The Rap Game Lyrics

    Hook:

    Trg we making that cream
    People get fooled it ain't easy as it seems
    You can rock on till the break of dawn
    But one by one your ass is gone

    I got trapped in the rap game at sixteen and saw
    It's no more than a crap game, know what i mean?
    Like when you feel you shake em right
    They fake roll snake eyes in this industry that's how quick niggaz die
    Through my eyes it's like russian roulette
    Never do you know when you about to get wet
    So you should stay set so you don't fall and go under
    Have people saying i wonder what happened
    To him or her it's sad when you begin to think
    You can't be gone but you can be gone in the blink
    Of an eye, don't ask why cause you try
    Somebody came along that was twice as fly
    I remember when i hit the scene it was the second phase
    Rope chains two finger rings, those were the days
    Latin quarters my puma suit was cool
    Now let me be caught in that and i'll be damned a fool
    Ya gotta change with the times like the weather
    Mc's that alsts is the mc's that's clever
    You can't move too slow cause when it's to time to go
    You see it's to time to go

    Repeat hook 2x
    (1. but one day brother your ass is gone)
    (2. but one day sister your ass is gone)

    Come back after come back, nigga came back
    More wack than the wackest wax on the rack
    What's up with that, new jacks are coming through
    Taking no slack
    They hungry and they looking for a spot
    To cop a squat, you better watch the clock
    It can be awfully embarassing to not know when
    To let go of the rhyme, it's about half past the monkey ass
    You should have been gone but you still trying to hang on
    What happens when you chilling at the label on the 10th floor
    Nobody knows your name anymore, aren't you...?
    Wait and let me think, just as quick as you get large
    You can quickly shrink
    And sink into the crates and collect dust
    Don't be mad cause it happens to the best of us

    Repeat hook 2x

    To and fro they come and go
    You better change your flow and then switch up your show
    I mean come with the booming ass hits
    Then they gone buy then they don't leave with shit
    You better tell an exec you need to be set
    So when it's over you ain't living our your land rover
    When your rap life dies
    And you still alive nigga, you better know how to survive
    It ain't easy and it ain't supposed to be
    Letting niggaz know what time it is
    When it comes to me the l-y-t-e
    Stronger than the ox the octane that
    Knocks in your brain i sustain
    My mission is to maintain sane, know what i mean?
    Keep doing my thang, you can't move too slow
    Cause when it's your time to go, gotta go

    Hook
