Artist | Atmosphere |
Album | God Loves Ugly |
Release Date | 2002-06-11 |
Description | By this stage in his career, Atmosphere had built a solid fan base (especially in the Twin Cities). This track is addressing fans and (mostly) other rappers, with Slug feeling like he has been made a scapegoat for people’s complaints about the music scene. The difference between this track and previous ones aimed at other rappers is that Slug was in the position of an established local heavyweight, able to look down on other rappers from a position of power. Don’t blame the player. Blame the game. |
Lyrics | [Intro] Yo, yo, yo [Chorus] I wish that I had something to say That could wipe that smile right off of your face Here take my hand pretend you know my man Blame it all on the game, blame it all on the game [Interlude] To cold dis another's a thing that we love So here's another one to get jealous of, do it Ja! [Verse 1] So push your hand up if you remember the Juice Crew They don't make em' like they used to This supposed to be the new school? Your guns are aimless, songs are nameless How long you been famous? I claim this region two hundred-mile radius Twin Cities' flavors Rhymesayers got the tastiest And you can hate me, it's part of the territory As long as you know it's impossible to ignore me From middle fingers to hugs, tofu to the drugs The fight's fists, might as well just take pictures of Slug And live out your own life to the fullest Why you starin' at my feet when you're standin' in this bullshit? You could never learn how to ride a bike without balance So what's the point of trying to grab the mic without talents Go get your brakes looked at, you fucking fake hood rat Wanna be the basement's greatest? Too late, already took that! Father knows best, but Father knows stress But Father needs love, a back rub, and some rest Damn he could use a good home cooked meal Been burnin' both ends since he broke the seal Up, up and away, watch him take off Give himself a little hell and quit the day job And ignite the sunlight, tryin' to write about life About face, break the fear, and you're here till the plight You might also like[Chorus] And I wish that I had something to say That could wipe that smile right off of your face Here take my hand pretend you know my name And blame it all on the game, blame it all on the game [Verse 2] Cats be walkin' into the spot like they own it Wearin' a face that they should save for they opponents With the shoelaces tied, yet too wasted to drive Either way I've arrived to bless this place with my vibe Yeah right, my vibe ain't even cool I sit in the corner and drink until I slur and drool The t-shirt says "Shoot pool, not people Kill time, not life, grab the mic and let the beat go" (Beat go beat go beat go) But that's good for me It's hard to hide a magic card when you wear a short sleeve Force feed what I've got when they not hungry Tryin' to replace everything that they ripped off from me Bloat the tummy, and choke the dummy theory Beat the point dead until these folks hear me clearly Keep it all simple, a simplistic intricate Rebuild the robots with bigger tits and little fists Repo man, a world full of slow jams Grab the prize and clutch it tight with both hands Why go to serve tall talk? Anyone that calls this fall off can suck my balls off I ain't goin' nowhere, I'm still here, right here Same spot that I stood when you first woke up The same guy that grabbed the mic and made your girl wanna fuck The same MC still runnin' on an empty tank of luck [Chorus] And I wish that I had something to say That could wipe that smile right off of your face Here take my hand, pretend you know my name And blame it all on the game, blame it all on the game And I wish that I had something to say That could wipe that smile right off of your face Come here take my hand, pretend you know [Outro] Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Blame it all on the game (Blame it all on the game) Because of the beats other rhymes, when in fact it did |
