The Game Is The Game Lyrics by Mayday (UK)

Shilliam Shakespeare

2022

The games the game innit
You either play the game or get played by the game and you wanna do the former not the latter

The Game Is The Game
Simple enough
Play or get played
The Game Is The Game
Simple enough
Play or get played
Seen man get it and lose it before I’ve got mine
Up in smoke gone in the blink of an eye
Seen man get it and lose it before I’ve got mine
Up in smoke gone in the blink of an eye

Filled the quota with quotables
So my place non-negotiable
Time is up and it’s overdue
Game is the game so I played it
Thought it was lame so I saved it
Saw it was same it was basic
So I stepped and in rearranged it
Change up switch up paint with a fresh coat
Can’t abide by the old school dress code
Run and hide from this pen its death note
Duck and dive from the standard tempo
No clones or doubles or iterations of a secondary nature
Hate the game not the player
Came in new
Breath of fresh air
But who knew
What I’d do here
Came in new
Breath of fresh air
But who knew
What I’d do here

The Game Is The Game
Simple enough
Play or get played
The Game Is The Game
Simple enough
Play or get played
Seen man get it and lose it before I’ve got mine
Up in smoke gone in the blink of an eye
Seen man get it and lose it before I’ve got mine
Up in smoke gone in the blink of an eye

I’m not hearing comparisons feeling the narratives don’t really care what the average is if it’s a problem then handle it manage it bad energy just banish it
Ain’t came for clout or packages
Make a mess then pay for the damages
Came too hungry I’m ravishing
Brought the table so grab me a plate
Grab me a tray grab me a drink
Must have been 2000 and way back when the last time I actually cared about what somebody else thinks
Or thought
Can’t do what I’ve done before

Came in new
Breath of fresh air
But who knew
What I’d do here
Came in new
Breath of fresh air
But who knew
What I’d do here

The Game Is The Game
Simple enough
Play or get played
The Game Is The Game
Simple enough
Play or get played
Seen man get it and lose it before I’ve got mine
Up in smoke gone in the blink of an eye
Seen man get it and lose it before I’ve got mine
Up in smoke gone in the blink of an eye

The games the game innit
You either play the game or get played by the game and you wanna do the former not the latter
