\nThe game is a game, please don't be offended
\nI don't know you, you don't know me
\nThat's how we'll start and end it
\nOh my God, look what the streets done, done to me
\nYou think you seen some new shit, but it's a re-run to me
\nThe game is a game, please don't be offended

\n[Verse 1]
\nIn the back of my head, it's like I got eyes
\nI realize, real lies
\nWith my real eyes
\nWhen I close my eyes
\nI see pies
\nBefriend me? But we enemies
\nI don't fuck wit' you guys
\nYeah, he played it smart, but they was sabotagin' him
\nThe state of Michigan, versus Michael Washington
\nThe game is the game.. and I know since I
\nCame in this world by myself, that's how I'm gon’ die
\nI listen before I talk
\nObserve before I stalk
\nIf they enemies of mine, they outlined in chalk
\nI don't like nobody, and nobody likes me
\nThat’s ‘dope boy’ mentality, westside of the ‘D’
\nStay on my P's and Q's while I stack these G's
\nPlenty of hard, twenty-eight G's, muthafucka, that's me
\nDetroit tycoon, the city's in the palm of my hand
\nSince I was twelve, I had plans
\nTo take over and be the man
\n

\n[Verse 2]
\nLord, give me this day, my daily bread
\nThree can keep a secret, if two are dead
\nNiggas in the dope game are so damn fake
\nThey get nicer and nicer the more money you make
\nBut friendly smiles, can't hide the coldness in their eyes
\nI'll never let you in my kitchen, so you can't rob me for my pies?
\nNo matter if you the plug or if you're small time
\nNiggas in Detroit will test you at all times
\nIf they enemies are mines
\nThen it's a matter of time
\nDon't be scared, be prepared when I squeeze that nine
\nYeah, I've sold hard drugs, accepted money from a whore
\nIsn't it obvious? I got the hunger for more
\nIn this business, the customer ain't always right
\nYou better watch your ass if you sell hard white
\nSeven Mile and Bentler, I did the impossible for the ungrateful
\nDope fiends is treacherous, deceitful, and so hateful
\n

\n[Verse 3]
\nI went from nothing to lots
\nTen carets to rocks
\nWent from a nobody nigga, to the ‘big man’ on the block
\nSeven mile is on lock
\nPlenty shooters with Glocks
\nSplurgin’ at Fairlane, wit’ ten bands in my socks
\nTaking over neighborhoods, the westside king of crack
\nI ain't even trying to hear it, I’ont cut niggas no slack
\nI'm not aggressive at all, but my shooters don't give a fuck
\nThey do whatever I say, I got plenty bucks
\nI don’t rob drug dealers, I take over their spots
\nFirst nigga complain, first nigga get shot
\nThis ain't a democracy, it's a dictatorship
\nEither you pay the street tax or we take yo shit
\nOn the real, I hope you have Blue Cross/Blue Shield
\nCause my shooters trigger happy and they love to kill
\nFuck the judicial system, on the streets I hold court
\nThe 2012, Larry Hoover, Jeff Fort
