Valuable Game

[intro: ice-t]
This song is dedicated to my man tupac shakur, rest in peace!!
Notorious b.i.g., rest in peace!!
And all my other homies that have died
In the madness called street life
Rest in peace!!
[chorus]
Ima straight up g, lets not pretend
Dedicated to, all of my friends
On the east and the west coast
Gotta let this drama go
[ice-t]
Nineteen eighty six, deep in the mix
Me and my team out for cream and jewel-liks
The faster, the better, blood, leather, the baby sledge
Case hitters - me, Im the point man
Give less than a damn about anything, just let my hammer swing
Come up, give me my cut - what?
Girls dont mean nothin to me, dont push the button on me
Out for the twist, ya nastically nasty g
Basically makin me anti-social individual, too hype
Recognize the type?
Then a music called hip-hop came along and saved my life
I had a story to tell about my knowledge of hell
$2.50 for a book, listen and look, now lets do some math
A gun and a hand, plus an angry man, minus love
Equals and me, the skys blue and they rags
Toe-tags and body bags - yall feel me?
Is it too real g? brothers say drop some heat t
Absoultely, everythings goochie since we realized
This games the only one we got left
Hip-hops become the game of death
Some of yall busters out there tryin to waste up
It wouldve took some of us hustlers all this time to lace up
[chorus]
Ima straight up g, lets not pretend
Dedicated to, all of my friends
On the east and the west coast
Gotta let this drama go
[ice-t]
Ok, let me break it down, they got the one strike law
You go in, you reach the other two before you know
What happen to you - games over dude
On the next page, they got power in effect
While you two rednecks waitin to see which one of us
Kills the next brother next
Think about it too longll make you sick
Believe me the last thing they wanna see is us risin
Economically, astronomically it could happen homie - follow me
Hip-hops the black goal - mind and soul
Refined as we roll, another ghetto story is told
I stopped flippin kis in eighty three
They need a time machine to carcerate me
Im square as a pool table, twice as green, know what I mean?
Flippin from heat, the legal green, the hip-hop scene
Beef, the only beef I got is the steak
Im tryin to eat from the players elite
East, west, north, south, moon, star
Im gonna ball wherever the chips are
I hope yall players listen, aint out there hatin and dissin
Yall know the game is to be sold and not told
I should be takin a collection, this time Ill make an exception
Ive just been here for the start of this
I gotta come from the heart for this
[chorus]
Ima straight up g, lets not pretend
Dedicated to, all of my friends
On the east and the west coast
Gotta let this drama go
[ice-t]
Some nights I lay awake tryin to analyse
And anticipate the moves of the fakes
Wonder if the cancers in too deep - cant sleep
Tryin to diagnose the poison thats increased
Injected into a pure hustle born on city streak
Migranes fill my brain as I reach toward the realm of the insane
Wishin and prayin that another brother gets
To live the life that I got to play in
Tryin to represent to the fullest
I gotta come hard yall, no time to pull it
Yall fools think illin and tearin up
Hip-hop is the thing to do g?
Im paid I dont need rap no more fool I make a movie
Yall tryin to lose me
And to yall suckers with your afrobatic, player hatin tatics
Tryin to jump over the bree and plannin and hustlin
Ive been corporatin to this music over these years
Yall will fall victim to your own lies and the p.i.
Will continue to rise, over your eyes kid
This games immaculate, dramas irrelevant - stay sucker reppellin
Invent, incoporate, parlay, play
And I got no reason to lie to you
[chorus]
Ima straight up g, lets not pretend
Dedicated to, all of my friends
On the east and the west coast
Gotta let this drama go
Ima straight up g, lets not pretend
Dedicated to, all of my friends
On the east and the west coast
Gotta let this drama go
