I go crazy like someone wearing plastic Timberlands, and my lyrics are so good they go over people's heads like a New Era cap. I'm a member of the Bloods, so if anyone wants to start a fight, I'll pull out my Mac 10 and shoot until their skin is peeling off.

The A&Rs at the label always say 'not again' because every time we release someone, I destroy them. If I catch you in the alley without backup, what are you going to do?

You're all talk without any follow-through and I'm going to destroy you. I'm The Drama King- next on my list is Papoose or anyone else who wants to challenge me. I'm listening to Mobb Deep while I drive my Cadillac Coupe and like it so much I've added 100 bars to it. You couldn't make me sound bad even if you put Chico DeBarge on my track.


Im So Hard Homie I Swear To God Homie 50 Cent Still Bet His Fuckin Black Card On Me
I'm so tough, 50 Cent still trusts me with his money.

Stay calm because if things escalate, my guns will make it worse for you. My people are hungry and when they see you, they see a meal. Give up now or you'll end up in the ICU with IVs and having to learn how to eat again.

I'm not only a rapper, I have a business selling shoes. The next color I'm releasing is North Carolina Blue. I'm getting married to someone from North Carolina, but that doesn't mean you'll catch me wearing blue. If you see me in Raleigh, don't try anything stupid or you'll regret it.


On My Son I Push Yo Head Backwords Cuz Ill Never Ever Be The Next Dead Rapper
I swear on my son's life that I won't be another dead rapper. I'll push your head backwards to prove my point.

I'm not only a rapper, I have a business selling shoes. The next color I'm releasing is North Carolina Blue. I'm getting married to someone from North Carolina, but that doesn't mean you'll catch me wearing blue. If you see me in Raleigh, don't try anything stupid or you'll regret it.

I'm working behind the scenes like Jay-Z- some people don't want me to succeed, but I won't snitch on anyone. My Black Wall Street crew will come out and shoot up whoever needs it. I'll even shoot up a Maybach to give it a new look.


Now Back To The Basics My Flow So Amazin If This Was 88 And I Could Rap I Would Weigh U Out Like A6 Weigh U Out Like That Ugly Ass Bay Shit Funny Ass Jackets Got The Hood On Sum Gay Shit The Look Like Nikes Wit Stars On Em Face It The Whole World Blind Errbody On The Race Shit Roll A Blunt And Get Higher Then A Space Shit Touch The Sky Nigga Im On That Kayne Shit
I'm going back to basics- my flow is incredible. If this were 1988, I'd be the best. I don't care about flashy jackets with designs or people's obsession with shoes. Everyone is blinded by the competition. Smoke a blunt and get high enough to touch the sky because I'm on the same level as Kanye.


Back In The Day I Used To Bump Jazzo Run Up On U Take Yo Money And Yo Skateboard I Was A Asshole Now I Blast 4 Leave Him On The Grass Swole Kickin And Pushin Like Lupe Fiasco
I used to listen to Jay-Z's friend Jazzo and would rob people and take their money and skateboard. I was a jerk back then. Now, I'll shoot first and leave people lying on the ground. I'm like Lupe Fiasco, kicking and pushing my enemies.

I have a punch like Floyd Mayweather; don't try to play me or you'll get hurt like Glass Joe in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!. The police are after me because of my involvement in hip-hop, but I'm still loved in New York. People think I'm crazy like pistachios. I drive a Cadillac with lowered suspension because it has drugs and guns in it, just like Tony Montana's car in Scarface. I buy guns by the case and have people flying in from San Diego to help me with a job.


Come Through Give Yo Whole Hood A Make Over Sit On The Block In The Bullet Proof Range Rover Make U Fade To Black And I Aint Hova Think About That Be4 U Say The Game Over
I'll come through your hood and make it over until you're gone. I'll sit on the block in a bulletproof Range Rover and make you fade to black. Don't compare me to Jay-Z- you better think twice before you try to say the game is over.


U No I Usually Talk Alotta Shit At The End Of My Mutha Fuckin Freestyles But They Aint Nobody Else Left To Beef Wit....One
I usually talk a lot of trash at the end of my freestyles, but there's no one else left to beef with- it's just me.

Lyrics

Exclusive

[Intro: The Game]
I thought I leave you niggas wit a little something to play with
While I finish my fucking album
Everybody wanna know when the fuck my album coming out
Whenever the fuck I drop it
Wait...

[The Game]
Here the breakdown
Before I tell y'all who I be
I gotta say Proof R.I.P
That's for Em
The 40 ounce spilling that's for him
I got the system in the Bentley on blast for him
I go bananas like classic Timbs
And my lyrics go over a niggas head like a new era brim
And I bang like a new era brim
Translation: A brim is a blood; like me and Mac 10
Any nigga want the drama I reach for the Mac 10
Make the fitted cap spin, till it peel back skin
Eazy baby you don't want it, believe me baby
Yeeeeaahh, like Jeezy baby
L.A. on my face, the logo from the Dodger brim
I'm the face of L.A., you gon' see a lot 'o him
The niggas behind me, you gon' see a lot them
Enough niggas to fill up every room in the Ramada Inn
A&R's at the label like
"Not again, every time we put a nigga out Game slaughter them"
Catch 'im the alley, what you gon' do without your man?
Feel like I'm Bishop standing over Radames
You niggas bitches, throwing rocks, then hide ya hands
Till I chew yo ass up like Flintstone vitamins
I smell pussy, somebody let the cats loose
I'm the Drama King, you'd think I found Papoose
Who's next to put on the rat suit?
I fuck 'em Doggy Style, you can go ask Snoop
While I bump this Mobb Deep in the Cadillac coupe (haha)
Nah, I really like track number 2
So I put a 100 bars on it, you couldn't make my freestyle whack
If you went and put Chico DeBarge on it
I'm so hard homie, I swear to god homie
50 Cent'll still bet his fucking black card on me
Be cool, cause when the heats drew
Them hollow tips'll fuck up ya stomach, like seafood
My niggas hungry, when they look at you they see food
Give it up or I see you in the ICU with a bed and some IV's too
Nurse re-teaching yo ass how to chew
Fuck this rap shit, nigga I got a shoe
Next color on the shelf is North Carolina blue
I'm getting married, she from North Carolina too
But you won't catch me in the North Carolina blue
If you see me in Raleigh, just sliding through
Throw your rags in the air like North Carolinians do
Before you run up, think about what you're trying to do
Cause the 12 gauge eat niggas like piranha food
On my son I push ya head backwards
Cause I'll never ever ever be the next dead rapper
I'd rather be alive pushing some 2008 shit
Cause you gotta be dead in a box to be somebody's favorite
I ain't saying I'm about to go where Ma$e went
But you won't find me upside down on the pavement
I'm behind the desk on some Jay shit
Some niggas don't want me to shine, can you say snitch?
Black Wall Street niggas hop out and spray shit
A.K. spit, give that Maybach a face lift
Now back to the basics
My flow so amazing if this was 88 and I could rap, I'd wear you out like Asics
Wear you out like them ugly ass Bape shits
Funny ass jackets got the hood on some gay shit
Them look like Nike's with stars on 'em, face it
The whole world blind, everybody on that Ray shit
Roll a blunt and get higher then a spaceship
Touch The Sky, nigga I'm on that Kanye shit
Back in the day I used to bump Jaz-O
Run up on you, take ya money and ya skateboard, I was a asshole
Now I blast fo', leave 'em on this grass swole
Kicking and Pushing like Lupe Fiasco
I got a jab like Floyd, even Zab know
Try to Play The Game, get punched out like Glass Joe
Hip-hop cops on my dick, hit the Ave slow
Mad cause I get love in New York, like DiMaggio
Brooklyn niggas say my flow nuts like pistachios
See me in the '64 and wonder why the ass is low
I got them bricks in it, that real yayo
That Tony Montana, drop the shit off the Pedro
I buy guns but the tons, bullets by the case load
We can find Osama when I say so
I got niggas flying in from San Diego
That'll smoke your town turn it into Waco
Come through give ya whole hood a makeover
Sit on yo block in the bullet proof Range Rover
Make you fade to black and I ain't Hova
Think about that the next time you say The Game over

[Outro: The Game]
You know I usually talk a lot of shit at the end of my motherfucking freestyles
But it ain't nobody else left to beef with....
One
