Lupe Fiasco - ~*Put you on Game*~

From Lupe Fiasco's Newest album "THE COOL". This song is very deep to me, "listen between the lyrics" (Lupe fans understand) if not....
Born:Given life the moment the snake suckered Adam and Eve


Birthplace:The Garden of Eden


Biography:An immortal, soulless entity, The Game scours city blocks and country landscapes with equal menace. Scheming from morning until night, he changes targets like the wind -- hustlers, politicians, celebrities, and impressionable youth have all succumbed to his charms. His most valued accomplice is his wife, The Streets. Together, this "Bonnie and Clyde" duo have affected the lives of every man, woman, and child. The victim closest to their affections, however, was Michael Young History, a tortured man seeking acceptance through fame and fortune. Of course, nothing from The Game comes without a price.


Cool Points: Quite convincing, his foolproof method of touching minds is through blunt fingertips.
Through his wire-tapped ears, he's able to hear the approaching of any enemy.
When not hovering over common society, he lives behind bars, plotting ways to see his son, Heroine, and secretly conversing with his marital lover, The Streets.
Despite carrying out such heartless actions, The Game does have a blood-pumping system -- an amplified system pumping beats through woofer-like veins.

Lyrics:
[The Game- Laughing, smoking]

Lemme put you on game (gunshot)
Lemme put you on game

Don't you know that I run this place,
And I've begun this race,
Must I rerun this pace?
I'm the reason its become this way
And their love for it is the reason I have become this praised
(lemme put you on game)
They love my darkness,
I make them heartless,
And in return, the have become my martyrs,
I've been in the poem of many a poet,
And I reside in the art of many a artist
(lemme put you on game)
Some of your smartest have tried to artictulate
My whole part in this
But they're fruitless in their harvestin'
The drow grows from my footsteps
I'm the one that they follow,
I am the one that they march with
(lemme put you on game)
Through the back alleys
And the black markets,
The Oval Offices,
Crackhouses and apartments
Through the mazes of the queens,
The pages of the sages
And the Chambers of The Kings
(lemme put you on game)
Through the veins-es of the fiends,
A paper chaser's pager,
Yo, I'm famous on the scene
One of the oldest, most ancient-est of things
Speak every single language on the planet, y'all mean?
(lemme put you on game)
I am the American dream,
The rape of Africa
The undying machine,
The overpriced medicine,
The murderous regime,
[ Put You On Game lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
The tough guy's front
And the one behind the scenes
(lemme put you on game)
I am the blood of this city,
It's gas, water, and electricity,
I'm it's gym, and it's math, and it's history,
The gunshots in the class
And you can't pass if you're missin, G.
I taught them better than that
I taught them aim for the head
And hope they never come back
I'm glad your daddy's gone, baby,
Hope he never comes back,
I hope he's with your mother,
With my hustlers high in my trap
(lemme put you on game)
I hope you die in his trash,
I can't help it all you hear when your crying is laughs
Somebody'll find you tied up in this bag,
Behind the hospital little baby,
Beg to share what addicts had
(lemme put you on game)
Then maybe you can grow up to be a stripper,
A welfare-receiving prostitute
And gold digger,
You can watch on TV,
How they should properly depict you,
The rivers should flow with liqour,
Quench your thirst on my elixers,
(lemme put you on game)
I am the safe haven for the rebel runaway and the resistor
The trusted misleader,
The number one defender,
And from a throne of their bones I rule,
These fools are my fuel
So I make them cool,
(lemme put you on game)
Baptize them in the water out of Scarface pool,
And feed 'em from the table that held Corleone's food,
If you die, tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name,
'Cause I'm the... (gunshot)

@adanl The Game( Satan) realizing Michael’s thirst has decided to take him in as his next meal. He hooks Michael back up with his dream girl, who was The Streets, a down-ass ghetto broad.

he is being satire in some of lyrics

[WutMMOuPlay]

you can tell by the party with the baby. key word is trap

[RFACE1988]

best song of this cd

[ogweazal]

i dont think anyone can say what lupe means except for lupe and it is incredibly arrogant to try just accept that everyone will see something slightly different in each lyric which is possibly what he wants?

[cphi1988]

he is actually just describing michael young, a character he made up in his first album from the song the cool. the man in the grave is michael young and thats who he's describing in this song! look it up on some of his interviews
