Name Of The Game Lyrics

Name Of The Game lyrics

"The name of the game is.."

[Talib Kweli]
Persistance,
dedication
Consistant, motivation, resistance to stagnation
of
information, distribute it free to the entire population
No hesitation,
makin it public
No privitazation from corporations
Today in order to be
sane you gotta go crazy so remain
on top of the game, and master your
universe like you was He-Man
See me and Hi Tek knock you out de
frame
while I'm stimulatin de brain
in de "Train of Thought" that's the
name
of the Reflection Eternal LP man!
Ain't nuttin new except organic
produce that means that's free range
You might see me on MTV, BET, or still
up on the D-train
It's just everybody else be seemin strange in they
approach
I see these guys and read they eyes
Need to disguise and so I
cloak
into a cloud of smoke, I brown a roach
to keep myself from soundin
loc'
Destroy they hopes of hatin
Don't move aboard before they rock the
boat
Yo it's not the dope,
these snakes will come in peace to slit your
throat
Give you compliments, with a promise yet
to get me heated and
provoke me
to be rockin shit, shove apocalypse
down your esophagus so
swallow that
Guess what you could be coppin that
N'kiru Books for fifteen
dollars flat
Cats who spit knowledge on tracks
and get bumped out the back
of Impalas and Cadillacs
All my live Cincinatti Bearcats holla
back
Tomorrow they gonna wanna borrow raps like
"C'mon black, I'll pay
you back"
I ain't no lyrical ATM even though I'm nice and I'm a
mack
Better believe that, leave that crack alone
And you see that there
microphone
ain't no place to work your self-esteem issues
Do that shit
when you alone!
Nigga you is grown, why is you still suckin on that
pacifier
Quickly call that ass a liar, exposin you's my last
desire
Olympic skills so pass the fire
I roll with niggaz that match
attire
Black aware, that's filled with gas
but rollin on, flat ass
tires
Yeahehehe, yo hehehe, yo, yo.. yo yo
Yo I got a special
guest
Lil' Baby Tone Tone, tell 'em what's up
{?? indecipherable ??} Yo,
true
Yo we bout to be, tell 'em peace out Tone
{Peace out} Yeah word word
Baby Tone, what?
{Yeah what?}
