This is dope boy music, American Dream
We let them choppers sing like that little n***a Dream
No Auto-tune unless I'm tunning out the burrough
Flying through ya borough, (Red) Camaro
I had 'em shook like coach on Reggie Bush
With that 4-5 coat hanger, bang em and let me push
I used to get my a** wooped for listenin to spice 1
On the court, game point, fade away, nice one
Same court where the fiends get they white from
Hustle till the night come
Crouch down low, with a pocket full of money
Shooting dice in my white 1's
Roll another seven of the night on my white 1's
I had a jumper, plus I was pumpin
Moms and pops was both gangsters any drama I will slump 'em
How the f** you think I got the name Game
Same way them Lakers got all of them f**ing rings
Hustlin
Bridge:
Hustling Championship ring
Hustling Metaphor street king

She was bustin it while I at home straight Hustlin

It was a cold Day in 1996
Fav bar Reasonable Doubt Over
Before that day, we ain't know sh** about hova

But all we knew were 5.0's and Toyota's
So, We took Y'alls swag y'all took our rags
The way I see it, it's a fair exchange why you Mad
Son, Yeah Jay was one of my teachers
Bumpin Roc-A-Fella but, couldn't get a feature
Was like, Being underage and couldn't get a beeper
Missing sales cuz the onions still stuck in my sneaker
Talkin to Streetsweeper
Dodgin the Grim Reaper
Hit My block after 8 o'clock I'll make you a believer
We was movin white kid, the Justin Beiber
Us and homeless shelters no different we both feed 'em
Playing John Madden smoking all my n***a weed up
Relaxin with my feet up, Waiting for the Re-Up

Verse 4
How I sell 10 million and stay hood, somebody holla at me
If I go to jail you n***a ain't gone throw a dolla at me
Like my n***a frog, threw his impala at me
Like when I was in the bay and 40 popped his colla at me
That's why when I come through, She look like Halle Berry
I'm in this Game by myself, Solitaire
Every now and then, you my see me with a couple friends
Same ones that was right there, When I had a couple ends
No f**in Benz

Before I zip it up, Say f** Rap
