Put You on Game

Let me put you on game

Let me put you on gameDon't you know that I run this place?

And I've begun this race must I rerun this pace?

I'm the reason it's become this way

And their love for it is the reason I have become this praised

(Let me put you on game)Love my darkness, I've made them heartless

And in return, the have become my martyrs

I've been in the poem of many a poet

And I reside in the art of many a artist

(Let me put you on game)Some of your smartest have tried to articulate

My whole part in this but they're fruitless in their harvest

The dro rose from my footsteps, I'm the one that they follow

I am the one that they march with

(Let me put you on game)Through the back alleys and the black markets

The Oval Offices, the crack houses and apartments

Through the mazes of the queens, the pages of the sages

And the Chambers of The Kings

(Let me put you on game)Through the veins-es of the fiends, a paper chaser's pager

Yo, I'm famous on the scene

One of the oldest, most ancient-est of things

Speak every single language on the planet, y'all mean?

(Let me put you on game)I am the American dream, the rape of Africa

The undying machine, the overpriced medicine

The murderous regime, the tough guy's front

And the one behind the scenes

(Let me put you on game)I am the blood of this city, it's gas, water and electricity

I'm it's gym and it's math and it's history

The gunshots in the class

And you can't pass if you missing G

(Let me put you on game)I taught them better than that, I taught them aim for the head

And hope they never come back

I'm glad your daddy's gone, baby, hope he never comes back

I hope he's with your mother, with my hustlers high in my trap

(Let me put you on game)I hope you die in his trash

I can't help it all I hear when you're crying is laughs

I'm sure somebody'll find you tied in this bag

Behind the hospital little baby, crack addicts had

(Let me put you on game)Then maybe you can grow up to be a stripper

A welfare-receiving prostitute and gold digger

You can watch on TV, how they should properly depict you

The rivers should flow with liquor, quench your thirst on my elixirs

(Let me put you on game)I am the safe haven for the rebel runaway and the resistor

The trusted misleader, the number one defender

And from a throne of their bones I rule

These fools are my fuel so I make them cool

(Let me put you on game)Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool

And feed 'em from the table that held the Corleone's food

If you die, tell them that you played my game

I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name

'Cause I'm the
