It's a blame game It's a blame game And it's a shame, mayne That everybody playing Blame Game We livin' in America with endless possibilities But how come ain't nobody wanna take responsibility? So I'ma get up on this track with the illest beat And let me spit this message even if you cats ain't feelin' me I see kids playing sports, specifically on the courts They show up to the tryouts and they talented of course They breakin' all the ankles and they shootin' out the lights They thinkin' they some ballers and they game is pretty nice So they get up on the team and they feel a lil' entitled 'Cause they think it's 'cause of them that their team will win the title They show up to practice whenever they want and clownin' in the weight room Then they think that they should play in the game that they were late to But when they sittin' on the bench and they don't even play a minute They say "Coach just doesn't like me, that must be why I ain't in it" They blamin' everybody for why they don't get to play Except themselves, 'cause they be the ones that was messing around every day It's a blame game It's a blame game And it's a shame, mayne That everybody playing Blame Game It's a blame game (it's a game and a lot are tryna play it) It's a blame game (not Jamie Foxx, but you know you gotta Blame It It's a blame game (if you doin' it no matter what it's takin') It's a blame game (take your mindset, go'n ahead and change it) Everything is manufactured, make excuses for our actions The whole thing is jacked up, I ain't talkin' bout no fractions I even get to laughin' at these things that start to happen Esepecially lawsuits, can I get someone to smack 'em? Like "there must be someone else to blame, 'cause surely I'm not" Like the chick who sued McDonald's 'cause her coffee was too hot Really? 'Cause I ain't heard of hot coffee that's cold "But it can't be my fault!" Does this ever get old? People love to shift the blame, make it a capital B But the fact that it belongs to them, they can't even see Like the pregnant chick who blame the guy 'cause "he seduced me" But you were blinded by your lust, no wonder you still can't see So if you're fooling around and having s** with a date Don't go hunting for some money tryna claim that it's rape If that's the case you wouldn't brag about it on the next day We got a word for that around here, and it's called FAKE It's a blame game It's a blame game And it's a shame, mayne That everybody playing Blame Game It's a blame game (it's a game and a lot are tryna play it) It's a blame game (not Jamie Foxx, but you know you gotta Blame It It's a blame game (if you doin' it no matter what it's takin') It's a blame game (take your mindset, go'n ahead and change it) Look, take advantage of your situation Stay in school, use your brain, get some education And if you droppin' out of high school that's a lack of dedication I honestly can't find a better explanation It's already clear, ain't no need for illustration And if you fail it's probably 'cause you doin' too much blamin' And it's sad, got me using all these exclamations 'Cause most of all you blamers living in the greatest nation In America ain't no reason why you can't succeed Cut excuses out your life, it's what you do not need Point the finger at yourself first, then you can proceed Instead of bogus tails that even you can't believe Don't get it twisted: I'm empathetic and I can be sympathetic But excuses that are pathetic turn my thoughts to apathetic Don't be counting on a rescue, you not prophetic Try playing the game of LIFE, ain't no paramedics It's a blame game It's a blame game And it's a shame, mayne That everybody playing Blame Game It's a blame game (it's a game and a lot are tryna play it) It's a blame game (not Jamie Foxx, but you know you gotta Blame It It's a blame game (if you doin' it no matter what it's takin') It's a blame game (take your mindset, go'n ahead and change it)
