The Game

by JOHNNY CASH

All right, everybody shut up
I said shut up!
Now are you ready to play the game?
NO!
Are you ready to play the game?
YEAH!
The Game
Playing to survive
Aiming to win anyway they can
Yo, yo
Pass the ball, final casting call
First of all, verbal basketball
Off the glass, smash your jaw
Too fast for y'all
You might take a nasty fall
Trying to stick with the prehistoric passenger
(Foul Ball)
All breath, no physical contact
Bounce back, demonstrate invincible bomb raps
Not no hustler no player or speakin no crime crap
I'm vocally trying to score before my time lapse
Uh! Full court press, hands in your chest
Runnin' cause I'm a rebel with the ghetto
No fouls just checks, make a brother sweat
Word for y'all to earn my reject
Get it out of here, attack from the rear
Ya'll niggas aint nothin but some bitch ass queers
I'll be in your ear, increase the fear
Rippin with the shears as the crowd just cheers
Bring on the opposition
Cause my position is to shut you down
As the basketball pounds on the concrete floor
Envisioning moves to freak brothers every which way
Dominating like Doc J.
Pass me the rock, I know just what to do with it
It's real vivid, I pivot, through the lane
Three hundred and sixty behind my back
I take your monkey ass to the rack like Jerry Stack
I'm saw by most recruiters and heavily recommended
Stickin your best shooters they lower verbal percentage
It's takin its toll, 24-second clock control
Stoppin this obstacle, impossible
I was the number one ?? project in the city
Prospect, now thats something that you can believe
So be it, whether pro or collegiate, the hit but don't miss
Prime time the offense, switch
Y'all can't ball, Y'all can't ball
Yo ref, where's the tech? Man, make the call
The game is gettin tight verbal victories in sight
What counts is what you write not concerned about the hype
My rhymes go baseline so why you tryin to take mine?
Last man tried just died inside the paint line
I bank rhymes, got a call so I flex
I'm on the foul line with a few verses left
When my flow hits the net, the next brother flex
I put my foot in the pavement
With the brothers I'm raised with
Play with and break dance back in the days with
And still in the game with 12 points, 4 assists
Get up in the game, in your face like swish
Crash the boards with metaphors
In the air like a concord
Aiyyo what you out for?
Yo I'm out for the whole score
22 flat seconds for me to win
I can't win for losin with this cheatin ass ref
[Clip from Laker game]
My squad's supreme
So I don't need Clyde or the dream
Next time you play the game boy pick a better team
Your choice is short when you on a concrete court
But my mental cohorts is bout to change the whole sport
Give me the pill boy, crossover with the skills
Wrap around pass, fly right past your grill
Take off from half court, in some J5 shorts
The rap band with the man when my words play sports
Comin' through your lane, with pure skills so stand clear
Vocal charge is a mirage, I still stand here
Damn near, make your shit look soft like Pam Grier
Fans cheer for the paragraph Bill Lambier
Show me the rock, so I can show these fool what I got
(He's heating up) Fuck that, I'm flaming hot
Verbally take you to the blacktop, and wreck shop
Turn my game up a notch, pass me the rock
1 on 1, 3 on 3, 5 on 5, horse, 21
It really don't matter cause son you'll still get done
Yo you should know better than try to barter with this globetrotter
Militious, vicious dunks, I'm Vince Carter
And it's the high draft pick, flashin it
Still can penetrate and slightly overweight
But whatever it takes my shot can elevate
No pain, no gain for the brothers with no game

Don't want to fall in love when it's in front of us.
Why can't we dream? Fantasize without compromise,
a tear duct short of an alibi.
Please thaw me out, and brush me off.
Is love is quite the fallacy,
underneath the mystery?
So, you finally came right
out of my head and into my arms.
Now these feelings I know,
I'll never let go. I've beaten the game.
My alter ego's upstairs strung out on the couch.
I need a touch of innocence, so comfortable.
So velvet lush and nectarous,
there is a price to pay for dreaming.
Is love an emergency? Join in my perplexity!
So, you finally came right
out of my head and into my arms.
Now these feelings I know,
I'll never let go. I've beaten the game.

by Phil Vassar

Will I just tell you to give up?
No matter how you'll play this game
But I can handle the sorrow
Whatever time is running out
You wonder why
Our last goodbye
It's relieving my tears, it's so easy
I won't deny
Life changed my mind
My, my, mind
Will I be such a dreamer?
No matter how I'll play this game
To get is symptom of giving
Whatever time is over now
You wonder why
Our last goodbye
It's relieving my tears, it's so easy
I won't deny
Life changed my mind
My, my, mind
You wonder why
Our last goodbye
It's relieving my tears, it's so easy
I won't deny
Life changed my mind
My, my, mind

The Game

by Greg Laswell

Got an illusion, I wanted to say there's something wrong here,
A lot to take, I need to play the game again.
All my friends are slipping in the mud,
Well it's a lot like dying, a lot like trying,
All my friends are misunderstood.
I don't know which way to point my kiss,
Well it's a lot too clever, it's all too severe,
All my friends are cold in their graves.
Got an illusion, I wanted to say there's something wrong here,
A lot to take, I need to play the game again.
Got an illusion, I guess it's ok there's something wrong here,
A lot to take, and I need to play the game again.
All my friends are living in denial,
Well you ask no questions, I'll tell no secrets,
All my friends are trying to smile.
I don't know which way to point my kiss,
Well it's a lot too clever, it's all too severe,
All my friends died right here.
Got an illusion, I wanted to say there's something wrong here,
A lot to take, I need to play the game again.
Got an illusion, I guess it's ok there's something wrong here,
A lot to take, and I need to play the game again,
I need to play the game again.
Got an illusion, I wanted to say there's something wrong here,
A lot to take, I need to play the game again.
Got an illusion, I guess it's ok there's something wrong here,
A lot to take, and I need to play the game again.
Got an illusion, I wanted to say there's something wrong here,
A lot to take, and I need to play the game again.

by bjork

Grey eyes flicker
Cold is the weed
Worn out shoes
Air full of grief
It is you now
Stuck within
Soul is burning
No chance to win
What have you done to the game
Was it a victory, a shame
Where have you gone
Before morning dew
The game will not end
Without you
Ears of lost minds
Luke and torn
Dresses rotten
And broken stores
And the meaning
It's sold too soon
Can the blister
Substitute the moon
What have you done to the game
Was it a victory, a shame
Where have you gone
Before morning dew
The game will not end
Without you
And the hot sun
Paints the door
Your philanthropist
Sighed once more
Wind was blowing
Air through pipes
Holes in bodies
Mortal crimes
What have you done to the game
Was it a victory, a shame
Where have you gone
Before morning dew
The game will not end
Without you x2

The Game

by Ministry

The Bar was dark and quiet and still
And nothing could be heard
The dust lay undisturbed
At a table near the back, underneath a fan
Two men shared a joke about the normal folk
The cards are on the table
The winner takes it all
The game is nearly over
One man about to fall
Well I don't believe in heaven
I don't believe in hell
I don't believe what I'm seeing
This is no game, can't you tell
I'm calling your bluff! the first man said
The people went to war, they always wanted more
How could I ever fail to lose
They can't take it any more, they want to end the score
The second man showed his hand
Some walked barefoot across the land
And many have seen the future
And are doing the best they can
CHORUS
Instrumental
CHORUS
The clock ticked past the final hour
Now which of the men had lost? and what was the cost?
The glasses now were empty and gone
To wash away the shame, and take away the pain
One man left the table
The other was head in hands
He paid the bill for the defeated
The only thing that's left that stands
CHORUS x2

The Game

by Tori amos

How have you been, nice to see you again
How quickly these conversations seem to end
You meet a friend, every now and then
How quickly these relations turn into trends
Put all your walls up and open your windows
And close all your doors
You catch yourself standing in front of the mirror
And now you need more
What do you wish for
To catch you as you're falling
So easy to ignore
But now you hear it calling again
I wouldn't want to be you
This lonely game that you play
Between your walls you confuse
Every heart that you break
So afraid that you'll lose
Always a void to replace
I wouldn't want to play you
You try and pretend, the truth is hard to bend
How easy these translations can be read
What if you were led to play a different game instead
How hard these frustrations are to mend
Does it matter to you?
Just Wait

by Corneille

It's getting dark outside and
I'm ready to walk on your side
All girls and boys
Let's meet at the platform tonight
The trains are running fast in town tonight
All you fat ass butt pussies stay at home tonight
Me and the girls are playing the game real tight
Me and boys are playing the game tonight
Waiting at the platform
Kissing the girls good bye
Looking for a get together
At the local club tonight
Our knifes ready, drinks at hand
And I'll get under your Wonderbra tonight
Me and the girls are playing the game real tight
Me and boys are playing the game tonight

The Game

by Pink Floid

A sense of duty
was my one intention
and an ugly beauty
was my own invention
Pride a proud refusal
and I refuse
to need your approval
Too many seekers
Too few beacons
But through the fog
we'll keep on beaming
Through the crying hours
of your glitter years
all the living out
of your tinsel tears
and the midnight trains
I never made
'cos I'd already
played...the game
Everybody's
got their own good reason
why their favorite season
is their favorite season
Winter winners
and those summers sons
aren't good for everyone
aren't good for everyone
Spring has sprung
and autumns well done
so well done
And it's a better thing
that we do now
forgetting everything
the whys and hows
While you reminisce
about the things you miss
you won't be ready
to kiss...goodbye
The earth is a world
The world is a ball
A ball in a game
with no rules at all
And just as I wonder
at the beauty of it all
you go and drop it
and it breaks and falls
I'll never understand
why you thought I would
need to be reassured
and be understood
When I always knew
that your bad's my good
and I was ready
ready...to be loved
Born under Mars
With Jupiter rising
Fallen from stars
That lit my horizon
I'll never understand
why you thought I would
need to be reassured
and be understood
When I always knew
that your bad's my good
and I was ready
ready...to be
Through the crying hours
of your glitter years
all the living out
of your tinsel tears
and the midnight trains
I never made
'cos I'd already
played
it's a better thing
that we do now
forgetting everything
the whys and hows
While you reminisce
about the things you miss
you won't be ready
to kiss...goodbye

{It's only right that I address this}
{Gotta be in it to win it}
{I never come lame type chillin in the game}
{Now get busy}
Raised by game where niggas ain't fazed by fame
Come to the crib, get banged, they take your chain
Stay in your lane, broke back ain't the way of the game
My brainstorm is like I stay in the ring
My favorite was Kane, now I'm dope with weight in the game
You was hot but can't stay in the rain
Ghetto pain and windows crack
The fist is like a symbol for black
Can tell the real by how the interact
In the middle of whack my soul stick to a track
Kickback records get kicked to the back
I want big cribs and my man Ronnie to get his
Child in a good school and know what her gift is
It's global warming, the world is shifting
Watching Sweet Sixteen, Bithin-ass rich kids
You know, I know I gotta go the distance
Whether yoga or doja, we all get lifted in the game.
[Hook]
I never kissed that ass of the masters, I'm the black molasses
Thick and I last, pass these rat bastards
They try to box me in like Cassius clay
Hey I'm like Muhammad when he fasted
Opposing the fascist
Made cuts and got gashes, scratches over third eyelashes
Punchlines are like jab pits to rappers
Whose careers now ashes, it's too many slashes
In their name, fame in the game
From weak lines to clothing lines to an actress
I seen em dashing smash hits
I yell run nigga run! while I cook up classics
The weak hearted, become Babylon puppets
Making it hard for real hustlas
Touch the sky now and then, with a lady friend
Give thanks to the most
That's how the day begins in the game.
[Hook]
I just wanna be like Akeelah, an achiever
From the streets of the Chi where some get high for leisure
Selling weed out of cleaners
From rocks to barber shops and beamers
Chicks with blond weaves and strong legs like Serena
The demeanor of the Ghetto, to never stay settled
Aldermen and corrupt men play Pharaoh
Good bring business to the hood like heralds
Find your own, walking by themselves in the street
The young die of cancer, I stopped eating meat
Greet the gods on 87th Street like peace
Even though it's, got em facing the east
The game ain't tasting as sweet
Cats flow is still, and his compliance with beats
My radio station is deep, so eff em
Progression, counting paper and blessings in the game.
[Hook]

I’m looking at the future now
And all the time it’s taken
I’ve got no time to close my mind I might just be mistaken
At least I know how to play the game
You go round and round and round
Just when you think you lose sight of your heart and your mind
You’re in the game again
Just when you think the world is unfair and unkind
You’re in the game again
I’m looking at the days gone by what happened to the laughter
I’ve got no time to close my eyes to find out what I’m after
At least I know that it’s all the same
You go round and round and round
Just when you think you lose sight of your heart and your mind
You’re in the game again
Just when you think the world is unfair and unkind
You’re in the game again

It's time to play the game.
Time to play the game!
Hahahahaha.
It's all about the game, and how you play it.
All about control, and if you can take it.
All about your debt, and if you can pay it.
It's all about pain, and who's gonna make it.
I am the game, you don't wanna play me.
I am control, no way you can change me.
I have heavy debts, no way you can pay me
I am the pain, and I know you can't take me.
Look over your shoulder, ready to run.
Like a cleveland pitch, from a smoking gun.
I am the game, and I make the rules.
So move on out, or you can die like a fool.
Try and figure out what my move's gonna be.
Come on over sucker, why don't you ask me.
Don't you forget there's a price you can pay.
'cause I am the game and I want to play.
It's time to play the game.
Time to play the game!
It's all about the game, and how you play it.
It's all about control, and if you can take it.
It's all about your debt, and if you can pay it.
It's all about the pain, and who's gonna make it.
I am the game, you don't wanna play me.
I am control, there's no way you can change me.
I am your debts, and no you can't pay me.
I am your pain, and I know you can't take me.
Play the game, your gonna be the same.
Your gonna change your name, your gonna die in flames.
Time to play the game!
It's time to play the game!
It's time to play the game!
It's time to play the game!

Way down, way down
Underneath the garden
Wrapped up in some plastic
Thats where you'll find the bones
Of Christopher John Whitner
He was the first slain by my hand
He was the bass player in my band
But I'd had all I could stand
Of the game
Well it started with the little things
He'd make a mess, he'd break his strings
He'd book us gigs and then forget the days
On practice days he'd seldom show
And by the time he did it was time to go
And in the studio he finally sealed his fate
I put him way down, way down
Underneath the garden
Wrapped up in some plastic
Yea, thats where you'll find the bones
Of Christopher John Whitner
He was the first slain by my hand
He was the bass player in my band
But I'd had all I could stand
Of the game
Well we played on through the summer's heat
But Josh could hardly keep the beat
It seemed as though he'd drifted into space
Always upstairs drinking 40's
Or outside chasing shorties
I finally had to put him in his place
I put him way down, way down
Underneath my bedroom
Walled up in the basement
Yea, thats where you'll find the bones
Of little Joshy Eppard
Not the first slain by my hand
He was the drummer in my band
But I'd had all I could stand
Of the game
Well I guess that I've gone overboard
Cause as I sit and strum these chords
They sure could use a baseline and a beat
And now the mirror makes me halt
I realize its all my fault
Its time to turn these murderous hands on me
And I'll be way down, way down
Underneath the garden
Walled up in the basement
Yeah, that's where you'll find the bones
Of guys without replacement
All be the last slain by my hand
I'm gonna reunite the band
And we'll be in another land
All the same

What are they gonna say when you just move along?
We'll get you out of here, just be strong,
(We'll get you, get you out.)
I thought I saw you today, I couldn't be wrong.
(Oh, and you have changed.)
You were caught between the lines and you couldn't get out.
It's been a few years since you left home.
Do you miss your residence?
Just keep on trying and you'll get out soon.
You'll get out soon.
I think you're doing much better but you say I fold.
You think you're oh so clever but you say I fold.
You say I fold.
Give up and give up and move on and move on,
With the rest, with the rest of your lonely life.
Have you selled yourself?
It's such a shame the way they use you up, destroy your name.
We'll get you out of here, just be strong.
Gonna bend the life you can't get out.
I think you're doing much better but you say I fold.
You think you're oh so clever but you say I fold.
You say I fold.
Give up and give up and move on and move on,
With the rest, with the rest of your lonely life.
I think you're doing much better but you say I fold.
You think you're oh so clever but you say I fold.
(Give up and give up and give up and give up)
You say I fold.
(And move on and move on)
You say I fold.
(With the rest, with the rest)
You say I fold.

World’s gone mad
Hey the world’s on fire
Food’s too dear and your gas is higher
Got to eat, and you’ve got to breathe
Got no money, well, it’s time to leave
Dow Jones crashes, the cats get rich
See them laughing (?)
It’s a game (big game)
It’s just a game (a big game)
Profit’s in hey, what’s going on?
All this time, it’s the same old song
If you’ve got dough, they’ll lend you more
When you’re broke, you get shown the door
They’ll take your home and they’ll take your car
Make you live in your mom’s backyard
The rich get rich, then get rich some more
Pretty soon, they’ll be all at war
It’s a game (big game)
It’s just a game (a big game)
So who’s to blame?
It’s just a game
Playin games with people’s lives
Who struggle hard just to survive
The world is goin’ up in flames
(?) it’s just a game

My friend's wife, she plays the game
Plays it with me all the time
Makes me feel pretty good, I guess
Hey that's a pretty dress
But you shouldn't have
No, you shouldn't have
Let me know
No you shouldn't have
Really shouldn't have
Let it show
Play with me, don't play with me
Don't play
Play with me, don't play with me
Don't play
Don't you wanna play the game
If I were a renegade
And you were the county line
Will I have to cross it now
I got yours and you got mine
But you shouldn't have
No, you shouldn't have
Let it go
Play with me, don't play with me
Don't play
Play with me, don't play with me
Don't play
Don't you wanna play the game
Jealousy is just a game
It ties you up and wraps around your brain
Makes you feel like you might hurt yourself
Makes you feel insane
Play with me, don't play with me
Don't play
Play with me, don't play with me
Don't play
Don't you wanna play the game

Tell me exactly
what am I supposed to do?
Now that I have
allowed you to beat me!
Do you think that
we could play another game?
Maybe I can win this time?
I kind of like
the misery you put me through.
Darling, you can trust me
completely.
If you even try
to look the other way,
I think that I could kill this time.
Rah! Rah! {x2}
It doesn't really seem
I'm getting through to you.
Though I see you weeping so sweetly.
I think that you might
have to take another taste,
a little bit of hell this time.
Rah! Rah!
Lie to me!
Rah! Rah!
Lie to me!
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now run for her life
in the battle that ends this day?
Is she not right?!
Is she insane?!
Will she now run for her life
now that she LIED TO ME!
You always wanted
people to remember you.
You leave your little mark on
society!
Don't you know your wish
is coming true today?
Another victim dies tonight.
Rah! Rah!
Lie to me!
Rah! Rah!
Lie to me!
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now run for her life
in the battle that ends this day?
Is she not right?!
Is she insane?!
Will she now run for her life
now that she LIED TO ME!
Ramidi ma ma ba di ma!
Ramidi ma ma din do!
Ramidi ma ma ba di ma!
Ramidi ma ma ba di mo!
{all x2}
Is she really telling lies again?
Doesn't she realize she's in danger?
Eeeeeeeyow!
Is she not right?
Is she insane?
Will she now run for her life
in the battle that ends this day?
Is she not right?!
Is she insane?!
Will she now run for her life
now that she LIED TO ME!
The little bitch,
she went and she told A LIE!
Now she will never tell another.
A LIE!
The little bitch,
she went and she told A LIE!
NEVER FUCKING LIE TO ME!

The Game

by DoomSword

Time to play the game x3
Its all about the game you fall like the rest, your failure is my success
It's all about control, will you make it? I will deliver the pain you
can take it
I'm in control, I am the pain, after this you won't be the same
This is my time I make the rules you mess with this and you die like a fool.
Chorus
PAIN here comes the pain x4
time to play the game
I am the debt that can't be paid, your going down in flames
This the time I cannot lose Live or die you'll have to choose
It's all about me I am the one, soon you'll see there's nowhere to run
I am the threat that is so real through the blood and the sweat and pain you will feel.
Chorus
nowhere to run nowhere to hide, now it's time to die
I am the pain I am the game you won't forget my name
Time to feel the pain x3
Time to play the game x4
Chorus
