Recognize Game
Too $hort Lyrics

Well alright. Spice 1 in the hiddouse
Spice 1 is here, and everything is good

(and Short Dawgs in the house bitch).
Too $hort is here too

With the L.A. Players (soldiers to the game you know?) Yeah.
The L.A. Players are here, ready to play the game

(Peep game fool).
Pay attention and learn something

Ant Banks at the crack house
Ant Banks is at the spot where the crack is sold

Ha ha ha better recognize game when it's in your face bitch).
Laughing at those who don't recognize the game when it's right in front of them

It's obvious mad cash got me gassed
Too $hort has a lot of money and feels good about it

Shark tanks and views millionaire cruise buying cars in twos
Too $hort is living the high life, buying expensive cars and enjoying the view

"Never lose" my motto since birth
Too $hort's motto is to never lose from birth

Double up knots and crack spots
Making twice the money at spots where crack is sold

Snitches lead out by silence gun shots
Snitches are killed with no one talking about it

Map the area I wanted to cut the fuckin' cops a deal
Trying to bribe the police in a certain area to look the other way

If they don't kneel, They get peeled
If the cops don't take the deal, they will be killed too

Bitches recognize I never have no drama with death
Women know that Too $hort doesn't play games with life and death

Bustas always try I leavin' 'em gagging spittin' up flem
Enemies always try to bring Too $hort down, but fail miserably

Take a pen make a mil and if this shit don't sell
Making a million dollars from writing, even if the music doesn't sell

I still got the street powder back to flippin' flower
Going back to selling less profitable drugs if the music doesn't sell

South Central nigga what?
Asking what's good in South Central

The representer, damn your girl seen me comin' and ran
Too $hort is representing his area and women are afraid of him

Young enough to be my daughter
Referring to a younger woman

My posse use to flip her like a quarter
His crew used to have sex with her

To state to my man for man slaughter
Referring to murdering someone for his homie

Caught her in the stairway took her out the fairway
Having sex with her in the stairway and then leaving the area

Trunked the punk bitch (That's fair play)
Putting the woman in the trunk of the car is just part of the game

[Chorus]
Repeating the hook

You've got the gangstas that I have tangled baby
Too $hort is involved with gangsters

Bitch recognize game when it's in your face
Women should recognize the game when it's right in front of them

"Well alright y'all" "ha ha ha"
Repeating the intro again

You think the town rid of Short?
Asking if people really think he's gone from the game

You must be crazy, that silly shit you talkin' just don't faze me
Not caring about people who don't take him seriously

I could make a phone call and just like that
Knowing people who can help him out instantly

A bunch of niggas from Oakland all on your back
Sending people from Oakland to handle business

I've never been a shot caller just a nigga in a crew
Too $hort is not the boss, just part of a crew

They call me Too Short but I'm still bigger than you bitch
Although his name is Too $hort, he's still more powerful than his haters

I been around you can take a turn but don't get burned
He's been in the game for a long time and knows how to avoid being hurt

I've seen the tables turn
Experienced a lot of changes in the game

Marks turn into killers rich niggas go broke
People change unexpectedly

Use to be a want to but now I'm old school Short
He's been around for a long time and has never changed his style

In the game never had the stacks since age 14
He's been in the game since he was 14, but never had a lot of money

I been spittin' these raps soakin' up the game up
He's been learning from the game and using it in his music

And even when I came up I fucked with same folks
He's remained loyal to his crew

Still did the same stuff
Kept doing what he's always done

Bitch Short Dawgs in the house
Referring to himself

I know you want my dick 'cause it's all in your mouth
Women are obsessed with him

[Chorus]
Repeating the hook again

Picture the game as a quarter toss it up in the air (uh ha)
Imagining the game as a coin toss

Heads or tails win or lose broke niggas are players
Whether you win or lose, being broke is still part of the game

Say what up to the S.P. crooked I.C.E.
Giving shout outs to other rappers

Ra rolling with the strap on the side of me
His friend Ra is carrying a gun

Partna' don't get it twisted up I got hollow tips extended clips
His friend is armed and dangerous

Major chips lookin' at Eclipse jacuzzi dips
Making a lot of money and relaxing in a hot tub

Niggas step back I don't know you
Telling people to stay away who he doesn't know

Don't get to close to me
Asking people to give him some personal space

Some niggas ain't really the motherfucker they suppose to be
Some people aren't true to themselves

Cloud killers don't aim until you shoot in the air
People who want to kill wait until they are provoked

Better put it down and brake some hoes off like a true player
Acting like a true player and getting rid of women who cause drama

Phoney as three dollar bills niggas ain't recognizin'
People aren't real and don't see what's truly going on

Fell in the relapse besides I'm a trauma a nigga
Having a relapse and causing trouble

Look in the eyes and when you see me I be hardcore
He's a hardcore person and it shows in his eyes

What the fuck a real nigga gotta lie to kick it for?
Asking why real people would have to lie to fit in

I'm tired of these bubblegum ass niggas
Fed up with fake people

Throwin' monkey wrenches into the game
Ruining the game by causing problems

And all the players and pimps feel my pain
Other people in the game understand his struggle

Hustlers maintainin' riches and keepin' presidentials
People who work hard keep their money and have political connections

Not artificial with fishin' niggas know I'm packin' missles
Not fake and people know he's armed

Get me two Bentleys some houses Johnson jet skis
Buying multiple luxury items

Ballin' till I die nigga don't fuck with S.P.I.
Living the high life and warning people not to mess with him

[Chorus]
Repeating the hook for the final time
