The Game
Mr. Silky Slim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The devil was an angel then god sent him to hell
Said that meek shall inherit the earth then sent him to jail
What's rehabilitation when they expect us to fail
How can Pimpin be a crime when bitches sending themselves huh

They like Silky where the fuck you been
I been down and around I'm a fuckin Pimp
Yall act like this rap shit is serious
I been out trapping your favorite rapper its serious
Niggas mad at me because they baby mamas is curious
But she don't wanna choose, I send them hoes on they period
Set em down religiously ism is spiritual
Crown fit the king its PGO in ya stereo
High up, over looking the strip
Over all of the bullshit, over charging the bitch
You can leave or you can stay
Ill be good either way
But where the hell you gonna go
Who you know that's cooler than this huh
Who flow is purer than his
Turn down a show for a choosing fee hey it is what it is
Hey hoe if you choosing me don't play with the kid
Id hate to have to flash like barry allan an them

Been a long way
Long road
Still at the top of my game
Still at the top of my game

I been through mad different fazes
Like mazes to find my way
And I now i know that happy days are not far away
I never claimed to be a saint but on my ladder days
I been climbing to the top just to have it mayne
Never mind what you got what you after mayne
Would you want it if the climaxed matched the pain
Perforce timing on the rollie till them taxed came
Everything that that get lit turns to ashes mayne
How many years they been praying on my downfall
Waiting watching wishing I would drown slow
Hating plotting trynna take my crown off
They can't stop him gotta be that man cloth
PGO the brand Boss
Heavy is the head that wear the crown
I got paper to get I aint entertaining you clowns
I can't hear you say it louder you barley making a sound nigga

Been a long way
Long road




Still on the top of my game
Still on the top of my game

He also touches on the theme of materialism, questioning whether people want the things they desire if the pain they endure to get them isn't worth it. He states that even though people have been waiting for his downfall, he remains at the top of his game and will continue to focus on making money for himself and his brand.
