“The Game” is a hard-hitting, boom bap-influenced cut by Denzel Curry, which sees the Floridian artist rapping thoughtfully about his personal view on the most controversial misconceptions young people have on fame, life in the streets and the rap game, all of which being topics he previously addres...
[Verse 1]
Before you judge, do your research, nigga, we hurt
Before I even think about us, I think of me first
The street had only brought me ether and random outburst
I told the hood that I'ma come back, just get me out first
And niggas quick to call me sellout when I'm on the outskirts
Want to know how I got there? I put in hard work
I know you wanna get this money, you gotta be smart first
Pay attention, write this shit down, and repeat my verse
I don't fuck with people that ain't on the same time
Too lazy to wanna make dimes, then wanna takе mine
When it comes to fucking with dimеs, you need to peep signs
Pussy over money online, then, nigga, you blind
Find yourself paying for shit because she too fine
If you wasn't making a cent, you getting denied
If you see she independent and have a good vibe
That's the one you better stick with and keep on your side
[Chorus]
The game, the game, the game, the game
The game, the game, the game, the game
These niggas out here screamin' that they gang, gang, gang
Be the same niggas fuckin' up the game, game, game
The game, the game, the game, the game
The game, the game, the game, the game
These niggas out here screamin' that they gang, gang, gang
Be the same niggas fuckin' up the game, game, game
[Verse 2]
Seen a lot of brothers fucked up, seen some friends die
'Cause you walked away from a fight don't mean that you pie
I don't got a problem with all these other new guys
Even find myself bumping 'bout just a few guys
Doing all this industry shit, I start to realize
We lookin' up to junkies and shit, then mimic they lives
Niggas go and get some new tats, wear the same chains
Gucci, Prada, Fendi, you all wear the same thing
Niggas fucking on the same bitch that you call main
Now I gotta roast you slow, mane, like it was lo mein
If you said I came for your head, I guess I'm Rogaine
All of y'all like layover flights, y'all niggas too plain
You don't need to brag or dress up when all your shit flame
Sabotaging other black men, bruh, all that shit lame
I got love for Megan, but also got love for Noname
And I won't stop speaking to y'all until I change
[Chorus]
The game, the game, the game, the game
The game, the game, the game, the game
These niggas out here screamin' that they gang, gang, gang
Be the same niggas fuckin' up the game, game, game
The game, the game, the game, the game
The game, the game, the game, the game
These niggas out here screamin' that they gang, gang, gang
Be the same niggas fuckin' up the game, game, game
[Outro]
