Rap Game
d12 50 eminem Lyrics

The rap game, hip-hop 101
The world of rap, a basic course in hip-hop

The hardest nine to five you'll ever have
The most difficult and demanding job you'll ever experience

You can't learn this shit in no history book
This knowledge isn't found in any traditional educational material

You ready to rap, motherfucker?
Are you prepared to engage in rap music?

You ready to sell your soul? Hahaha
Are you willing to compromise your integrity for success in the music industry?

The rap game will fuck you up
The rap music industry can have a detrimental impact on your life

I'm a disrupted nigga, you made me crazy
I'm an unstable individual, and you're partly responsible for my mental state

You shoulda slayed me as a baby
You should have killed me when I was a child

Behavin' shadier than Wes Craven
Engaging in suspicious and sinister behavior, similar to the horror filmmaker Wes Craven

And you ain't even gotta pay me
You don't need to compensate me for my actions

I take pleasure of laying a nigga down daily
I derive satisfaction from defeating and dominating others regularly

You face me, drunk or sober, you'll faint fast
If you confront me, whether under the influence or not, you'll quickly lose consciousness

I'm never fucked up to where I can't whoop your ass
I'm always physically capable of defeating you in a fight

You'll neck'll get snapped with bare hands, fuck music
I can break your neck with my bare hands, regardless of your musical talent

Is he rappin'? It's cool but fools, just don't confuse it
Is he rapping? It's fine, but don't mistake it for something more meaningful

What happens, these dudes get rude and then I lose it
When these individuals become disrespectful, I become uncontrollable

I'm scandalous, I blow your two kids off the atlas
I'm ruthless, I would harm your two children without hesitation

With a gat that's bigger than Godzilla's back, nigga
With a firearm larger than Godzilla's body

You are not real and in fact, you'll feel the effect
You are not authentic and, as a consequence, you'll experience the consequences

Of a crack dealer, y'all president sends me smack
As a metaphorical crack dealer, your president supports and encourages my destructive actions

And got a Mack 10 with it, so I ain't gotta rap
And armed with a powerful firearm, I don't need to rely solely on my rapping skills

But I'm thankful for that, don't mistakin' me, black
I appreciate this advantage, but don't misunderstand my gratitude

Or you'll be stankin' in the back of a fuckin' Cadillac
Or you'll end up dead and rotting in the trunk of a Cadillac

I'ma get snuffed, 'cause I ain't said enough to pipe down
I'm at risk of being assaulted because I haven't remained quiet

I'll pipe down when the Wh- H- is wiped out
I'll remain silent when the White House and its corruption are eliminated

When I see that little Ch- dyke get sniped out
When I witness the assassination of a certain political figure

Lights out, bitch, adios, goodnight
You're about to be eliminated, farewell, goodnight

Now put that in your little pipe and bite down
Now consider and reflect on that information

Think for a minute 'cause the hype has died down
Take a moment to contemplate the decrease in excitement and attention

That I won't go up in the Oval Office right now
That I won't confront the President in the Oval Office at this very moment

And flip whatever ain't tied down upside down
And disrupt everything that's not securely fixed or controlled

I'm all for America, fuck the government
I support America, but I despise its corrupt government

Tell that C. Delores Tucker slut to suck a dick
Insulting and demeaning C. Delores Tucker, critic of rap music

Motherfucker ducked, what the fuck, son of a bitch
Coward avoided confrontation, frustrating me

Take away my gun, I'm gonna tuck some other shit
If you take away my firearm, I'll find another weapon to carry

Can't tell me shit about the tricks of this trade
You can't educate me about the strategies and techniques in this profession

Switchblade with a little switch that switch blades
I possess a concealed knife with a mechanism that deploys multiple switchblades

And switch from a six to a sixteen inch blade
And transition from a small knife to a longer sixteen-inch blade

Shit's like a samurai sword, a sensai
This weapon is similar to a samurai sword, a masterful teacher

Shit just don't change to this day
This situation hasn't changed up until now

I'm this way, still tell that ut-slay itch-bay
I remain true to myself, still addressing those foolish individuals

Uck-say my ick-day, 'scuse my ig-pay atin-lay
Fuck my dick, excuse my pig Latin

But uck-fay you ig-pay
But fuck you, pig

(50)

I bet you'd rather me drink and drown in my own inequity
I assume you'd prefer me to self-destruct through excessive drinking

But fuck that, I'ma rap 'til y'all all get sick of me
But I reject that idea and will continue rapping until I exhaust your patience

And clutch my nutsack and spit all who pick at me
And assert my dominance and retaliate against those who criticize me

A pitt and rott mix, fuck the dogs you sic on me
A combination of aggressive dog breeds, I'm not afraid of the threats you send my way

I'm sayin' you motherfuckers don't know us, quit playin'
I'm telling you, you don't understand us, stop pretending

If I'm broke, then I'm breakin' up in the place where you layin'
If I'm financially struggling, I'll resort to burglary at your residence

You know, same shit every nigga done in his life
You know, the same actions every person has engaged in

I lived it, that's why I speak on what I want when I write
I've experienced it, that's why I express my thoughts freely in my lyrics

So why should I ever fear another man
So why should I be afraid of someone else?

If he bleed like I bleed, take a piss and he stand?
If he bleeds and urinates like me, he's just as human as I am

OK, you win, you can say we can't rap
Fine, you can claim that we can't rap

But no Source never made me not buy an album
But negative reviews from a music publication never influenced my decision to purchase an album

When they said it was wack
When they declared it as inadequate

I walk in the party and just start bustin'
I enter a party and immediately start shooting

Right after I hear the last verse of 'Self Destruction'
Immediately after listening to the final verse of the song 'Self Destruction'

This liquor makes me wanna blast the chrome
This alcohol intensifies my desire to discharge my firearm

To let you know The Time without Morris Day and Jerome (nigga)
To inform you of my dominance without the help of Morris Day and Jerome (nigga)

I'm low down and shifty, quickly call Swifty
I'm untrustworthy and deceitful, I immediately contact Swifty

To do a drive-by on the tenth speed with 50
To commit a drive-by shooting on a bicycle with 50 Cent

Ya feelin' lucky? Squeeze
Are you feeling fortunate? I'll pull the trigger and find out

I catch you outside of Chuck E. Cheese
I'll confront you outside of a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant

With your seed, you'll be an unlucky G
With your child present, you'll experience unfortunate consequences

My lifestyle is unstable, a partyin' addict
My way of life is unpredictable, I'm addicted to partying

They said no fightin' in the club so I brought me a 'matic
They prohibited fighting in the club, so I brought a firearm

Coughin' and static, I jump niggas, call me a rabbit
Creating confusion and chaos, I surprise and attack individuals, likened to a rabbit

Poppin' the tablet and guns to saw you in half with
Consuming drugs and wielding firearms to brutally harm you

Believe me, we run this rap shit, fo' sheezy
Trust me, we control and dominate the rap music industry

Make makin' millions look easy (yeah)
We make earning millions of dollars seem effortless

Everywhere you turn, you see me, you hear me
I'm omnipresent, you can't escape my presence or my music

Believe me, before you see my pistol in 3-D
Trust me, you should be aware of my firearm before encountering it in three dimensions

No time to call a peace treaty
There's no opportunity to negotiate peace

Dial 911, 'cause you need the police to help you, believe me
Call emergency services because you'll require police assistance, trust me

I snatch the tongue from the sidewalk and piss on the curb
I grab someone's reputation and degrade it, disrespecting them

This is absurd, these street niggas twistin' my words
This situation is ridiculous, these individuals from the streets are distorting my messages

We finally could say goodbye to Hollywood
We can finally bid farewell to the glamour and falsehoods of Hollywood

'Cause Proof and Sean Penn share nothin' in common
Because Proof and Sean Penn have no similarities or connections

The nastiest band with gas in each hand
We're the most provocative and offensive group, armed with controversy

We never bow down to be a flash in the pan
We never conform to fads or short-lived trends

No remorse, fuck your stature, dog
We have no regrets, we don't care about your reputation, buddy

Nothin' to do with hands when I clap at y'all
I have nothing to do with applauding when I attack all of you

I'll put your jaw on the ground with the four and the pound
I'll knock you down and break your jaw with my powerful firearm

Then I'm gone outta town 'fore the law come around
Then I'll leave town before the authorities arrive

So we can battle with raps, we can battle with gats
So we can compete in rap battles or engage in gunfights

Matter of fact, we can battle for plaques (this rap game)
In fact, we can compete for accolades and achievements in the rap music industry

I'm too fuckin' retarded
I'm extremely foolish or mentally challenged

I don't give a fuck about my dick
I don't care about my own sexual desires

That's why I'm datin' Lorena Bobbet
That's why I'm in a relationship with Lorena Bobbitt, known for castrating her husband

My group had an argument, who was the largest
My musical group had a disagreement about who was the most important or influential

Now they all is dead and I'm rollin' as a solo artist
Now they're all deceased and I'm pursuing a solo career

Plus I made the beats and wrote all the raps
Additionally, I composed the instrumentals and wrote all the lyrics

Well, I really didn't, but I did accordin' to this contract
Well, not exactly, but that's what my contract suggests

I was thrown in the snow with nowhere to go
I was abandoned in a cold and desperate situation

Freezin' 20 below, forced to join Bel Biv Devoe
Enduring freezing temperatures of -20 degrees, I had no choice but to join Bel Biv Devoe

My little girl, she shouldn't listen to these lyrics
My young daughter shouldn't be exposed to these explicit lyrics

That's why I glued her headphones to her ear to make sure she hear it
That's why I securely attached her headphones to her ear to guarantee she hears it

If rap don't work, I'm startin' a group with Garth Brooks
If my rap career fails, I'm forming a musical group with Garth Brooks

Hahaha, 50, sing the hook
Hahaha, 50 Cent, provide the chorus

This rap game, this rap game (yeah)
Referring to the rap music industry, emphasizing its existence

I ain't sellin' my soul for this rap game
I refuse to compromise my integrity for success in the rap music industry

And I ain't diggin' no hole for this rap game
I won't bury myself in problems for the sake of the rap music industry

Man, I'm tellin' you, no, it ain't happening (woo)
I'm informing you that it's not going to occur, expressing confidence in my decision

I bet you'd rather me drink and drown in my own inequity
I assume you'd prefer me to self-destruct through excessive drinking

But fuck that, I'ma rap 'til y'all all get sick of me
But I reject that idea and will continue rapping until I exhaust your patience
