Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Know your chances is thin
These cats lost before they even begin
Take the L then wanna run it back again
But why play a game that you not gonna win?
I only play the games that I win at
I only play the games that I win
I only play the games that I win at
I only play the games that I win
[Verse 2]
Like I'm burning a disc, it's a dub for you
Son, I ain't gon' play the game 'less I get the W
Them hoes geeks off the rap Allah
They been coming to me for a genius bar before the Apple store
Bonkers, then my favorite rappers was them guys from Yonkers
Knew that the time would come when I'ma conquer
When Your Droog was headed to the Bronx with a honey dutch and a dama blanca
[Verse 3]
Selling nickels and some pennies
Remember when we used to rhyme and didn't get a penny?
Now we monetize
Take a quarter out, drop it in the meter, mama
Try me on for size, it's quite racy
At the moment, whites don't claim me
But I'ma fucking go platinum when they embrace me
The last star, fast car like Tracy
Who saw exactly what they doing wrong, well, basically
[Verse 4]
Know your chances is thin
These cats lost before they even begin
Take the L then wanna run it back again
But why play a game that you not gonna win?
I only play the games that I win at
I only play the games that I win
I only play the games that I win at
I only play the games that I win
[Verse 5]
Here to stay, this ain't your fly by night
Study all day, lay something fly by night
Spent years working, outta mind, outta sight
Only poke my noggin out when I got it right
Got too nice, punchlines was all looney
But it was nothing new to those who already knew me
The tall goonie
Y'all don't even know the names I was running with prior like Paul Mooney
[Verse 6]
Caught G.O.D., what about?
Wasn't right that first time, so I came again
Switch the name again
Before I finally resign myself to the fact that's not my game to win
And the realization was golden
Came back as your old Droog
That's your old friend
Even Kenny Rogers tried to told them
Gotta know when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em
Especially when you, what
[Verse 7]
Know your chances is thin
These cats lost before they even begin
Take the L then wanna run it back again
But why play a game that you not gonna win?
I only play the games that I win at
I only play the games that I win
I only play the games that I win at
I only play the games that I win
[Verse 8]
Before I ever had a FIFA, 2K to play live
It was maddening, had to survive
Learn when you gotta pump fake or straight juke 'em
When the ball first and the ball back like Duke Nukem
Had rockets and guns like DOOM '95
Plotting like Doom in '95
I listened to jazz, read the 7 pillars of zen
Learned that ego and pride are the biggest killers of men
They still marvel at the verses when I rap, mom
But it's straight Marvel vs. Capcom
[Verse 9]
Every time we try to play the game, they playing games
Fools is lucky, I ain't saying names, bunch of lames
Still running with that payola scam
Need more than a couple of quarters to play Jam
Only get play if you got dough
These dudes like USPA, they not low
You know my motto
[Verse 10]
Know your chances is thin
These cats lost before they even begin
Take the L then wanna run it back again
But why play a game that you not gonna win?
I only play the games that I win at
I only play the games that I win
I only play the games that I win at
I only play the games that I win
