Game's Pain Songtext
von The Game

Aye, yeah
Yeah
Hey, yeah

See, ever since the day I got the chance to make a change
I′ve been in this game, it's a new day
And I′m making it known 'cause I just want the world to know
I'm paying my dues, and I got the utmost, I just wanna let you know
I′m paying homage ′cause you've paved the way for me, yeah


I swear to god, it feel like every day is my birthday
Let the top down, California′s my birthplace
So I'm a take you there like big took niggaz to New York
"Juicy" had us feeling like we was from New York
And that′s real shit blazed the Philly
It's summertime shout out to will smith
′Cause who didn't wanna be the fresh prince
Flat top, gold chain and some fresh kicks?
My nigga nas told me money make the world go round
And Uncle Luke showed me how to make my girl go down
I've been around hip hop since ′85
She had her ups and downs but she stayed alive
I used to think ll stood for love la
He from queens, how the fuck he put that with cool j?
Red kangol hat, red sweat suit to match
Red adidas, nigga, game is back

And ever since the day i got the chance to make a change
I′ve been in this game, it's a new day
And I′m making it known 'cause i just want the world to know
I′m paying my dues, and i got the utmost, I just wanna let you know
I'm paying homage ′cause you've paved the way for me, yeah


Public enemy and N.W.A is on my boom box, had to say
Today was a good day, had the hood buzzing
Ice cube my favorite rapper, y'all nigga can′t tell me nothing
Everybody′s first bootleg was boys and the hood
Whoever thought gang star rap would make noise in the hood
When the cars ride by with the booming system
Two door mustang and the roof was missing
Every girl at yea school had the new extensions
Even gangsters was dancing like new edition
'Cause the house parties stayed rocking all night
Niggas came through and shot it up but it was alright
′Cause after the cops left, it was a party then
You down with OPP, then bring naughty in
They say it never rain in southern California, tony Toni lied
Sit back, watch game throw his money in the sky

And ever since the day i got the chance to make a change
I've been in this game, it′s a new day
And I'm making it known ′cause i just want the world to know
I'm paying my dues, and i got the utmost, I just wanna let you know
I'm paying homage ′cause you′ve paved the way for me, yeah

Cash rules everything around me, cream get the money
In the back, I relax with all the hunnies
Dj bring it back, let it go
Mix it in with black rob, make them say whoa!
Everything full circle, game living major
Girls on my hip like a skytel pager
Now I'm on the top, let the champagne pop
Throw ya hands in the sky ′cause the game don't stop
Just a little more change, gotta benz and the range
Every rap metaphor always ends in my name
The kool hercs, dj red alerts
Before i was born they was talking about the game
Ask a jay-z fan about big daddy kane
Don′t know him, game gonna show them
Just like they showed me, my lyrics is og
When it's all said and done, you niggas gone quote me

And ever since the day I got the chance to make a change
I′ve been in this game, it's a new day
And I'm making it known ′cause I just want the world to know
I′m paying my dues, and i got the utmost, I just wanna let you know
I'm paying homage ′cause you've paved the way for me, yeah

See, Mary J. I want you to understand you paved the way (for me)
I′m giving homage (to you)
