(Let me put you on game)

(Let me put you on game)

Don'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)

They love my darkness, I make them heartless

And in return they 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 grows 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, 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 veinses of the fiends

A paper chaser's pager, yo, I'm famous on the scene

One of the oldest, most ancientest 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, its gas, water, and electricity

I'm its gym, and its math, and its history

The gunshots in the class

And you can't pass if you're missin', G

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 traps

(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 find you tied up 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 shall 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 them from the table that held 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--
