MC LYTE lyrics : "The Rap Game"

Hook:

TRG we making that cream

People get fooled it ain't easy as it seems
You can rock on till the break of dawn
But one by one your $$# is gone


I got trapped in the rap game at sixteen and saw
it's no more than a crap game, know what I mean?

Like when you feel you shake em right
they fake roll snake eyes in this industry that's how quick ^!$$%z die
Through my eyes it's like Russian Roulette

Never do you know when you about to get wet
So you should stay set so you don't fall and go under
Have people saying I wonder what happened

to him or her it's sad when you begin to think
you can't be gone but you can be gone in the blink
of an eye, don't ask why cause you try

Somebody came along that was twice as fly
I remember when I hit the scene it was the second phase
Rope chains two finger rings, those were the days

Latin Quarters my Puma suit was cool
Now let me be caught in that and I'll be damned a fool
Ya gotta change with the times like the weather

An MC's that lasts is an MC's that's clever
You can't move too slow cause when it's to time to go
You see it's to time to go


repeat Hook 2X
(1. But one day brother your $$# is gone)

(2. But one day sister your $$# is gone)

Come back after come back, ^!$$% came back

more wack than the wackest wax on the rack
What's up with that, new jacks are coming through
taking no slack

They hungry and they looking for a spot
to cop a squat, you better watch the clock
It can be awfully embarassing to not know when it's time

to let go of the rhyme, it's about half past the monkey $$#
You should have been gone but you still trying to hang on
What happens when you chilling at the label on the 10th floor

Nobody knows your name anymore, aren't you...ummm?
Wait and let me think, just as quick as you get large
you can quickly shrink

And sink into the crates and collect dust
Don't be mad cause it happens to the best of us


repeat Hook 2X

To and fro they come and go

You better change your flow and then switch up your show
I seen come with the booming $$# hits
Then they gone but then they don't leave with %#@!

You better tell an exec you need to be set
So when it's over you ain't living our your Land Rover
When your rap life dies

And you still alive ^!$$%, you better know how to survive
It ain't easy and it ain't supposed to be
Letting ^!$$%z know what time it is

when it comes to me the L-Y-T-E
Stronger than the ox the octane that
knocks in your brain I sustain

My mission is to maintain sane, know what I mean?
Keep doing my thang, you can't move too slow
Cause when it's your time to go, you gotta go, gotta go.
