Game Theory
Knox Hill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Runnin′ and gunnin' on these frontas
Man you with rockin′ the "Arrow Man"
It's "Knox Hil"l pullin' triggers out
In Maryland say ′word′ to my Terrapins
But back to topic hop-skotchin' on these ′hot blocks'
Dodgin′ enemies like 'hot rocks′ they takin' 'pot shots′
But the lyrical piece is ′top notch'
So get the coroner we shootin′ down the corridors
The red dot is filthy
It's just another day in ya neighborhood for ′real heat'

So get to screamin′ when you hit
Fire 'burnin' like a ′heathen′ in this bitch
Ain't no reason we would ′miss'
Unless you ′ain't married′
I got a whole section of the cemetery that's dedicated to my enemies
And those the Lord sent for me get bottles full o' Hennessy

So a pour a little liquor
I′m comin′ 'quicker′ than 'Ripper′ - Jack
'Slicker′ than a 'glass slipper'
Put a couple ′figures′ on ya 'head′ like a 'fitted cap′
You 'slippin′ - like a slip-n-slide
Pick-a ride "Mister-fly"
You can try to hide behind ya whip to find
That me I'm 'driven′ from a different side

That′s the 'Dark Side of the Moon′
Comin' soon the villager who′s pillagin' the room
Man I give it to you ′straight' no 'tricks′ like ′undercovers'
Draw ′first blood' like the ′eldest brother'
Always close in and smother never let your enemy recover
You gotta break their mind before you take their heart
Break their spirit first then they fall apart
Word to ′Sun Tzu' War's a motherfuckin Art

So live by the sword and die by the verse




And remember honor always comes first
This is simple "Game Theory"

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Knox Hill’s song Game Theory urge the listeners to adopt a strategic approach in their moves while living in an environment full of uncertainties. The artist uses an analogy of a game that demands quick reflexes and a top-notch mentality to survive. The opening lines suggest that the artist is on the front line with his team in a battlefield, where they face a constant threat. They are dodging enemies and facing challenges every moment. The mood is intense with gunshots and hot blocks, but the artist's lyrical pieces remain top-notch, making them unbeatable.


The artist also indicates that they are always ready for any challenge, putting a price on their enemy's head, and ordering a cemetery filled with their enemies. This shows that the artist's team is not only ready to face the challenges but is also prepared to bring down anyone who dares to cross them.


The song emphasizes the importance of strategy in a world full of enemies and unknown events. The lyrics suggest that a person should break their enemies' spirit before tearing them apart. War, in this case, requires an artful approach, similar to what Sun Tzu has taught.
