All I Know
Nas & The Game Lyrics

All I know is this pain in this life
The only thing I am certain of is the pain and struggle that comes with living

And this struggle it chose me so
I didn't choose this struggle, it was thrust upon me

All I know is that I'm stuck on this road
I'm committed to the road of success, and it's not easy

Of success so I got to get mine
I need to work hard to achieve my success

All I know, all I know
These are the only things I am certain of

Red phantom, they say I look like Josh Smith from Atlanta
People have said that I look like basketball player Josh Smith

I do, ha-choo, excuse you, that nigga look like me
Actually, I think he looks like me

He from the G.A., and I'm M easy, that's Game
He's from Georgia, and I'm from California and my name is Game

I don't do what you niggas do, that's lame
I don't follow the same path as others, that's boring

I Soo Woo with my crew from the from the Burque
I represent the Bloods gang with my crew from Albuquerque

I Soo Woo with my crew, from under Young Wayne
I also represent the Bloods with my crew under Lil Wayne

A walkin' motherfuckin' flame livin' up to my brothers name
I'm a hot commodity and I'm keeping the legacy of my fallen brother alive

Rockin' that red shit, wasn't fuckin' with them other gangs
I only represent the Bloods and don't associate with other gangs

Amongst other things, they wasn't fuckin' with me
Other people didn't want to mess with me for various reasons

Ain't your average motherfucker, I'm a motherfuckin' G
I'm not just an average guy, I'm a gangster

I got some shit on my chest that I want to get off
There are things that are bothering me that I need to speak about

I got some shit for that vest that will knock that bullshit off
I have a weapon that can take out someone wearing a bulletproof vest

Money like Madoff, Kill 'em like Adolf, Roy Halladay
I have a lot of money, I can kill like Adolf Hitler, and I'm also referencing the baseball player Roy Halladay

I'll let a fuckin' K off, and I don't take a fucking day off
I won't hesitate to use my gun, and I'm always ready

Cincinnati C hat, Boston B hat, ? them Philadelphia P hats
I'm naming baseball hats from different cities

Believe that, bring it to the hood so you can see that
I'm bringing my message to the people in the hood

Dumb ass niggas like Game, where the keys at?
People underestimate me and think I'm stupid, asking me where the drugs are

Automatic start, nigga where the trees at?
I have a car with a remote start, where can I find some weed?

Red boned bitch like Alisha, where the keys at?
I'm looking for a lighter-skinned woman named Alisha and asking where the drugs are

Freeze that, like a fucking picture
Stop what you're doing or freeze the drugs like a picture

If you ain't a blood I ain't fucking with ya nah I'm just fucking with ya
If you're not a member of the Bloods gang, I won't associate with you, but I'm joking

Stay on my hood shit, hop in the bucket with ya
I'm staying true to my roots and getting in a bad car with you

Throw the ski másks on and get to straight fucking with ya
I'm putting on ski masks and getting straight to business with you

Ain't that some shit, that bustards sick
That's messed up, this bastard is crazy

You wanna know how I'm livin' nigga ask your bitch
If you want to know about my life, ask your girlfriend

I came in her mouth ask her lips, you know why?
I had sex with her and she knows about me because I am good in bed

'Cause I had to go past them lips, trick
I had to work hard to get to her and I'm calling you a name for asking

You probably paid for that ass and tits for
You most likely paid for her body modifications

Fuck with the blood clot, smile for my mug shot
Don't mess with me or I'll take you to jail and smile for my mugshot

Can't go out like 'em but I love Big, I love Pac
I won't die like they did but I have respect for Biggie Smalls and Tupac

Love Fab, love Kiss that's where the love stops
I respect Fabolous and Jadakiss but that's as far as my love goes

'Casue I sleep with the enemy and I hug blocks
I work with rival gangs sometimes and I'm always carrying a gun

Birthed me in the drug spot, nigga with a attitude
I grew up in an area where drugs were rampant and developed a tough attitude

Searching me is fuck cops, nigga pay your gratitude
I don't like being searched by cops and believe people should respect me more

Before you say I'm acting Ruth
Before you say I'm acting like someone I'm not

Understand I'm tryna feed my people
You should realize that I'm trying to provide for my community

Hati just like Compton the way I'm packing food
I'm packing food for Haiti just like I would for my own city of Compton

But I will act a fool, put cheese on your head
I'm willing to act crazy and put a bounty on your head

Motherfucker I will Green Bay Packer you
I'll beat you like the Green Bay Packers beat their opponents

Have a whole football team of niggas after you
I'll have a large group of people after you

Like the public turn, when will you fucking learn
People will turn on you just like the public does when they're fed up

Now take your ass back to school
You need to go back and learn more, because you're not very smart

Wait till three o'clock click clack at you
I'll wait until after school and then shoot you

And fuck with your conscience like back packers do
I'll mess with your head like backpackers mess with people's minds

And I ain't Talib, Black Though or Mos Def
I'm not like conscious rappers Talib Kweli, Black Thought or Mos Def

But I've seen the most deaths and nigga I'm just telling you
But I've witnessed a lot of death and I'm just sharing my experience with you

All I know
These are the only things I am certain of
