Love of the Game

[Hook]
You can see the pain in my eyes
I'll forever have the game in my life
I gotta do it til the day that I die
So when it's over I can say that I tried, I tried
For the love of the game, love of the game
Not for the money or fame, money or fame
But for the love of the game, love of the game

[Verse 1: Azad Right]
Yo my friends all need help
Don't know what to do with themselves
Out of school, out of jobs
Can't do shit about they lives
Get off that plane, change your flight
It ain't too late to change your life
You still got time to change your grind
You don't know what can make you shine
Until you try
The lack of passion makes a man feel worthless
So I'm forever grateful that I know my purpose
I once thought my talent was enough to fuck the rules
Til' I found out that putting in work has no substitute
I can't wait for the day that I get paid for what I love to do
I just need to feed my team we never live comfortable
Into the new school of rappers that offer unity
But don't you cross that line or I'm writing an awkward eulogy
Producers trying to box me in stop recruiting me
I'm not compromising shit but thanks for the opportunity
Running from the norm like a cheetah with persistence
You're speaking to the leader of resistance

[Hook]
You can see the pain in my eyes
I'll forever have the game in my life
I gotta do it til the day that I die
So when it's over I can say that I tried, I tried
For the love of the game, love of the game
Not for the money or fame, money or fame
But for the love of the game, love of the game

[Verse 2: Azad Right]
If I believe I achieve it
If you isn't on my team
I'll be treating what you speaking like amnesia
I don't need it
My idols are The Beatles
And my rivals I will eat them
It's vital I'm a leader for my tribe all like Aaliyah
I'm not scared to fall
I don't got a fear of heights
I look in the mirror like damn
I'm proud of who I am
I never sold out when it comes to the money
Hot tracks like futon I fold out
Middle finger to the labels I hold out
Til' I get a good deal like a coupon, move on
You know I rap for the love of it why you testing me?
But that don't mean I'm not trying to do it successfully
I swear I satisfy you all at the same time
Stand by I change lives when the game's tied
Forget the money, I envy inspiration
So those of you who have it should embrace it
Without it we are naked it's so hard to stay creative
With all of these limitations, I'll never be complacent

[Hook]
You can see the pain in my eyes
I'll forever have the game in my life
I gotta do it til the day that I die
So when it's over I can say that I tried, I tried
For the love of the game, love of the game
Not for the money or fame, money or fame
But for the love of the game, love of the game

[Verse 3: Azad Right]
Independent or a label doesn't matter I'm the next to hit
Watch me make it either way I'm ambidextrous
I'm not spiritual, my pain ain't physical
Why these mother fucking pain killers working miracles
They say weed gon' calm me down
How come sometimes I can't breathe
I see things I shouldn't see
These are feelings I don't need
My own manager don't know how to handle me
I guess you can't force no one to treat you like they family
Our friendships based on money naturally that's damaging
To make it in this industry you sacrifice your sanity
No lie I was in my demise til I got a call that put tears in my eyes
Moms told me she saw me dyin, in her vision she was crying
I joined her, I couldn't fathom leaving without trying
And that's the reason why I'm making my Piece of Mine
Fuck the bliss and the charts
You give me your ear, I will give you my heart

[Hook]
You can see the pain in my eyes
I'll forever have the game in my life
I gotta do it til the day that I die
So when it's over I can say that I tried, I tried
For the love of the game, love of the game
Not for the money or fame, money or fame
But for the love of the game, love of the game
