About The Game

"The Game" is a song by The Next Star contestant Alyssa Reid from her 2011 album The Game. It is the title track of the album and the album's second single, as well as Alyssa's second most famous single, beat out by her previous single "Alone Again", officially released May 31, 2011. It was preceded by the album's lead single, "Alone Again", featuring P. Reign, which heavily sampled the 1987 Heart song "Alone", except included new verses and rap. "The Game" samples parts of the new verses of "Alone Again". A radio edit was made of the song, which replaced the parts sampled from "Alone Again" and replaced them with new, original material. A remix was made of the song, featuring JDiggz, and in the parts where Reid is singing her verses, the radio edit of the song is sampled. The song is known by fans as "wanted to be in the movie for the best-selling book The Hunger Games". In 2012 a new single version was made for the UK market and features rap vocals from Snoop Dogg. more »

Everywhere I go
When everyone who knows me
Knows that I would stand alone
It's all part of the game
The game, the game, the game

When you said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you
Now you're sitting in your house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know

Had to fake it till I made it
And you try to break it
Now you try to take it back
But you know that
I've been doing my thing
I've been running my game
And you know I won't look back

Everywhere I go
When everyone who knows me
Knows that I would stand alone
It's all part of the game
The game, the game, the game

I'm standing on my toes
To the sky I go
And you know you're the one to think
It's all part of the game
The game, the game, the game
We all play it the same

As you looked, you saw me walking out
You tried to knock me down
I would go on without you
Now you're sitting in the mess you made
Now you're feeling my pain
And I'm hoping that you know that

I'm stronger cause you made me
You will never faze me
You can never take me down
'Cause you know that
I've been doing my thing
I've been running my game
And you know I won't look back
You know that

Everywhere I go
When everyone who knows me
Knows that I would stand alone
It's all part of the game
The game, the game, the game

I'm standing on my toes
To the sky I go
And you know you're the one to think
It's all part of the game
The game, the game, the game
We all play it the same

Everywhere I go
When everyone who knows me
Knows that I would stand alone
It's all part of the game
The game, the game, the game

I'm standing on my toes
To the sky I go
And you know you're the one to think
It's all part of the game
The game, the game, the game
We all play it the same
