What The Game Made Me - Jay-Z
I'm what the game made me
Not what the fame made me
No amount of money can change me
I'm what you lames can't be
Live ni**a what live as f**k
I'm what the game made me
Not what the fame made me
No amount of money can change me
I'm what you lames can't be
Live ni**a what live as f**k
Check live from the 718
Either respect the flow or learn your lesson from your weight
I'm wishing arthritis on all writers who knock my hustle
How can y'all understand the struggle
It's hard to live when you got greedy niggas in the mix
Knowing I outclass three e niggas in the six
So I outblast til it's empty clips
And I outlast niggas survival of the fit
One life I gotta make sure it's done right
Cause them yet to have a conversation bout reincarnation
Ball out until I fall out
Stick thick chicks try to tear they wall out
Hard to think about your future with nothing to gain
Hard to concentrate on school with stomach pain
Life's harsh I know y'all running from 'caine
But it'll only catch you and track you down
With no deal who you gonna rap to now
Start your own record company that's profound
Live niggas gonna rumble when you backs on the wall
Jive niggas gonna crumble and fall
I'm what the game made me
Not what the fame made me
No amount of money can change me
I'm what you lames can't be
Live ni**a what live as f**k
I'm what the game made me
Not what the fame made me
No amount of money can change me
I'm what you lames can't be
Live ni**a what live as f**k
Aiyyo whether in the pinto or rolling in the six
I come through cocky holding my dick
I never switch sh*t cause that's some b**ch sh*t
I get the bisquick take it to the district
Cause I could never get rich and switch my style
I just cop a little hurt to the mercantile
I'm trying to get it though rhyming with this six digit flow
Getting fly is the minimal holding something is the principal
Respect this young ni**a that's holding the torch
Preaching sh*t like the crack game don't take shorts
Throw it down it's a bet ni**a roll hard
Til you got something icey round your neck
In this concrete jungle get rich or remain humble
Never speak the biz at worst I might mumble
Niggas test it I spit guns angrily
Til all that remains is me
I'm what the game made me
Not what the fame made me
No amount of money can change me
I'm what you lames can't be
Live ni**a what live as f**k
I'm what the game made me
Not what the fame made me
No amount of money can change me
I'm what you lames can't be
Live ni**a what live as f**k
I went from no dough to show dough to money to blow
From umm ho I don't know to get deez
Never excuse me miss b**ch please never try to provoke
Same disrespectful cat I was when I was broke
Ain't nutting changed baby but the different faces I stop
Or maybe some of the places I shop
Now that I run through tracks like cleets with a air
For some of the hottest beats still catch me eating at pete's
F**k the foul cat who screamed out and threatened my life
It's all good here I come kid dead to the hood
Til I'm in the dirt foul cats like termites
Come out of the woodworks if they think you stack paper
Dead niggas react later while the cancer spread
Teach a team how to scheme before they answer lead
You know me I used to shoot hoops in the park ain't nothing changed
Except now I push coupe's in the dark
I'm what the game made me
Not what the fame made me
No amount of money can change me
I'm what you lames can't be
Live ni**a what live as f**k
I'm what the game made me
Not what the fame made me
No amount of money can change me
I'm what you lames can't be
Live ni**a what live as f**k
