For The Love Of The Game

Lyrics

(Mega Ran) Run from your fears and chase your dreams Run from your fears and chase your dreams For the love of the game Murdock Before the million dollar pots, we would do it for free Goldeneye, late nights almost blew my degree I can't quite pinpoint what make me feel this way Deontay - still playing games till this day Before that, you would know where Ra be at Down the block at the bodega or laundromat Putting quarters on the cab, to claim I had next Street Fighter 2, NBA Jam we catch wreck Round the same timе, bit by the radioactive bug Hip hop had me cutting and actin tough Startеd dabbling writing some raps and stuff But money wasn't coming in fast enough But I did it for the love not the pay check Just to hear my voice coming out the tape deck Safe bet that if I never made a dollar wit it I'd still bother with it, you know the steez World health Org had the nerve to call it a disease Pandemic hits, then they say its all that you need To get by If now for games and hip hop My heart woulda been stopped For the love If the papes come yo yo I won't riff If they don't come no no I won't trip If its one thing you can take from me… That's.. Run from your fears and chase your dreams Come on Run from your fears and chase your dreams Come on Run from your fears and chase your dreams Come on Love what you do, do what you love Come on (DJ DN3) For the love of this thing I can't get enough of this thing It dont matter about the ruckus it bring See, I be up in this thing The feeling when i spin that platter All of a sudden, my life troubles just dont matter A matter of fact, i like to rhyme to shatter a track But even more...I like to put the beats to the raps I love the feeling. Mr Murdock is a witness to that We don't do this for the dollars And for counting our stacks. That's right Spinning jams for the people at night Somebody even told me I saved their life last night Aight...I be connecting with the people at jams House parties, street fests, and even rocking with Ran You think I like bumming cheese from K? Nah, that's my brother, ok We make the joints and it will stay that way See I appreciate the love of my fans Ain't nothing risky.... World tour with my mans touching the city If the papes come yo yo I won't riff If they don't come no no I won't trip If its one thing you can take from me… That's.. Run from your fears and chase your dreams Come on Run from your fears and chase your dreams Come on Run from your fears and chase your dreams Come on Love what you do, do what you love Come on Love what you do, and do what you love Love what you do, and do what you love Love what you do, and do what you love Love what you do, and do what you love On some days I wanna quit Most days I'm in love with it It used to feel like a punishment Not as fun it used to seem Now everyday is like a lucid dream Same feeling back when Stan brought his PlayStation over Final Fantasy 7 summons blew me off the sofa Dusted myself off picked up the controller This wasn't a game it was Culture Cause back in 95, we were influenced By, only built for Cuban Linx and Infamous, and Zane used to play them on the stoop so loud Mr Sunny yelling at the boys to turn that down So we put up a basketball hoop on a tree Had to pause every 5 mins, for the cars coming down the street But it was lit, the whole neighborhood would come around Mr Brewster threaten to shut it down Chuck was ambidextrous, big fundamentals 6 foot 4 he always played in the middle He was Alonzo mourning and I was Larry Johnson Skins was Tim Hardaway, Todd was John Stockton Running out of options Most went to work Some went to the block and some went to church Me I went to the pad, starting writing a verse Practice made perfect climbed out of the dirt Made a little paper, shook off the haters And I'm still doing 20 years later Even when it brought me nothing but pain Thank God for the love of the game Thank God
