The way this go down is simple from this day forth
anything dealin' wit rap/stay off this the playoffs no payoffs
strictly skills if your brains insane then stick to ya deals
in this field it ain't all about sell in a mil
wit run of the mil
so just be tellin' it real
but usually it ain't like
a third time felon's appeal
'til a god school 'em and tell the deal
i'll allow you to write
maybe allow to bite
if you down to fight the power
here's the power to fight
i overpower the mic
hit the crow wit da bomb diggy
ring the alarm
now the squads wit me
from way back
i shown no weakness
when i speak this
mentally strong to keep this hit end
my speech is given
now listen from the beginning
'til i reach the endin'
my short story's winnin'
and keep the beat spinnin'
Chorus:
you know the name, pe
you know the game, pe
we ain't for the fame
we for the chance (word is bond)
i wake up every day wit my game face on
you know the name, pe
you know the game, pe
we ain't for the fame
we for the chance (word is bond)
i wake up every day wit my game face on
We back harder then ever
follow my lead
through the fast lane in the game
they follow my speed
either ease off the gas or floor it
you ain't ready to get it
i don't know why they keep askin' for it
this is real tv ain't no castin' for it
cop lights, news, camera no action for it
get the uncut raw
if you somewhat sure
hip hop is like a chess game
discussing the war
strategize
move like masterminds
when it's yo go
and it's yo dough
list time
just cash mine last time
i welcome y'all to the terrodome
use the mic to reach out
and touch instead of the phone
i appear from the rear
stay if i'm clear
nobody can say if i'm there
so they play it by ear
but here the way i lay the idea
from this point on
the rest of '98
put in high gear
Chorus:
you know the name, pe
you know the game, pe
we ain't for the fame
we for the chance (word is bond)
i wake up every day wit my game face on
you know the name, pe
you know the game, pe
we ain't for the fame
we for the chance (word is bond)
i wake up every day wit my game face on
