What I tell ya?

Cats never understand the game

Drop top down hun, sun in the grill

Try to escape, book a flight, run in the grill

Got in the game cause point blank I wanted a bill

Like Aaliyah, guess you could say I'm one in a mil'

Congrats cause A+ status, never be the baddest

But get this, ain't nothing wrong with trying to be the richest

And with this I maintain, ten albums

From now I still rock the same name

With different frames, probably Cartiers

I see you riding with them cars that probably hardly there

Fronting in life but yo nobody cares

You do your thing, I do mine

Cause see I'm just trying to rhyme 'til you hate it

Now the plaques need to plate it

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game, uh

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game, word up

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game, uh

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game, c'mon

A lot of cats got a hard time accepting change

It's like getting shot, still trying to step the same

You want to blow even though you don't respect the game

But when you get stripped, the only thing that's left is your name

I seen 'em come and go, cop hot Ranges and flooded Rolls

Platinum plaques, accomplishing goals, and closing shows

But when the lights go out you ain't far behind

The bank say the cars mine and you need the bottom line

At first, you was the man now the cats who outta line

Now you fresh outta rhymes and you fresh outta shine

And you steady trying to put your life in reverse

After breaking 25 snatch your purse, understand the game

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game, c'mon

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game, word up

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game, uh

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game, c'mon

I'm a player and a coach, maybe not the ref

Everything A spit be hot to death

You need to fix your face tough guy, what are you mad?

Cause all of a sudden somebody must've colored your bag

You need to start relaxing and stop acting

Cause when the scenes get real you see how I feel

It ain't no game, shells hit your frame and it burn

Now you going six feet deep, surrounded by lawns

Stiff like a statue, your friends are throwing roses at you

You praying that God catch you and your foes are laughing at you

But it's too late, the only thing you got was a name

Cause you didn't understand the game, but I did

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game, uh

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game, word up

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game, word up

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game

Understand the game, understand the game

You got to understand the game, c'mon

Understand the game, understand the game
