"
Don't you know that I run this place
And I've begun this race
Must I rerun this pace?
I'm the reason it's become this way
And their love for it is the reason I have become this praised
They, love my darkness
I've made them heartless
And in return, they have become my martyrs
I've been in the poem of many a poet and I reside in the art of many a artist
Some of your smartest have tried to articulate my whole part in this
But they're fruitless in their harvest
The dro grows from my footsteps
I'm the one that they follow
I am the one that they march with
Through the back alleys and the black markets
The oval offices, the crack houses and apartments
Through the mazes of the queens
The pages of the sages and the chambers of the kings
Through the veinses of the fiends
A paper chase pager, Yo I'm famous on the scene
One of the oldest most ancientest things
Speak every single language on the planet nyah' mean
I am the American dream, the rape of Africa, the undying machine
The overpriced medicine, the murderous regime
The tough guy's front and the one behind the scenes
I am the blood of this city; its gas, water and electricity
I'm its gym and its math and its history
The gunshots in the class
And you can't pass if you missing 'G'
I taught them better than that
I taught them aim for the head and hope they never come back
I'm glad ya daddy's gone baby, hope he never comes back
I hope he's with your mother with my hustlas, high in my trap
I hope you die in this trash; I can't help it
All I hear when you crying is laughs
I'm sure somebody find you tied in this bag
Behind the hospital, little baby crack addicts had
Then maybe you can grow up and be a stripper
A welfare receiving, prostituting gold digger
You can watch on TV how they should properly depict ya
The river shall flow with liquors, quench your thirst on my elixirs
I am the safe haven for the rebel run away, 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
Baptize 'em in the water out of Scarface pool
And feed em from the table that held the Corleone's food
If you die tell em that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become mouths that say my name
Cause I'm the
"

Its really hard to listen to Lupe, and then go listen to other artists. Everything everyone else says seems irrelevant compared to what Lupe has to say.

3 ppl.The Game,The Streets,Michael Young History aka The Cool. Michael grew up fatherless.was seduced by The Streets,who promised him fame.The Streets is married to The Game, an entity of evil and devilish qualities.with fame,michael got cocky and thought he could hold his own against the very people who made him "cool"thus his demise. in this song, The Game is reminding michael who he is, his power, and what happens to those who disobey him. "hope ur bullet holes become mouths to say my name.."

@youaintwrongthere Bullets sound the same in every single "language"

[KiLLER83652]

@youaintwrongthere game is money

[youaintwrongthere]

@KiLLER83652 I think by every single language he means more than money. I think he's saying that the game causes havoc everywhere In the world.. And always has(most ancientest of things)

[JusticeVonBrandt]

@ThePirrg listen to the album and do some reasearch before opening ur mouth dickhead

[ThePirrg]

@freshprince58 That is the most idiotic thing ive ever read.. Were you being serious when you wrote that?

People are over analyzing with trying to identify with what he is rapping about. Let me simplify it for you. He is talking about everything and anything that is a detriment to progress, whether it be oppressive free markets, power hungry kings, and life-ruining drugs; he is talking about evil and its ability to hinder the good in people, but simultaneously becoming an engine to conquest.

@2003061993 finally another person who likes masta ace

[2003061993]

@IWhoCreate Immortal Technique, Slug, Lowkey, Beast1333, Black Thought, Masta Ace, Del The Funkee Homosapien and many more have enough to say. Nevertheless is Lupe one of the best rappers of the last years.

[Emman92]

This has to be my Favorite Lupe song... Bring back this Lupe, the metaphor, the sarcasm... its magical.
