Do You Know Songtext
von 20‐2‐Life

Down South know ′bout the game
Niggas on the West Coast, they know 'bout the game
You know what I′m sayin'?
The East Coast know 'bout the game
Uh, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi

Do you know about the game like I know about the game?
Nigga, make your money from the start
But if you don′t know about the game, stay up out the game
′Cause the game contain soldiers with hearts
I say do you know about the game like I know about the game?
Nigga, make your money from the start
But if you don't know about the game, stay up out the game
′Cause the game contain soldiers with hearts

The chinos and negros on every block
With the cash for the stash 'cause the game been locked
High as fuck, flippin′ chips, penitentiary chances
Rule number one, stay right up while you advance
To enhance, you gots to learn the weight on the scale
Triple beam, crystal yellow if you makin' your mail


V12 if you handle business from state to state
Thirty-six to fifty-eight if you ain′t cookin' 'em straight
Keep your faith, ′cause beef with clientele with fiends
Make sure your pyrex is clean and keep your face off the scene
It′s a team of soldiers that's ready to die
Never confessin′ 'cause they know that true birds don′t fly
Now do you know about this game like I know about this game?
It's all about makin′ big change

And if you don't know about the game, stay up out the game
'Cause the game can bring shame and big pain

Do you know about the game like I know about the game?
Nigga, make your money from the start
But if you don′t know about the game, stay up out the game
′Cause the game contain soldiers with hearts
I say do you know about the game like I know about the game?
Nigga, make your money from the start
But if you don't know about the game, stay up out the game
′Cause the game contain soldiers with hearts

I'm hearin′ this and that
These niggas rap about they got the game down pat
But then they sign fifteen percent, fuck that


Fact is, take more than that to survive
I'm givin′ heart and soul just tryna stay alive
Payin' my dues through the good and the bad
Nothin' in life seems to be ironclad
Said you can′t compare business with the game
You think about it, man, this shit′s all the same
It's all the same, a million dollar team

Searchin′ for a dream, unseen
But we blowin' up the coast
HP and lean every time we toast
BET, Rap Pages, of course The Source
Billboard top a hundred, thankin′ God for the choice
Told you I was payin' dues, makin′ the whole world smile
Money stacks by a pile, pullin' it down South style

Do you know about the game like I know about the game?
Nigga, make your money from the start
But if you don't know about the game, stay up out the game
′Cause the game contain soldiers with hearts
I say do you know about the game like I know about the game?
Nigga, make your money from the start
But if you don′t know about the game, stay up out the game
'Cause the game contain soldiers with hearts

What′s happenin', baby?
Shit, huh, what′s up, man?
You cappin'? What?
Huh, it ain′t like that, huh?

Say boo, I see you through my thousand dollar frames
Conversation got you smilin', all up in your game
Shame, do money make your world go 'round?
Just because you lick your lips, don′t mean that you down
With my team, do the candy and the bank make you cream?
Wanna be part of my world, that′s a dream

Might not seem, but I'm all about my game
You ain′t makin' money, then it ain′t no thang
Ain't hard to explain, just what a woman like
Used to be straight, now these hoes turnin′ dykes
Despite what you think, game is all I got
Impressin' these hoes, gettin' more niggas shot
Recognize the plot, nigga, it′s all in your face
It′s money over bitches when you on a paper chase
Every place I go, every face be the same
Shit'll never change ′til these niggas learn the game

Do you know about the game like I know about the game?
Nigga, make your money from the start
But if you don't know about the game, stay up out the game
′Cause the game contain soldiers with hearts
I say do you know about the game like I know about the game?
Nigga, make your money from the start

But if you don't know about the game, stay up out the game
′Cause the game contain soldiers with hearts

I say do you know about the game like I know about the game?
Nigga, make your money from the start
But if you don't know about the game, stay up out the game
'Cause the game contain soldiers with hearts

I say do you know about the game like I know about the game?
Nigga, make your money from the start
But if you don′t know about the game, stay up out the game
′Cause the game contain soldiers with hearts

I say do you know about the game like I know about the game?
Nigga, make your money from the start
But if you don't know about the game, stay up out the game
′Cause the game contain soldiers with hearts

I say do you know about the game like I know about the game?
Nigga, make your money from the start
But if you don't know about the game, stay up out the game
′Cause the game contain soldiers with hearts

Do you know about the game like I know about the game?

Do you know about the game like I know about the game, baby?
Let's ride
From the 9-8 to infinity, baby
2-0-2 To the L-I-F-E, motherfucker
And I know this, I′ve been there, I've done that
You know what I'm sayin′?

Man, fuck this, man

We all bumpin′ so motherfuckin' much, man
H-Town for life
Nah mean? Southside
Can you feel it?
Southside
Y′all motherfuckers seein' it, I see y′all
What's up, baby? What′s up, boy?

I see you over there
They don't know about the game, baby
Know what I'm talkin′ ′bout, like we know about the game
It's about makin′ your money

If it ain't makin′ money, man, it ain't makin′ beef
That's what's real
