Somebody said somebody wouldn't last too long, somebody's still going strong. Somebody said somebody was all a front, somebody's still talking junk. Think of what you say, think of what you do, think of what you try to put us through. We're just singing our song. When you put us down, it ain't gonna get you nowhere. We're positive and no matter what you think we really care. Oh, ee, oh, oh, oh, games, games, games, games, games. Somebody said somebody worked too hard, somebody gotta charm some hearts. Somebody said everybody's gonna wait and see, what's gonna be is gonna be. Think of ..... Games, oh, ee, oh, oh, oh, games, games, games, games, games. (RAP:) Yeah, people keep on fronting on the Beantown posse, but it's time to step up to the stand, 'cause we ain't going out like that. Back, huh, stronger than ever, did you think we'd sever? Never, we're too clever to be taken down clown by your ignorant state of mind, I ain't blind but every time I look I find you dissin' a mission that strictly be righteous, we gotta fight this so now I think I might just take a stand, man, like never before, and I'm sure that we'll endure so now it's time to even the score I hear you knocking me but you ain't shocking me 'cause jealousy is telling me that you're just jocking me so keep on talking skee, with pride I'm walking see, because on anybody's block is where I'm gonna be rockin' gee. Don't play those games, oh, ee, oh, oh, oh, stop playing those games. (repeat ad lib & fade)
