[Chorus: Marsha & {Nas}]
To everybody who knows my story.
To all of those who came before me.
My time is now.
I'm gonna do it all over again.
Ain't nothing new.
Ain't nothing change.
I'm still gonna do it my way. (Way)
Yeah, I still remain.
So tell me why you hate the game? (The sun shines. Oh, oh, oh, oh)
So tell me why you hate the game? (The sun shines. Oh, oh, oh, oh)
{Y'all know what it is. The streets named me Illmatic. For that I'm still at it}
This time I do it better just because. {Can't hate us}
[Nas:]
Felon.
Vice behind me on the intersection.
Sex and drugs, my anthology on perfection.
Dress superb, admired by conspirers.
Who wanna try me but ain't high enough to four-five me up.
Child of the eighties, y'all n***as is lazy.
Complain about labour pains, n***a show me the baby.
And my n***a Game, light another L, pass the bottle.
(And the sun shines with you)
Pro-black, I don't take cotton out of aspirin bottles.
Yeah, I learnt my lessons and heard y'all snitching.
Witnessing you rocking with narcs, confirmed my suspicion.
Green fatigues on, My n***as I bleed for 'em.
I can show 'em the water but can't make 'em drink it.
And I can show them my fortunes but can't force 'em to think rich.
And still I don't abort 'em when and if they sink quick.
Ignore the ignorance, I rep the brilliance of Queensbridge.
(And the sun shines with you)
And pray the fans let Murder Inc. live.
[Chorus: Marsha & {The Game}]
To everybody who knows my story.
To all of those who came before me.
My time is now.
I'm gonna do it all over again. (Somehow)
Ain't nothing new.
Ain't nothing change.
I'm still gonna do it my way. (Way)
Yeah, I still remain.
So tell me why you hate the game? (The sun shines with you. Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, No love lost.
I do it just because.
So tell me why you hate the game? (The sun shines. Oh, oh, oh)
{I don't talk about my guns, n***a I just blaze}
This time I do it better just because.
[The Game:]
'Pac is watching, Big is listening.
While Pun talking to us, Jam Jay still spinning.
To every n***a listening I was supposed to be amongst kings, my Mom shouted out at my Christening.
And while you still listening, Shyne locked in a man hole.
And Cam got shot inside his lambo', example, life is a gamble.
15 years old red rag around my head, My sisters used to laugh and call me 'Rambo'.
(And the sun shines with you)
Seen Eazy's legacy melt away like a candle.
I rekindled the flame.
Dre created The Game.
N***a with a attitude from the cloth I came.
Young homie ate his way up from the bottom of the food chain.
Keep the crown, clown, I rock a L.A. Dodger fitted.
Showed my ass at Summer Jam but New York was down with it.
Now the ball's in my court, never dribble out of bounds with it.
(And the sun shines with you)
Behind the back to Nas, he alley oop to Jigga, N***a.
[Chorus: Marsha]
To everybody who knows my story.
To all of those who came before me.
My time is now.
I'm gonna do it all over again. (Somehow)
Ain't nothing new.
Ain't nothing change.
I'm still gonna do it my way. (Way)
Yeah, I still remain.
So tell me why you hate the game? (The sun shines. Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, No love lost.
I do it just because.
So tell me why you hate the game? (The sun shines. Oh, oh, oh, oh,)
This time I do it better just because.
[The Game:]
Check it!
Me and nasty puffing, this a classic, trust me.
How you gon' pass the dutchie to them n***as that don't love me?
I'm talking n***as that never wanted to see me on top.
Same n***as that never wanted to see the Doctor's Advocate drop.
Flop, I think not.
I'll f*ck you rap n***as like virgins.
Dre took my training wheels off his curtains.
I don't need no encore, no claps, no cheers.
(And the sun shines)
The Game ain't over, this the beginning of my career.
The ending of yours, the ending of his.
Like Flavor Flav's clock, I'm back to handle my biz.
"N*gga, it's Game Time", that was Dre's favorite line.
Back when Proof was in the booth and I recited his lines.
And I still think about my n***a from time to time.
Make me wanna call 50 and let him know what's on my mind.
But I just hold back cause we ain't beefing like that.
He ain't Big and I ain't Pac and we just eating off rap.
One love!
[Chorus: Marsha]
To everybody who knows my story.
To all of those who came before me.
My time is now.
I'm gonna do it all over again. (Somehow)
Ain't nothing new.
Ain't nothing change.
I'm still gonna do it my way. (Way)
Yeah, I still remain.
So tell me why you hate the game? (The sun shines with you. Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh. No love lost.
I do it just because.
So tell me why you hate the game? (The sun shines. Oh, oh, oh, oh)
This time I do it better just because.
