Help on the way
They say the games in trouble
Help on the way
Help on the way
Help on the way
Help on the way
They say the games in trouble
Help on the way
I got the game on lock
Standin' on top
Say hello to the man who saved hip hop
Say hello to the man who saved hip hop
Say hello to the man who saved hip hop
They say the game fucked up and the records ain't sellin'
It was bad in 06' gettin' worse in 07'
Market over saturated with all the bootleggin'
When it seems better shorty ain't no tellin'
Well, call Lyor, give him this message
Then hit K'ys tell hiim, tell Kevin
Craig, Julie Greenwald, all of them present
The fifty mill you gave me, was a sound investment
This time around we gon sell 5, no less than 4 on a slow day, call Vegas and bet
By the way, if you a winner, I'm the one you should be with Hit J
Tell them niggas to bet against
Grand Hustle homie, I'm a make you respect this
They say "The market share down", so... I ain't affected
Tell the label relax, ain't no need to stress shit
Just cut the check and I'll handle the rest... shit
They say the game in trouble
Help on the way
Don't worry bout nothin'
Help on the way
They say the games in trouble
Help on the way
I got this shit
Help on the way
They say the games in trouble
Help on the way
Don't worry bout nothin'
Help on the way
They say the games in trouble
Help on the way
I got this shit
Help on the way
I got the game on lock
Standin' on top
Say hello to the man who saved hip hop
I got the game on lock
It ain't gon' stop
Say hello to the man who saved hip hop
I got the game on lock
Standin' on top
Say hello to the man who saved hip hop
I got the game on lock
It ain't gon' stop
Say hello to the man who saved hip hop
You hear my name so hot, I got the game on lock
You niggas keep floppin', but i remain on top
Still the same ol' me, with the same ol' glock
From the first CD, with the Kangol top
I was hollerin' dopeboy when I first came out
It seems like everyone in the dope game now man
I told these niggas that it ain't gon stop
All the hatin' gon' stop or this thang gon' blah
Most of these niggas ,ain't slang ,no blocks
Got a lil' somethin', but it ain't so hot
Try to sell a record when my shit drop
Get the cover of the magazine when my shit out nope
I think not just why, if you ever eye with a nigga this fly
You better watch your mouth, you ain't that high
King of the south, you ain't that guy
They say the game in trouble
Help on the way
Don't worry bout nothin'
Help on the way
They say the games in trouble
Help on the way
I got this shit
Help on the way
They say the games in trouble
Help on the way
Don't worry bout nothin'
Help on the way
They say the games in trouble

Say hello to the man who saved hip hop
I got the game on lock
Standin' on top
Say hello to the man who saved hip hop
I got the game on lock
It ain't gon' stop
Say hello to the man who saved hip hop
To the fans and the critics, think hip hop is missing
This is a lil' proof that hip hop livin'
You can hear a hip hop top now, just listen
Now see a hip hop walk out with 6 bitches
In the ATL, see hip hop chillin'
In a multi-million dollar crib hip hop building
You know how many cars hip hops driven?
Nigga I'm everything hip hop's missing
Nigga you is everything hip hop isn't
My heart and my soul, where hip hop live at
To anyone who's ever said hip hops finished
It can't be dead while I'm still livin' in it
I'm livin' (and well, might I add that)
They say the game in trouble
Help on the way
Don't worry bout nothin'
Help on the way
They say the games in trouble
Help on the way
I got this shit
Help on the way
They say the games in trouble
Help on the way
Don't worry bout nothin'
Help on the way

In a multi-million dollar crib hip hop building
Hip hop culture is building multi-million dollar homes
You know how many cars hip hops driven?
You can't even count how many cars hip hop artists are driving
Nigga I'm everything hip hop's missing
I am the missing piece in hip hop music
Nigga you is everything hip hop isn't
You are the opposite of what hip hop music should be
My heart and my soul, where hip hop live at
My heart and soul is where the essence of hip hop music exists
To anyone who's ever said hip hops finished
To anyone who thinks hip hop music is dead
It can't be dead while I'm still livin' in it
As long as I'm alive, hip hop music is alive too
I'm livin' (and well, might I add that)
I'm alive and well, in case you're wondering
