It's All a Game

The game is tough! The stakes are your life... I wanna talk about a concept I've observed G-A-M-E, "game"; that's the word But I ain't talkin' 'bout an enjoyable pastime If caught slippin' or sleepin', somebody will jack mine Goin' on forever on an infinite loop This life is a game, right down to the shit in the news Dependin' on what you spawn, you're a pawn or a don You'll figure it out once the game is on Many get preoccupied with the side quests But I'm a man on a mission; I can't digress Gotta make sure my stomach is full So I ain't got time for none of the bull No point in hatin' the player, or hatin' the game Because no matter what, it remains the same My jimmies are rustled, but I still need to hustle There's no time to pause because the odds are stacked up They try to tell you different, but it's all the same You wanna know what is it? It's all a game They said I can't cash my reality check And I've become cynical survivin' on the minimal This is one game nobody beats! The only reason you haven't been killed yet Is because of what you've learned as a part of your skillset Make no mistake; it's kill or be killed This game is unbeatable for the weak-willed Whether you sink or swim, that's up to you But for me, failure would be somethin' new They say the meek shall inherit the earth But I'm levelin' up for whatever it's worth No doubt, the game of life is a dangerous one But you have to play the game until the game, it is done Is it fun? Well, that depends on who you ask Some are movin' slow, and some are movin' fast Many gettin' done wit' no protection Votes don't even count when they throw the elections It really ain't no shock to me The absence of the so-called "democracy" It's just to project the illusion of freedom 'Cuz the games you don't know you're playin', you don't usually beat 'em You get euthanized when you can't separate truth and lies But what shatters the peace usually matters the least Gotta be tough as cement to make a couple of cents It's gettin' hard to put money on the debit card I'm usin' every single power I hold Because the world I live in is so callous and cold There's no democracy; only bold hypocrisy We all know who hold monopoly This is one game nobody beats! When you try to be a good sport, you only get played This is a lesson I've learned from nearly two decades So I'm on my own like Patti LaBelle Who's friend, who's foe, yo, I can't even tell Beware of the fake friends; we all gotta make ends Groups and factions are useless distractions Other players can make the game much more hazardous But still I rise like Lazarus! If you don't get strong, you won't live long Who holds the power in the coldest hour? Say what you want, but the truth is indelible I'll do whatever it takes to get my belly full Gotta navigate society's mazes And clear my own path with fiery blazes The enemies wanna keep me in the darkness But I'm still levelin' up regardless Problems keep poppin' up like a titty at the Super Bowl They say God never give you more than you could hold Is that true? Well, no one can say for sure But I'm still playin' the game, so I thank the Lord 'Cuz it's gettin' real rough these days And if it's Game Over, there ain't no replays So many of us will die in vain during the game And it's enough to drive insane I ain't the first, and I know I won't be the last Sometimes to get full, you need to fast This is one game nobody beats!
