Lupe Fiasco - Put You On Game lyrics

Let me put you on game
Let me put you on game

Don't you know that I run this place?
And I've begun this race
Must I rerun this pace?
I'm the reason it's become this way
And their love for it is the
Reason I have become this praised
(Let me put you on game)
As they love my darkness
I make them heartless
And in return they have become my martyrs
I've been in the poem of many a poet
And I reside in the art of many a artist
(Let me put you on game)
Some of your smartest have
Tried to articulate my whole part in this
But they're fruitless in their harvest
The dro grows from my footsteps
I'm the one that they follow

I am the one that they march with
(Let me put you on game)
Through the back alleys and the black markets
The Oval offices, crack houses
And apartments
Through the mazes of the queens
The pages of the sages and
The chambers of the kings
(Let me put you on game)
Through the veinses of the fiends
A paper chaser's pager, yo
I'm famous on the scene
One of the oldest, most ancientest things
Speak every single language on the planet
Ya'n mean? (Let me put you on game)
I am the American dream
The rape of Africa, the undying machine
The overpriced medicine, the murderous regime
The tough guy's front and the
One behind the scenes
(Let me put you on game)
I am the blood of this city, it's gas, water
And electricity

I'm it's gym, and it's math, and it's history
The gunshots in the class
And you can't pass if you missin', G
I taught them better than that
I taught them aim for the head
And hope they never come back
I'm glad your daddy's gone, baby
Hope he never comes back
I hope he's with your mother with
My hustlers high in my traps
(Let me put you on game)
I hope you die in his trash i can't help it
All I hear when you crying is laughs
I'm sure somebody find you tied
Up in this bag behind the hospital
Little baby crack addicts had
(Let me put you on game)
Then maybe you can grow up and be a stripper
A welfare-receiving prostitute and
Gold digger you can watch on TV how
They should properly depict you
The rivers shall flow with liquor
Quench your thirst on my elixirs
(Let me put you on game)
I am the safe haven for the

Rebel runaway and the resistor
The trusted misleader
The number one defender
And from a throne of their bones I rule
These fools are my fuel, so I make them cool
(Let me put you on game)
Baptize them in the water
Out of Scarface pool
And feed them from the table
That held Corleone's food
If you die, tell them that you played my game
I hope your bullet holes become
Mouths that say my name cause, I'm the
