

I’ll be a motherfucker if I
I refuse to let someone harm or kill me.

Let a nigga waste me
Allow someone to fatally injure me.

Place me six feet under no remorse
If I die, there will be no regrets or mercy shown towards my enemies.

To make my mama cry
Bringing pain and grief to my mother with my death.

And get all shaky in her voice
Causing her voice to tremble and shake with sadness.

To see my kids struggle
Witnessing the hardships my children will face without me.

Like I did in the south
Similar to the difficulties I experienced growing up in the southern region.

Imma lay em on a stretcher
I would rather attack and harm those who try to harm my family.

‘for I let em take me out
I will do whatever it takes to protect myself and my loved ones from harm.

First apologies to my bitch
I need to apologize to my partner for the time I spent away from her.

And all the nights I spent away
Reflecting on the many nights I was absent from my relationship.

Afraid of having sex
Fearful of unintentionally transmitting the HIV virus to my partner.

For fear I might just give her aids
I am worried that I might unknowingly infect her with AIDS.

My pockets and my contraband
Both my financial situation and illegal possessions draw attention and scrutiny.

A focus of my happiness reaching for a mill
I believe that accumulating wealth is the key to my happiness and fulfillment.

Getting closer just to grabbing it
I am steadily progressing towards my financial goals and coming closer to achieving them.

I prolly heard words of wisdom
There were probably people who tried to offer me advice and guidance.

Didn’t receive it vision - I’m the reason
I was too stubborn or blinded by my own ambitions to listen and accept their wisdom.

My mother - steady grieving
My mother is constantly in a state of mourning and sorrow.

I'mma underachiever
I have not lived up to my full potential or fulfilled the expectations others had of me.

And I’m the one they call
Despite my shortcomings, I am the person others turn to in times of trouble.

When them guns get to squeezing
When conflicts escalate and violence breaks out, people rely on me to defend them.

My brother - ain’t sleeping
My brother is constantly alert and on guard, unable to rest peacefully.

My cousin - ain’t either
My cousin is also restless and vigilant due to the dangers we face.

What is love re-define
I struggle to understand and redefine the meaning of love amidst the chaos and hardships of my life.

I don’t understand the meaning
Love is an enigma to me, and I find it difficult to grasp its true significance.

Feelings never care
Emotions are often disregarded and overlooked in my world.

My father was never there
My father was absent from my life, leaving me to navigate the challenges of the streets on my own.

React - regret later gates never scared
I respond immediately to threats or provocations, without fear of the consequences, and only regretting my actions later.

My life been a bitch
My life has been full of struggles and hardships.

Hold a nigga - willing I fuck her
I hold onto the difficulties and pain, willingly indulging in them.

She go to squealin'
The pain becomes unbearable and I express it through vocalizations.

To let me know she feel it
The pain serves as a reminder that I am alive and capable of experiencing emotions.

She grab the pillow and grip it
In moments of intense pain or distress, I seek comfort and release by clutching onto a pillow.

Screaming Gates God damn show your ass
I cry out in anguish, calling upon my own name and demanding to see my true self.

This is a set up
I suspect that the pain and struggles I experience are a deliberate plan or plot against me.

My nerve got a way with words
I have a confident and intimidating way of speaking.

Itching to speak pen line from the grind
I am eager to express my thoughts and experiences through writing, which reflects the hardships I've endured.

On the tip of my teeth
The words are ready to be spoken and are right at the forefront of my mind.

My money from a different standpoint
I have obtained my wealth and financial success from a unique and unconventional perspective.

It’s on the up and up
My finances are steadily increasing and becoming more prosperous.

Fuck him he’s selling cut
I have no regard for someone who sells inferior or diluted drugs.

Imma customer Imma touch him up
As a consumer, I will confront and physically harm the person selling inferior drugs.

My bitch getting cussed out
I am scolding and berating my partner, expressing my frustrations towards her.

Niggas getting punched out
I resort to physical violence, punching those who provoke or anger me.

Missed call 'Rastaman - boo
I missed a call from someone I address as 'Rastaman' or as an endearment term.

Wot ya fuss about
I question the purpose or reason behind their call or their current state of agitation.

Read it on the other end
As I read through their message or communication, I realize their intention or message.

Hammer dead flushed out
An expected or anticipated danger has been eliminated or avoided.

Bye to the bus only let you know
I am saying goodbye or bidding farewell to a situation or people, but ensuring they understand my message.

What trust about
Highlighting the lack of trust and the unreliable nature of certain individuals.

Fully loaded detachable stock on the machine
My weapon is fully equipped and ready to fire, with additional attachments for maximum efficiency.

Right underneath my armpit
I keep my weapon concealed and easily accessible, positioned under my arm.

I hold up the team my Glock on everything
I am the one who supports and protects the group, and my Glock handgun is my primary means of defense.

A pop better believe it
A gunshot will be fired, and it's important to believe and understand the consequences.

You don’t go in the box
If you don't want to end up in a coffin or grave.

Doc see medical region
The doctor will only see you when you are wounded and in dire need of medical attention.

Shot better than breathing
The act of shooting a gun is more natural and instinctive than breathing for me.

I’m guessing this evening
I anticipate that tonight will involve violent confrontations or shootings.

Betting on Marquita to drop letters to Reezy
I am relying on Marquita to send letters or messages to Reezy, possibly involving plans or information regarding the upcoming confrontations.
